Pyongyang now more than one-third smaller; food shortage issues suspected
THE ASAHI SHIMBUN
2010/07/17
SEOUL--The long-term effects of continued food shortages have apparently reached the city limits of North Korea's capital.
According to news agency Radiopress, which monitors North Korea, the physical size of Pyongyang's administrative district has been recently reduced by more than one-third.
It said Radio Pyongyang and other state-run domestic media have recently introduced the counties of Kangnam-gun, Junghwa-gun and Sangwon-gun as well as the Sungho district as being under the jurisdiction of neighboring Hwanghae-bukdo province. The counties and the district previously belonged to Pyongyang.
South Korean human rights groups see this as an attempt to trim the capital's population to better manage continuous food shortages.

P!
It’s not necessarily to trim the urben population, it’s just that there’s a good deal more tree bark and grass in the suburbs with which to feed the hungry masses.
The army and the crowds of bureaucrats, of course, remain well fed.
This is the socialism toward which the US under Obama and the Democrat-controlled congress is headed.
Maybe Castro, Chavez, and Maradona can head over there to teach them some new tricks to accelerate the starvation.
There should be more than enough farm land and rice patties in NK to feed the people. Anyone with half a brain knows this is a controlled famine to keep the people in line, also weak so they can’t stage a revolt.
Always scary to see something like that happen, even when you expect it to.
That’s one way to combat urban sprawl.

NK actually has a severe lack of farm land. It’s mountainous with very long winters.
One day, we’re all going to get to see what life in North Korea is really like for the everyday citizen.
I have a feeling what we’ll see on that day will be far worse than what we saw in the former Soviet Union (outside of Stalin’s reign) or Castro’s Cuba. I think on that day, what we’ll see will be the closest thing to Hell this world has ever known.
Combine that with weak harvests all round and we in trouble.

My thoughts exactly.
You even see that special on National Geographic TV where they got Lisa Ling few years ago leading team of eye doctors you think it be thanks the doctors but no they were thanking Little Kim very Stockholm Syndome
It’s been reported that Detroit is seeking to do the same.
