Source.QUOTE said:Seoul – The wave of protests that began in the Mideast appears to have reached even North Korea. For the first time in the history of the Stalinist regime, groups of ordinary citizens have protested in three cities demanding food and electricity, sources say. The event is exceptional and confirms the economic difficulties, especially concerning food supplies, people have to face under the Communist government. ... The State Security Department (the all-powerful agency under Kim Jong-il’s direct control) investigated the incident but failed to identify the people who started the commotion when they met with a wall of silence.
“When such an incident took place in the past, people used to report their neighbours to the security forces, but now they're covering for each other," the source said.
Interesting, it seems the recent protests in other countries may have been an inspiration. One source even says the South Korean dropped leaflets and supplies informing them of the other countries protests.
What do you all think this will lead to?
