DPRK Proves Successful in H-bomb
Test
The DPRK government issued the following statement Wednesday: 2016.1.6
There took place a world startling event to be specially recorded in the
national history spanning 5 000 years in the exciting period when all service
personnel and people of the DPRK are making a giant stride, performing
eye-catching miracles and exploits day by day after turning out as one in the
all-out charge to bring earlier the final victory of the revolutionary cause of
Juche, true to the militant appeal of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).
The first H-bomb test was successfully conducted in Juche Korea at 10:00 on
Wednesday, Juche 105 (2016), pursuant to the strategic determination of the
WPK.
Through the test conducted with indigenous wisdom, technology and efforts
the DPRK fully proved that the technological specifications of the newly
developed H-bomb for the purpose of test were accurate and scientifically
verified the power of smaller H-bomb.
It was confirmed that the H-bomb test conducted in a safe and perfect
manner had no adverse impact on the ecological environment.
The test means a higher stage of the DPRK's development of nuclear force.
By succeeding in the H-bomb test in the most perfect manner to be specially
recorded in history the DPRK proudly joined the advanced ranks of nuclear
weapons states possessed of even H-bomb and the Korean people came to
demonstrate the spirit of the dignified nation equipped with the most powerful
nuclear deterrent.
This test is a measure for self-defence the DPRK has taken to firmly
protect the sovereignty of the country and the vital right of the nation from
the ever-growing nuclear threat and blackmail by the U.S.-led hostile forces
and to reliably safeguard the peace on the Korean Peninsula and regional
security.
Since the appearance of the word hostility in the world there has been no
precedent of such deep-rooted, harsh and persistent policy as the hostile
policy the U.S. has pursued towards the DPRK.
The U.S. is a gang of cruel robbers which has worked hard to bring even a
nuclear disaster to the DPRK, not content with having imposed the thrice-cursed
and unheard-of political isolation, economic blockade and military pressure on
it for the mere reason that it has differing ideology and social system and
refuses to yield to the former's ambition for aggression.
The Korean Peninsula and its vicinity are turning into the world's biggest
hotspot where a nuclear war may break out since they have been constantly
stormed with all nuclear strike means of the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops,
including nuclear carrier strike group and nuclear strategic flying corps.
While kicking up all forms of economic sanctions and conspiratorial
"human rights" racket against the DPRK with mobilization of the
hostile forces, the U.S. has made desperate efforts to block its building of a
thriving nation and improvement of the people's living standard and "bring
down its social system".
The DPRK's access to H-bomb of justice, standing against the U.S., the
chieftain of aggression watching for a chance for attack on it with huge nukes
of various types, is the legitimate right of a sovereign state for self-defense
and a very just step no one can slander.
Genuine peace and security cannot be achieved through humiliating
solicitation or compromise at the negotiating table.
The present-day grim reality clearly proves once again the immutable truth
that one's destiny should be defended by one's own efforts.
Nothing is more foolish than dropping a hunting gun before herds of
ferocious wolves.
The spectacular success made by the DPRK in the H-bomb test this time is a
great deed of history, a historic event of the national significance as it
surely guarantees the eternal future of the nation.
The DPRK is a genuine peace-loving state which has made all efforts to
protect peace on the Korean Peninsula and security in the region from the U.S.
vicious nuclear war scenario.
The DPRK, a responsible nuclear weapons state, will neither be the first to
use nuclear weapons nor transfer relevant means and technology under any
circumstances as already declared as long as the hostile forces for aggression
do not encroach upon its sovereignty.
There can neither be suspended nuclear development nor nuclear
dismantlement on the part of the DPRK unless the U.S. has rolled back its
vicious hostile policy toward the former.
The army and people of the DPRK will steadily escalate its nuclear
deterrence of justice both in quality and quantity to reliably guarantee the
future of the revolutionary cause of Juche for all ages.
Juche Korea will be prosperous forever as it holds fast to the great WPK's
line of simultaneously pushing forward the two fronts.
Kim
Jong Un Watches Firing Contest of KPA Artillery Units
Kim Jong Un, first secretary of the Workers' Party of
Korea, first chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK and
supreme commander of the Korean People's Army, watched a firing contest of KPA
artillery units.
Taking
part in the contest were artillery sub-units under KPA Large Combined Units
966, 313, 567, 526, 233, 549, 324, 593 and 287.
After
hearing a report on the procedure and way of a single-gun firing contest, the
Supreme Commander watched the contest at an observation post.
All
the contestants hit every target with the perfect marksmanship they acquired in
routine drills and thus displayed the will of the powerful revolutionary
Paektusan army to mercilessly wipe out any provokers against the DPRK, a
socialist country.
With
a broad smile on his face, Kim Jong Un said that the dependable KPA
artillerymen are very good at firing and they seem to be well-trained snipers.
Noting
that the single-gun firing method, applied at the contest, is a very good
training method for single-shot hit without trial firing, he underlined the
need to positively study new ways, contents and methods of training, as
required by modern warfare, and thus improve the effectiveness of drills so as
to make a fresh progress in staging drills.
At
the contest the first place was taken by KPA Large Combined Unit 966, the
second by Unit 549 and the third by Unit 593. They were followed by Units 287,
313, 324, 567, 233 and 526 in standings.
Successful
units and soldiers were awarded crackshots certificates, medals and badges.
Then
Kim Jong Un advanced important tasks for building up the Juche-based artillery
force before KPA commanding officers, executive members of the KPA Party
Committee and artillery commanders of the large combined units.
What
is essential in strengthening the artillery force is to raise the firing
hit-rate above anything else, he said, urging the KPA to stage a brisk drive
for learning from the heroic artillerymen on Mu Islet as part of the crackshots
movement.
He
expressed great expectation and belief that the officers and soldiers of all
artillery units and sub-units would intensify their drills, as the
anti-Japanese guerillas did in Mt. Paektu, under the Party's slogan of
training-first to improve the artillery force in a qualitative way and thus
contribute to reliably defending the Party and the revolution, the country and its people.
1.4 COTONOU, (Xinhua) --
L'opérateur économique béninois Sébastien Germain Ajavon a officiellement
déclaré dimanche à Cotonou sa candidature pour la présidentielle béninoise de
février 2016.
Âgée de 51 ans, Sébastien Germain
Ajavon, spécialisé dans la commercialisation des produits alimentaires
(volaille, produits de la mer), est élu depuis 2005 président du Conseil national
du patronat du Bénin. Il a le soutien d'une dizaine de députés proche de
l'opposition au régime du président sortant.
Il a promis d'être, s'il était
élu, "le président de tous les béninois sans distinction de région,
d'ethnie, de sexe, de religion, de conviction politique et de catégorie
socio-professionnelle", et s'engage à débarrasser de "toute forme de
régionalisme et de népotisme".
Le Bénin connaitra en 2016 pour
la 6ème fois, l'organisation d'une élection présidentielle depuis l'avènement
du renouveau démocratique de février 1990.
Quelques 4,7 millions d'électeurs
béninois seront appelés aux urnes dès le 28 février 2016 pour le premier tour
de l'élection présidentielle, en vue d'élire le successeur de l'actuel chef
d'Etat du Bénin, Boni Yayi, dont le dernier mandat constitutionnel sera achevé
le 6 avril 2016.
Au Tchad, le chef de l’Etat a annoncé dans
son message de fin d’année que 2016 sera encore une année difficile sur le plan
économique en raison de la chute des cours du pétrole. Des perspectives qui
pourraient compliquer les relations entre le gouvernement et les travailleurs.
Le dernier trimestre de l’année
2015 a été marqué par des grèves des travailleurs notamment dans les secteurs
de l’éducation et de la santé en raison des retards dans le versement des
salaires. Des débrayages qui ont paralysé l’administration obligeant parfois
les élèves des établissements publics à manifester violement leur
mécontentement.
Début 2015, le chef de l’Etat
avait prévenu que l’année serait difficile. Il renouvelle cette prévision pour
l’année 2016 mais promet que le gouvernement fera de son mieux. « Je vous
invite donc à plus de responsabilité car l’année 2016 sera encore difficile »
déclare Idriss Deby. Le paiement des salaires sera assuré a cependant promis le
président tchadien qui a promis qu'il ne
connaîtrait « plus de retard criant ».
Pour l’an 2016 qui commence, le
Président Faure Gnassingbé a souhaité le samedi 02 janvier à ses compatriotes
et à leurs proches ses vœux ardents de santé, de paix profonde et de
prospérité.
En faisant le bilan de l’année
2015 qui s’est achevée, Faure a rappelé l’insécurité dans le monde, les
évènements à Tabligbo et Mango, le climat social qui s’est apaisé, les bonnes
perspectives économiques qui s’annoncent pour le pays et l’idée de la reprise
du processus de réformes politiques et de décentralisation.
En ce qui concerne les évènements
malheureux survenus à Tabligbo et Mango et leurs gestions, Faure a préconisé
des mesures préventives. Pour une prévision ou à défaut une gestion efficace de
ces genres de situation, il a invité les Togolais à travailler ensemble pour
prévenir ce genre de situations « que nous ne pouvons et ne devons tolérer’. Il
a demandé davantage de professionnalisme aux forces de sécurité et un sens
civique plus développé de la part de la population ».
Tout en se félicitant de la tenue
de la dernière présidentielle, il s’est aussi réjoui sur le plan économique et
social de son optimisme et de sa confiance quant à l’amélioration des
conditions de vie de la population. Il n’a manqué de souligner que « …la
sécurité, le climat social apaisé qui règne dans notre pays sont de précieux
acquis qui méritent d’être préservés… Il illustre la force du ciment social
togolais, fruit d’une décennie de politique de développement inclusif ».
En rapport avec la consolidation
de l’Etat de démocratie dans le pays, Faure Gnassingbé a annoncé que « … de
nouvelles étapes seront franchies dans le processus de réformes politiques et
de décentralisation. Ceci nécessite de donner corps à la commission sur les
réformes constitutionnelles et institutionnelles et d’amorcer la mise en œuvre
de la feuille de route relative à la décentralisation et aux élections locales
».

all-people study and one for disseminating latest science and technology in
which the party's plan has been materialized. He said meaningful words that the
first gate to the New Year to greet the 7th Congress of the Workers' Party of
Korea has been opened with science.
He
called for operating well the complex, the precious wealth of the country, and
greatly contributing to making all the people well versed in science and
technology, turning the DPRK into a power of science and technology and
developing it into a talented nation.
He
underscored the need for the scientific field to firmly build up forces for
developing science and technology, boost creative cooperation among scientists
and researchers and widely generalize the successes and experience gained and
thus steadily develop the nation's science and technology.
He stressed
the need for the agricultural sector to make a dynamic technological
revolution, apply scientific farming methods, increase the proportion of
mechanization in farm work and, at the same time, launch a high-pitched drive
for putting farming and stock-breeding on a scientific basis.
He
underlined the need for the field of education to steadily push forward the
work for improving conditions and environment for education in the age of
knowledge-based economy and thus train huge ranks of talents who will play
important roles in bringing earlier the building of a socialist economic power.
Present
at the ceremony were Hwang Pyong So, Pak Pong Ju, Kim Ki Nam, Choe Thae Bok, O
Su Yong, Ro Tu Chol, officials of the army and society, service personnel,
builders and helpers who took part in the construction of the complex,
officials and employees of the complex, officials of ministries, national
institutions, those of institutions and enterprises, and scientists, educators,
youth and students and other working people in Pyongyang.
