Demolition of Concrete Wall Urged

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

    Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- The military fascist clique in south Korea built a concrete wall 5-8 meters high, 10-19 meters wide at the bottom and 3-7 meters wide at the top, extending more than 240 km in the south side's area along the Military Demarcation Line, since 1977 to bisect the Korean nation at the instigation of the U.S. imperialists. The concrete wall initiated by the "Yusin" dictator and built by anti-reunification military dictators is a wall of division for cutting off the blood veins of the Korean nation and perpetuating its division, says Rodong Sinmun in a by-lined article Friday. The concrete wall bears witness to the hideous crimes of the traitors who pursued their ambition for power while seeking a way-out in the division of the country, clean indifferent to the destiny of the nation, the author of the article says, and goes on: The wall is a big shame and blot in the history of the Korean nation that has lived as a homogenous nation down through history spanning 5,000 years. In the time-honored history of the Korean nation, it built walls to defend the country from foreign aggression and safeguard national dignity and security. But there was no such a wall as the concrete wall built by the south Korean military fascist clique to bisect the country and gratify their greed for power.
    The concrete wall is never tolerable to the Korean nation which has lived as a homogenous nation, creating brilliant culture and history in one and the same territory for 5,000 years. And it is quite abnormal that such a wall still remains even in the era of reunification after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration. Huge resources, human and material, were consumed in the building of the wall which cuts across the territory of Korea, dividing it into two.
    Its demolition is a demand of the times and nation that brooks no further delay. The group of the Grand National Party of south Korea, forsaken by the nation and pushed to the margin of history, is getting more hysteric in the drive for division and confrontation while desperately clinging to such leftovers of the Cold War era as the "National Security Law" and the concrete wall, products of the crimes of their predecessors. This is an outright challenge to the trend of the times and the nation's desire for reunification.
    The era of "By our nation itself" is not compatible with the concrete wall. It must be pulled down immediately.
