STATEMENT ON THE MONTH OF STRUGGLE FOR PEACE AND REUNIFICATION IN KOREA
ISSUED BY THE STAFFORDSHIRE BRANCH OF THE UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION
It is now 67 years since the United States and the south Korean regime, and its allies unleased the Korean War (June 25th, 1950 - July 27th, 1953). The US Imperialists provoked the a war of conquest against the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea in the hope of destroying the independence and freedom of the Korean people. Over the course of the Korean war, three million Korean people were killed and more bombs were dropped on the territory of North Korea than during the entire Second World War.
The Korean people were able to launch a successful counter-attack upon the aggressors and were able to have liberated 90 per cent of south Korea from colonial rule. Under the command of Kim IL Sung, the Korean people fought the armies of US Imperialism and its satellites in the Fatherland Liberation War. The struggle of the Korean people with the US Imperialists was a war of national liberation and a class war against the people's enemies. Regrettably, the United Kingdom played a disgraceful role in the Korean conflict as a subordinate partner of the US military-industrial complex.
At the time of the Korean war, the US committed many appalling barbarities in the form of massacring civilians, the use of biological and chemical weapons. The most notorious example being the industrialized slaughter of 35,835 people at Sinchon by the US military. Members of the Staffordshire KFA Branch actually came across the evidence of the US Imperialists' mass murder of civilians at the site of Sinchon during an April 2017 DPRK visit. It is understandable that the Korean people harbour strong feelings of hatred and resentment against US Imperialism.
On July 27th, 1953, the Korean people and the Korean Peoples Army won an historic victory over the United States in the Fatherland Liberation War, other wise known as the Korean War. By defending the DPRK, from the aggression of the US Imperialists and hirelings, the Korean people upheld their national dignity and honour. The defeat of US Imperialism in the Korean War was the first time when a small post-colonial country achieved a miraculous victory over a superpower, this victory was due to the strategic leadership of Kim IL Sung. Since the end of the Korean War, the DPRK government has constantly called for a Peace Treaty with the USA and the normalization of relations with Washington.
Instead of working for peace on the Korean peninsula, the Trump Administration is stoking up tensions with the DPRK to unpresented levels. The US have recently put punitive sanctions against the DPRK,which are in effect a declaration of war. US Imperialism is attempting to delegitimize the DPRK and further isolate it among the international community. The war hawks of the Pentagon have threatened in the last couple of months, the DPRK with a pre-emptive nuclear strike. Adding to the atmosphere of war hysteria, the US has deployed the nuclear submarine "The USS Mississippi" into the East Sea of Korea and thus posing a threat to the DPRK. Stationed in south Korea are around a thousand nuclear weapons and 40,000 troops by the US Imperialists.
The Staffordshire Branch of the UK Korean Friendship Association urges during the month of solidarity with the Korean people that all progressive and peace-loving people to stand with the Korean people in their just cause of peaceful reunification. We demand that the Labour and Peace Movements in Britain call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of US military forces from south Korea and for the conclusion of a Peace Treaty between the DPRK and the USA. The Friends of Korea in Staffordshire extend our militant solidarity with our Korean brothers and sisters in the fight for socialism, peace and independence guided by the DPRK Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un !!
KOREA IS ONE!!
US OUT OF KOREA!!
PEACE IN KOREA, NOW!!
VICTORY TO THE ANDIF!!
