Kim Jong Un 'Seriously Ill' In North Korea Covid Surge, Says His Sister
Kim Jong Un’s younger sister revealed that the North Korean leader suffered from “high fever” during the new Covid outbreak, because he vowed to “eradicate” South Korean authority if they continued to tolerate propaganda leaflets that were blamed by the regime for spreading the virus.
Repeating the claim doubted that the pamphlet caused the new covid outbreak in the north, Kim Yo Jong blamed the “South Korean doll” for sending “dirty objects” across the border in leaflets brought by balloons, Korean official news agencies Korea reported Thursday.
The disclosure of his brother’s illness marks unusual recognition for regimes that rarely comment on the health of leaders – and then only to show that he shares the struggle of the people.
Kim Yo Jong said in his speech that the North Korean leader was “seriously ill” during his fight with fever, according to KCNA. Still, he added that his brother “could not lie down for a moment because of his worries towards people.” He did not say whether the elder Kim was among what was called North Korea “a fever case” or determined the date of his illness.
Being overweight and a smoker, Kim Jong Un’s health has encouraged speculation for years. His public appearance was tightly tracked for insights about the autocratic and secret regime in Pyongyang, mainly because his family had a history of heart disease.
Kim Jong Un went around 17 days without appearance in government media last month, although North Korean leaders often came out of the summer’s view to spend time at the Sea and MegayaCht mansion. He attended a party meeting that was in power on Wednesday where he claimed “victory” in “a great quarantine war.”
North Korea has not mentioned hundreds of thousands of cases of fever reported “Covid,” maybe because it does not have enough supply of test kit. The country has rejected the vaccine from outside, with a report that said the planned delivery had been postponed because of its objections to the rules of Covax, a body supported by the world health organization.
While Kim Jong Un mentioned South Korea in a statement published, his sister issued his first threat to the government of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol for taking power in May. “If the enemy continues to do dangerous things that can introduce the virus into our Republic, we will respond by eradicating not only viruses but also South Korean authority,” he said in his speech.
The South Korean Ministry of Unification declared “strong regret” of Kim Yo Jong’s statement, calling his claim “rough” and unfounded.
North Korea’s rhetoric against Seoul can arrange the stage for the start of military provocation that has slowed down in recent months, possibly due to an outbreak. North Korea seems ready to conduct its first nuclear test since 2017, government officials from Japan, South Korea and the US said.
Each weapon display in Kim’s nuclear weapons will function as a reminder of the urgent security issue caused by Pyongyang who has boiled as the administration of US President Joe Biden has focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
There are many places where the virus can enter North Korea. While most of the airports have been closed during Pandemi, the regime reopens the railroad tracks with China in January and black market traders often cross the border. A UN agency said that satellite images show sea traffic at the main international port of Nampho, and illegal trade is carried out in an open sea that violates sanctions.
North Korea – One of only two UN member countries has not yet launched a vaccination program – maybe trying to fend off mistakes from its leader over the plague that is too large to be ignored. The government has claimed that “foreign matters” sent across borders by balloons from the south brought Coronavirus to their territory -with health experts and the South Korean government said there was no precedent for the type of transmission described by I
Similar leaflets are in the middle of a series of North Korean complaints in the summer of 2020 which culminated in the regime that blew up the inter-Korean connecting office on the border side. Kim Yo Jong is also at the forefront of a rhetorical attack on the government of former President Moon Jae-in.
North Korea may “open the way to continue its trade with China” by claiming victory, the word Moo-jin, a professor at the North Korean Study University in Seoul who has advised the South Korean government.
