Sea of Tears: The Tragedy of Families Split by the Korean War

NOVANEWS 'How can there be a half-century of separation between brothers and sisters, between parents and children?' by: Simone Chun 77 year-old Park Seong-hwan sits in front of the pictures of family taken in North Korea, in his appartment in Seoul, South Korea on July 14, 2018. (Photo by Woohae Cho/Getty Images) This past July marked the 65th anniversary of the armistice that halted the Korean War. In addition to leaving nearly 5 million dead, injured, or missing, this bloody conflict forcibly separated nearly 10 million Korean families on either side of the 38th parallel. Since the1980s, a mere 20 face-to-face reunions have been held under tightly controlled conditions, with the last such event occurring in 2015. These reunions are infrequent one-time events-...

South Korea’s Moon Steers Toward Inter-Korean Unity While Wind from Washington Blows in His Face

NOVANEWS At the height of U.S. power following Japan’s defeat, Washington itself wrote the rules of the game for the Korean Peninsula — whether others are willing to continue playing along indefinitely remains another question entirely. Photos showing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, left, and South Korea President Moon Jae-in are displayed to demand withdrawal of U.S. troops from Korean Peninsula near the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, Aug. 13, 2018. Ahn Young-joon | AP By Elliott Gabriel SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA – South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in marked the anniversary of Korea’s independence from Japanese colonialism with a robust call for the economic integration of North and South Korea as a means to achieve “survival and development” as well as “true liberation” for the...

North Korea and The Washington Trap

NOVANEWS By Prof. Joseph H. Chung Global Research Note to readers: please click the share buttons above North Korea claims that it has shown, by concrete actions, its sincere desire to get rid of nuclear bombs and related facilities. But, the U.S. has done little in return; it is even adding sanctions against Pyongyang. Where does the Singapore Agreement go? It could go on a long bumpy road. More than a month and half have passed since the historical Kim-Trump summit in Singapore. But in the eyes of many of the Washington elite group, the South Korean conservative politicians, the corporate media and some of the Korea experts of corporate funded think – tank establishments, the Singapore summit is a failure. They claim that Trump has given too much to Kim Jong-un by treati...

The Faces of North Korea 'Video'

NOVANEWS By Andre Vltchek Global Research Note to readers: please click the share buttons above This is my 25-minutes piece about the DPRK (North Korea) – country that I visited recently; visited and loved, was impressed with, and let me be frank – admired. I don’t really know if I could call this a ‘documentary’. Perhaps not. A simple story, a poem, you know: I met a girl, tiny and delicate, at the roller-skating ring in Pyongyang. How old was she? Who knows; perhaps four or five. She was first clinging to her mom, then to a Korean professor Kiyul, even to a former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark. Then she began skating away, waving innocently, looking back at me, at us, or just looking back… Suddenly I was terribly scared for her. It was almost some physical fear. Perhaps ...

While US Seeks to Up the Ante on Pressure on the DPRK, Russia Proposes Easing Sanctions

NOVANEWS These proposals show the dichotomy between the philosophy of US and Russian foreign policy. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watches parade participants from a balcony at the Kim Il Sung Square on Tuesday, May 10, 2016, in Pyongyang, North Korea. Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans celebrated the country’s newly completed ruling-party congress with a massive parade featuring floats bearing patriotic slogans and marchers with flags and pompoms. Wong Maye-E | AP By Frank Sellers The United States last week accused the DPRK of violating refined petroleum caps imposed as a part of UN nuclear sanctions dating back to 2006, and is therefore submitting a proposal to cut all petroleum product sales to North Korea. The Trump administration is keen on not only preserving pre...

Washington’s Message to North Korea

NOVANEWS Washington’s Message to North Korea: Denuclearize, Accept Neoliberalism and the “Vietnam Miracle”. Meanwhile Kim Remains on the “CIA Assassination List” By Prof Michel Chossudovsk Global Research Note to readers: please click the share buttons above US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in Pyongyang on a two day visit “ to press leader Kim Jong-un for details on his plans for denuclearisation.” It was a polite and courteous welcome, Korean style. But with Pompeo in charge of negotiations, what are the prospects? Back in October 2017, Pompeo hinted in no uncertain terms when he was head of the CIA: “If Kim Jong-un suddenly dies, don’t ask me about it … “ “With respect, if Kim Jong-un should vanish, given the history of the CIA, I’m just not going to talk about it,”...

Trump✔@realDonaldTrump Before taking office people were assuming that we were going to War with North Korea. President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer - sleep well tonight! 11:01 AM - Jun 13, 2018 He was very excited about his “agreement” and couldn’t stop praising Kim for weeks afterward, apparently convinced by his braying sycophants that he was a shoo-in for the Nobel Peace Prize. It was obvious that he had offered up the cancel...

What Would Help the Peace Process in Korea?

NOVANEWS By David William Pear | American Herald Tribune It looks like peace is breaking out in Korea. The Koreans themselves are moving fast to mend their nation. When paradigm shifts happen they often happen quickly. In just a little over a year the South Korean people demanded the ouster of the corrupt rightwing Park Geun-hye as their president, and a new election replaced her with the liberal human rights lawyer Moon Jae-in. Moon brought in a new era with the overwhelming support of the South Korean people. Kim Jong-un of North Korea responded likewise. Since the beginning of this year the normalization of relations between the North and the South have been moving fast. U.S. diplomats cannot keep up with it. So let us look into the deep roots of the Korean War and what would help the ...
