This article is the best indictment of the N. Korean practice of diverting aid supplies for the military use and the enrichment of party elites, which I have encountered so far. It is detailed and quite specific about its description. I hope many Freepers would agree.

Sounds like the oil for food in Iraq. I must state one thing TLR, rural Koreans must quit selling their children into slavery. I know, I was there, it is not a prety picture.

Thanks for the Ping.

"Seeing the ruins of Ryongchon and malnourished people made me cry for such horrible conditions. The entire generation of kids born after 1990 are about to be in danger of being ruined for life due to severe malnutrition. Their malnutrition is near catastrophic proportion. Pragmatic child-saving medicines such as minerals and vitamin pills and dairy products should be provided after thinking hard about what are really need for fellow N. Koreans."

Heartbreaking . The difference between life in the north and south.......people in the north just try to exist. People in the south - Live.
