STATEMENT OF NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE KFA ON KEY RESOLVE/FOAL EAGLE

STATEMENT OF THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE
KFA ON THE US/SOUTH KOREAN WAR GAMES
"KEY RESOLVE/FOAL EAGLE" STAGED FROM
8TH MARCH TO 18TH MARCH 2010
It is with a sense of great concern that we, the friends of Korea, view the recent sinister delevopments on the Korean peninsula. The North Staffordshire regional committee of the Korean Friendship Assoication(UK) sees the staging of military manoeuvres codenamed "Key Resolve/Foal Eagle" in south Korea during the period of March 8th to March 18th 2010 by the United States and by the south Korean regime has being highly provocative and extremely dangerous.These exercises now underway are nothing but a simulation of the kind of regime change which was carried out by the brute armed force of US imperialism in Afghanistan & Iraq. The US is throwing into "Key Resolve/Foal Eagle" 10,000 troops and 8,000 reinforcements from the US mainland and from other theatres. During the manoeuvres the US military are replicating the use of short range nuclear weapons aganist the north and the US is practising the tactics of blockage aganist DPRK ports under the PSI scheme.
Public opinion throughout the world got the impression that with a change of administration in the White House last year the United States would fundamentally amend its attitude towards the DPRK. Instead the Obama administration and the Lee Myong Bak regime are following the failed and obsolete policy of confrontation with the DPRK as evidenced in the "Key Resolve/Foal Eagle" game. The warlords of Washington and Seoul should be aware that pressure and threats will never work with Socialist Korea. Time and again the DPRK has called for the United States to sign a peace treaty, which would guarantee stability and tranquillity on the Korean peninsula and in northeast Asia. The British friends of Korea hope that the north and south of Korea can return to process of Peace and reunification began ten years under the patriotic banner of "By-Our-Nation-Itself".
The North Staffordshire Regional Committee of the Korean Friendship Association (UK) calls upon all peace campaigners,anti-imperialists and democrats in Britain and in other countriesto put strong presurre on the United States and south Korea to immediately halt these aggressive war games at once. We in the North Staffordshire KFA desire to see direct negotiations between the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea & the United States for a lasting peace. The dream of the Korean nation for reunification must be made a reality by the Korean people independently.We urge the British public to struggle for solidarity with the Korean people in their fight for reunification and the KFA(UK) demands that the British Government follows a positive course in opposing the current war games being held in south Korea.
KOREA IS ONE!!
