“Humanitarian Aid”: What is it Aiming for?

 

The U.S. and its followers are now making crafty attempts in the United Nations (UN) to misuse the humanitarian aid to the DPRK for their ulterior political purpose.

Following is the typical example of it. In the UN General Assembly and UN Security Council (UNSC), they are misleading public opinion as if our country is faced with “humanitarian crisis” by the cut-off of the outside assistance in the wake of the closure of border over a long period of time. They are also pretending to be interested in “humanitarian aid”, harping on about “cooperation without preconditions”.

The U.S. and its followers have been in a frenzy to isolate and stifle us politically, economically and militarily. But, all of sudden, they have turned themselves into “humanitarians” talking about “aid”. This makes us suspicious about what their real intention is.

As has been known, the U.S. has never recognized our sovereignty, taking the DPRK as an enemy state since the very day of its foundation. And it has been openly hostile to socialism chosen by our people.

The U.S. has annually staged war drills of all kinds on the Korean peninsula and its surrounding land and waters for the last several decades, and threatened us by frequently deploying many of its military hardware in south Korea.

In recent years alone, the U.S. and its followers took issue with our self- defensive measures and viciously attempted to adopt additional “sanctions resolutions” in UNSC. They also openly laid bare their dangerous attempt to overpower us militarily by providing “extended deterrence” with nuclear weapon as its core.

In regard of such behavior of the U.S., the international society is now raising its voice that the U.S. must take practical action to withdraw its anti-DPRK hostile policy rather than paying lip service to “dialogue without preconditions” and “diplomatic engagement”.

The U.S. is clamoring for so-called “humanitarian assistance” while getting overheated in anti-DPRK isolation and pressure. It is aimed at escaping criticism from the international society leveled at it.

The U.S. and the Western countries, the biggest failed states in anti- epidemic measures, are saying this or that about other’s anti-epidemic policy. But it is sheer folly of those accustomed to justifying themselves by picking on others.

Life safety and well-being of the people stand as the top priority for the DPRK government. Thanks to its pre-emptive and scientific anti-epidemic policy, our country set the longest record of zero case in the world anti- epidemic history. Even in the current emergency, we are stably containing and controlling the spread in such a short period.

If the U.S. and its followers cling to their vain scheme to mislead public opinion by turning black into white, they will end up with their shabby looks being exposed to the international society.

The U.S. and the Western countries should strain their nerves to clean up their own mess of holding the unquestioned lead in the number of infected and dead cases of COVID-19, rather than busying themselves with producing a clumsy farce by letting loose an empty talk of “humanitarian aid”.
