UN TO END DPRK FOOD AID BY JANUARY
by Richardson ~ September 18th, 2005. Filed under: Hunger & Famine, North Korea.Evidently South Korea is providing enough food with no strings attached that the North feels they can shun the aid that’s more difficult to move to the elite and military:
The United Nations will end a decade of emergency food shipments to North Korea by January at the request of the impoverished nation’s government, which says it has enough food coming from other sources… [according to sources] ”They claim they have enough food coming in from other sources… They didn’t want to create a culture of dependency.” [emphasis added]
Whoever the joke is on, it’s not the regime in the North.
