Liberation
and Peaceful Prosperity of African Countries are in Songun
Dear friends!
Guests!
Today
I have an honor to make a speech at the international seminar on the Juche idea
for the independence against imperialism and solidarity held in the beautiful
capital city of the DPRK.
First
of all, I would like to congratulate respected Kim Jong Un on
being elected as chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK by the unanimous
support of all the deputies of the 4th Session of the 13th
Supreme People’s Assembly.
Also
I would like to express gratitude to all of the organizers who made me
understand the great scientific system—Songun politics by paying efforts to
organizing this international seminar.
The
main points of my speech are as follows.
Chapter
one is about the analysis of the international situation, chapter two focuses on
the analysis of the experience of the national liberation of the Korean people
and the last chapter I made three analysis of the relations between Africa and Songun.
1.
International political environment
Mass
destruction and establishment of the dangerous areas inevitably produced by the
strengthening of the nuclear deterrent urgently requires the political theories
and strategies for development to be once more reexamined. For this reason it
is necessary to decide and apprehend the man’s position and destiny in the
world, especially the Africans’ position and destiny in the world in a specific
way. In fact the wars broken in Africa are usually
controlled by the western countries and they are getting worse and worse. The
disputes on the border problems and tribal and religious disputes, threats of
terror and disruption and extremism affect ominously to the trust and
cooperation between the African countries. Most of the colonial African
countries are its first victims.
A
pure African problem never exists and there doesn’t exist a problem relevant
for a country.
For example it is not too much to say the recent crises
happening in Kinshasa of Congo are also happening in most countries in the
African continent.
At
the moment in the Democratic Republic of Congo the national reconstruction
under the politics of the modernizing revolution of President Joseph Kabila is
being carried on. But as well as the other African countries they are faced
with all shades of the imperialists’ intervention being executed under the
purpose to obstruct the national independence and to stamp out all the efforts
for the development outset by the leaders.
Although
the efforts to root out the military disputes are being continuously made we
can’t help feeling that the peace of the world has not yet settled.
So
how do we have to struggle and what strategies do we have to introduce to
achieve the liberation of Africa while not
only the serious problems related to the world security but also the disputes
on the territorial, tribal and religious problems are becoming more serious? What
is the real worth and ethical and moral worth of violence and army? Is there
that kind of international standard to regard as an inspiration for the
Africans?

The experience of national liberation of
the DPRK
1) Foundation
of the Juche idea
The
Juche idea founded by President Kim Il Sung bases itself on
the philosophical principle that man is the master of everything and decides
everything.
This principle
carries important truths.
The
first one is that man is the master of the world. Referring to the Juche idea
this means man controls the world and makes the world serve him. Man can’t live
apart from the society and is under the influence of the surrounding nature and
social environment. But man doesn’t face the surrounding situation and
condition passively. Man changes the social system into favorable one for him. The
society as the community where the people live and work together is changed and
developed by man. The society can’t exist apart from man and the social system
itself and can’t be developed apart from man.
The
Juche idea also illuminates that man is the master of his own destiny.
This
is the logical result of the first principle. It is because if man is able to
control the world he can possibly carve out his own destiny too. So referring
to the Juche idea man’s destiny is not predestined but is carved out by man.
The
Juche idea consisting of leading and historic philosophical principles gives an
important illumination of man’s position in the world.
To
guarantee the independent position of man illuminated by the Juche idea we
should follow Songun politics.
2)
Songun politics
Chairman
Kim
Jong Il—a
philosopher of politics, an outstanding economist, a great military strategist
and a genius of literary and art said.
“The idea and
line of giving importance to force of arms and military affairs, advanced and
consistently maintained by President Kim
Il Sung, constitute the
basis and starting point of our Party’s Songun politics.”
Songun
means giving importance to force of arms, giving precedence to military affairs
as it says.
Respected
Kim
Jong Un
said as follows at the 7th Congress of the WPK.
“Songun politics
is the main socialist political mode of Comrade Kim
Jong Il’s style. It
gives precedence to military affairs above all else on the principle of
attaching importance to arms, the principle of prioritizing military affairs,
strengthens the motive force of the revolution with the Korean People’s Army as
the core and main force, and advances the socialist cause victoriously by
relying on it.”
Songun
politics means giving importance to military affairs not neglecting the other
sectors of social life different from militarism which transforms all civil
society into the army. Referring to Songun politics the Korean People’s Army
plays the leading role in the performance of war and securing the peace and in
the country’s construction. Army is the core of the motive force of the
revolution.
Songun
politics of the DPRK bases itself on scientific and revolutionary principles of
Songun revolution.
The
principles of Songun revolution are that the revolution is pioneered and
advanced and accomplished with arms and that the army is the Party, the country
and the people.
This
revolutionary principle carries two essential contents.
First
of all, it is that the main factor of the final victory in the confrontation of
power with the counterrevolutionary forces including the imperialists is the
arms and the arms also plays decisive role in the socialist construction.
Next,
it is that the destiny of the Party and country, the people are decided by the
army.
If
the army is strong the Party can be rebuilt even if it breaks but if it is weak
not only the achievements of the revolution but also the Party can’t be
maintained and the country can be broken down and the people are to be doomed
to colonial slavery. From this the army is the Party and country and the
people.
Songun
politics prevented the war and secured the peace and security of the Korean peninsula.
A
war is an organized armed struggle to realize the demand of a class, a nation
and a country by special means of violence.
Due
to the existence of the imperialism which, from its original character, is
aggressive, the world is in consistent danger of war.
Songun
politics safeguards the people from the disaster of war by smashing the
imperialists’ continuous warmongering maneuvers and by strengthening the army
politically and ideologically, militarily and technically and by strengthening
the national defense capacities.
The
Korean People’s Army which is completely armed and prepared in ideology thanks
to Songun politics became a powerful army that no one dares to attack, fearing
of their unpredictable retaliation.
The
might of Songun politics is also highly demonstrated in the diplomatic arena. In
diplomacy it is custom to find out the solution to the problems aroused between
two or several countries through talks. If talks become an important means in
the negotiation, weapons become more important one.
To
safeguard the country’s sovereignty and the people’s interests in the
diplomatic arena and negotiation, we have to have a mighty military strength.
Those
victories achieved by north Korean diplomacy in the negotiation with the US are
due to Songun politics. Then what about the situation in Africa?
3.
Africa and
Songun politics
Africa is
like a patient that fails to attain the desired effects by taking medicine from
those who gave disease. The answer is clear. It has to have its cause of
disease diagnosed rather than taking new medicine from them. It is because most
of those medicines are ones to taboo.
The
western countries are turning the attention of African countries to other
direction by giving answer to the unasked ones instead of making right prescription
suitable for the cause of disease and taking right measures. We call this as “maladjusted
nature of the answer to the aroused problem.”
In
fact the fundamental problem of Africa is not
the struggle against the starvation and poverty, illiteracy and AIDS as indicated
in the objectives of thousand years in the future but is struggle against the instability
and is an issue related with the dignity and sovereignty.
The
best way to maintain the independence is to prepare the self-defense capacities.
The self-defense capacities are no
other than maintenance of independence and stability.
To
safeguard the country’s stability and territory the military affairs and
national self-defense should be given precedence and apart from the army and
national self-defensive all the political programs for the national
reconstruction can’t escape from facing the failure.
The
Juche idea is the root of Songun idea and Songun idea is a brilliant embodiment
of the Juche idea.
With
these two ideas we can model the whole society on a unique idea. This once more
proves the idea of respected Kim Jong Un who told that
Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism is a scientific ideology that illuminates the future
of the struggle for national liberation of the whole world.
Stability
is the core of all the current African problems and we should find out the
right solution to achieve stability before thinking of other aspects of life. As
the other new meaning of the word development is peace turning face away from
this problem is refusing the hastening of liberation of Africa.
No peace no social development.
To
oppose the imperialism and achieve the social stability and peace the Africans
should be remodeled in ideology. They should be armed with the Juche idea and
Songun idea.
Military
force should be developed as the arms. This is important in the struggle
against the imperialism and as they are the means that can’t be neglected.
This
enables to secure the dignities of the countries. And this is the way the
African countries should choose to go for a leap.
In
a word Songun politics is a philosophy for the real development different from
the other scientific fantasies and is an answer to the issues of liberation and
peace and prosperity of the colonial countries especially for the African
countries.
In
conclusion I want to emphasize once more that Songun politics is a definite
selection for the leap of the continent and is the political mode to achieve
complete development of Africa.
