Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from South Korea Called for

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

    Pyongyang, February 27 (KCNA) -- All the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad should conduct a patriotic movement for independent reunification, peace against war and great national unity under the banner of "By our nation itself" so as to get the U.S. imperialist aggression troops withdrawn from south Korea at an early date as they have brought all sorts of misfortune and sufferings to the Koreans for more than 60 years of their presence in south Korea, urges Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed article. The Koreans' cause of national reunification has made dynamic progress, registering signal achievements unimaginable in the past since the advent of the June 15 era of reunification, the article notes, and goes on:
    Grand festivals for reunification were held in the north and the south with splendor for the first time in the history of the nation's division, which brought together not only non-governmental figures but authorities. The spirit of attaching importance to the nation, the Korean nation-first spirit is running high wherever Koreans live, making the hurricane of independent reunification rage throughout Korea. This is a stirring reality.
    However, the movement of the Korean nation for national reunification is by no means a smooth sailing. The situation in Korea still remains close to the brink of war and the inter-Korean relations often find themselves in the mire of frustration and stagnation quite contrary to the unanimous aspiration and wishes of all the Koreans. The U.S. has never favored inter-Korean reconciliation, unity and reunification, prompted by its intention to keep south Korea under its military occupation for an indefinite period, pursuant to its strategy for dominating Korea. The facts clearly indicate that a failure to force the U.S. imperialist aggression troops, the cancer-like entity harmful to the peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula, to quit south Korea and check and foil the U.S. criminal strategy for dominating Korea would have an irrevocable grave impact on the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration, a gain attained through a hard struggle.
    The article calls on the Koreans to turn out as one in the struggle to force the U.S. imperialist aggression troops chiefly responsible for the nation's division to go back to their den from south Korea.
