Rodong Sinmun Calls on Everybody to Be Man of Strong Faith and Will

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, September 2 (KCNA) -- The repatriation of unconverted long-term prisoners with strong faith and will and the five years since then proved the noble revolutionary ethics prevailing in our society, the truth that the life of a revolutionary who displayed patriotism always remains worthwhile and shining more than anything else. Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in an editorial. It goes on: At least 60 unconverted long-term prisoners were repatriated to the north at one time to enjoy the greatest happiness in their lives. This reality was the shining fruition of the noble comradeship and revolutionary obligation of leader Kim Jong Il, peerlessly great man and benevolent father of the nation.
    The great leadership provided by Kim Jong Il for solving the issue of the unconverted long-term prisoners finds its expression in such noble sense of revolutionary obligation as looking after the destiny of revolutionaries in a responsible manner to the last. Kim Jong Il made up his mind to bring back the prisoners and translated it into reality, though it was the job of which no one could even think, and brought the highest honor and the greatest happiness to them. This miracle of history could be wrought only by him who is possessed of boundless fidelity to the revolution and noble sense of moral obligation towards the revolutionary soldiers.
    We are now faced with heavy yet honorable tasks to vigorously push ahead with the building of a great prosperous powerful nation and achieve independent reunification of the country, single-mindedly united around Kim Jong Il under the uplifted banner of Songun.
    National reunification is an urgent task before the people in our generation. All the Koreans in the north, the south and overseas should give fresh spurs to the movement for the country's reunification with hope and firm confidence in the prospect of the reunification cause.
    They should frustrate the anti-reunification moves of the outside forces and dynamically propel the movement for independent reunification with the same patriotism and will as displayed by the former unconverted long-term prisoners. Kim Jong Il has pursued such benevolent politics as respecting and putting forward those patriots who devoted themselves to national reunification. He embraces all those having a will for reunification and patriotism irrespective of idea and ideal, political view and belief and past career. All the fellow countrymen with ardent patriotism should join in the movement for great national unity and make a tangible contribution to the cause of reunification.
    The army and the people of the DPRK united close around Kim Jong Il on the basis of the Songun idea and confidence will surely build a reunified great prosperous powerful nation before long and powerfully demonstrate the dignity of Kim Il Sung's nation all over the world.
