Kim Yong Nam, the president of the country’s parliament, is in Uganda as part of a rare tour of Africa, where North Korea has actively tried to cultivate potential allies like the long-serving, increasingly anti-West Museveni.

Ah so, its just another chess move by NK. Lots of chess moves out there, and yet Mr. head up his butt, doesn’t know when to make his next move?? There is a reason we keep getting our noses tweaked.

I never felt that our country has been so crapped on as I do these past 6 years.
