THE man expected to take over as North Korea's leader is in charge of plans for demonstrations to disrupt a summit of world leaders in Seoul. This is according to a defector's report published in the South. In a sign of his rising influence, Jong-un, the third and youngest son of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, is said to have chaired a meeting of the powerful National Defence Commission to discuss the campaign. It is likely to include a call for extreme left-wing groups sympathetic to North Korea to join violent protests against the G20 summit in the South Korean capital in November. Police are preparing a huge security operation to protect the meeting, and South Korea's military forces, plus 27,000 US troops, will be on high alert for any North Korean provocations, such as the sinking of a naval frigate earlier this year.

North Korea's long record of sabotage, infiltration and assassination has made the intelligence services in the South wary of surprise attacks. They believe North Korea's actions are linked to its internal power struggles. The government in Seoul is still unsure whether a key meeting of North Korea's ruling party, at which Jong-un is expected to be introduced as the heir of the 69-year-old leader, will go ahead as scheduled this week. Such is the secrecy of the North Korean regime, however, that even the year and date of Jong-un's birth are disputed. It is generally agreed that he is aged between 27 and 29, and that his mother, who died of breast cancer in 2004, was Kim's third wife, the dancer Koh Yong-hee. Jong-un was educated at a private international school in Bern and later attended the Liebefeld-Steinhoelzi school in a quiet suburb of the Swiss capital. He was watched over by Ri Choi, for 30 years the North Korean ambassador to Switzerland, and guardian of Kim Jong-il's reputed $US4 billion fortune. Classmates remember a quiet boy who arrived in a chauffeur-driven car every day. He was shy with girls but developed a "fiercely competitive" streak on the basketball court. He worshipped basketball stars and had a collection of Nike sneakers. The only independent witness to Jong-un's early childhood was Kenji Fujimoto, a Japanese chef who worked for the Kim clan. He said that even as a small boy Jong-un was hostile and suspicious of strangers. It was Jong-un's pugnacious personality that persuaded his father to prefer him over his elder brother, Jong-chol, whom Kim Jong-il called "too girlish". Jong-un's ascent began after his father's stroke in August 2008. In March last year, he was elected to the Supreme People's Assembly. In April he was spotted with his father at a missile test launch. Ten days later he oversaw a giant fireworks display in Pyongyang in homage to his grandfather Kim Il-sung. Last month, Jong-un accompanied his father to China, where he met President Hu Jintao, and was approved by the Chinese as the successor. An unusual number of North Korean officials have died since the dynastic manoeuvring began. In June, the veteran party ideology official Ri Je-gang, 80, died in an unexplained car crash. In April, administrator Ri Yong-chol died of a heart attack, aged 81. And in March, the finance chief Pak Nam-gi, who was in his 70s, was executed by firing squad, supposedly for bungling a currency reform that wiped out people's savings. Delegates to the first major party conference in 30 years arrived in Pyongyang last night. The conference, which was postponed from early September, is due to open tomorrow.

शनिबार उत्तर कोरियामा मध्य रातमा भव्य सैन्य शक्ति प्रदर्शनको आयोजना गरिएको थियो जसमा देशका सर्वोच्च नेता किम जोङ–उनको उपस्थिती थियो । परेडको आयोजना वर्कर्स पार्टीको ७५ औं वार्षिकोत्सवको मौकामा आयोजना गरिएको थियो । नयाँ मिसाइल र हतियारलाई देखाउनका लागि उत्तर कोरियाले सैन्य शक्ति प्रदर्शनको आयोजना गर्ने गर्छ । जानकारका अनुसार शनिबार राती भएको यो परेडका क्रममा इन्टरकन्टिनेन्टल ब्यालेस्टिक मिसाइलको प्रदर्शनले यो कुराको पुष्टि गरेको छ । पछिल्लो दुई वर्षमा पहिलो पटक उत्तर कोरियामा कुनै सैन्य शक्ति प्रदर्शनको आयोजना गरिएको हो । यहाँ याद गर्नुपर्ने कुरा के छ भने अमेरिकी राष्ट्रसित चुनाव हुनुभन्दा ठिक अघि उत्तर कोरियाले आफ्नो नयाँ हतियारको प्रदर्शन गरेको हो । सन् २०१८ मा अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनल्ड ट्रम्प र किम जोङ–उनबीच भएको पहिलो शिखर वार्तापछि उत्तर कोरियाले परेडमा ब्यालेस्टिक मिसाइलको प्रदर्शन गरेको थिएन । दक्षिण कोरियाको सेना अनुसार शनिबार शनिबार मध्य रातमा सैन्य शक्ति प्रदर्शनको आयोजना गरिएको हो तर रातीको समयमा यसको आयोजना किन गरियो, यसबारे कुनै जानकारी भने प्राप्त छैन । कुनै पनि विदेशी मिडिया वा विदेशी व्यक्तिलाई परेडमा समावेश हुन पूर्ण रुपमा प्रतिबन्ध थियो । यस्तोमा जानकार उक्त प्रदर्शनबारे थाहा पाउनका लागि उत्तर कोरियाली सरकारद्वारा जारी गरिएको तस्बिर र भिडियोमा पूर्ण रुपमा निर्भर रहे । उत्तर कोरियाबाट प्राप्त तस्बिरमा प्रदर्शनको क्रममा किम जोङ–उन खैरो रङको सूटमा देखिए । यो मौकामा दिएको आफ्नो भाषणमा किम जोङ–उनले भने, ‘आत्मरक्षा र हमलाको उत्तर दिनका लागि उत्तर कोरिया आफ्नो सेनालाई बलियो बनाउन जारी राख्नेछ ।’ उनले आफ्नो देशमा कोरोनाभाइरसका कुनै पनि संक्रमित नभेटिएकोमा ईश्वरलाई धन्यवाद दिए । उनले भने, ‘संसारका अन्य मुलुकमा यो घातक भाइरसबाट लडिरहेका मानिसहरुको शीघ्र स्वास्थ्यलाभको कामना गर्दछु ।’ देशमा कोरोना संक्रमित नभएको दाबीबीच किम जोङ–उनले देशमा कडा प्रतिबन्धको सुनिश्चितताका लागि उच्च स्तरीय बैठकको आयोजना गरिरहेका छन् । यद्यपि, उत्तर कोरियामा कुनै पनि संक्रमित नहुनु सायदै सम्भव भएको मान्यता राख्छन् । यो शक्ति प्रदर्शन चिन्ताको विषय किन हो ? एलिस्टेयर कोलम्यानको विश्लेषण, बीबीसी मोनिटरिङ किम जोङ–उनले आफ्नो भाषणको अन्त्यमा भने, ‘देशका महान नागरिकहरुको उमेर लामो होस् !’ तर योभन्दा ठिक अघि उनले आफ्नो भाषणमा आर्थिक मोर्चामा देश संघर्ष गरिरहेको पनि स्विकार गरे । यद्यपि, सरकारी टेलिभिजनमा किम इल–सुङ स्क्वायरमा भएको यो प्रदर्शन हेर्ने विश्लेषकले प्रदर्शनमा समावेश भएका सेनालाई हरेर सशस्त्रबलको खर्चमा कुनै प्रकारको कमी नगरिएको स्पष्ट भएको बताएका छन् । यो परेड विश्लेषण गरिरहेका विश्लेषकले त्यहाँका सैनिक नयाँ हतियार (असल्ट विपन्स) बाट सुसज्जित भएको देखेका होलान् र परेडमा हतियारले भरिएका गाडीसहित नयाँ एयर डफेन्स सिस्टम झैं देखिने उपकरण थिए । यद्यपि, पश्चिमी दुनियाँलाई प्रदर्शनमा समावेश गरिएको नयाँ ब्यालेस्टिक मिसाइलका कारण चिन्ता हुनेछ । सबैभन्दा पहिले पुकगुकसाङ्ग फोरए मिसाइल देखियो जुन पनडुब्बीबाट दाग्न सकिन्छ । त्यसपछि विशाल इन्टरकन्टिनेन्टल ब्यालेस्टिक मिसाइल (आइसीबीएम), लञ्च ह्विकलको साथमा देखियो । यो ११ एक्सेल भएको आधुनिक गाडी थियो । अहिलेसम्म यो मिसाइललाई के नाम दिइएको होला भनेर जानकारी छैन । गत वर्ष उत्तर कोरियाले आफ्नो परमाणु क्षमतालाई बढाउन जारी राख्ने कुरा थुप्रै पटक बताएको थियो । शनिबार प्रदर्शनमा देखिएको मिसाइल उनको यसै सन्देशलाई पुष्टि गर्दछ । तर यसपछि कोरियाली प्रायद्वीपमा शान्ति र कूटनीतिक सम्भावना अब कति बचेको छ, यसबारे एउटा अनुमान मात्रै लगाउन सकिन्छ । स्रोतः बीबीसी
