Inside North Korea: “We are stuck, waiting to die”
www.bbc.co.uk
For months, the BBC has been communicating in secret with three North Koreans living in the country. They expose, for the first time, the disaster unfolding there since the government sealed the borders more than three years ago.

An alarming look into current conditions inside DPRK

    It’s insane to me that at the end of the article Chan Ho (the male) says he wishes the West would go to war with North Korea and topple the government. It’s sad to think that this is the only option available since 1. Citizens can’t even trust each other and 2. They’re more concerned about surviving the week without dying of stsrvstion. Kim Jong Un has effectively eliminated the possibility of revolution/uprising.i wonder what his thinking is. If he continues like this his population will dwindle and infrastructure will crumble. The effects will travel upwards to his position until he has to burn through all his wealth to rule over no one.

      This is the most surprising aspect to me. I can’t imagine the level of oppression it must take to prevent people who are literally starving to death and watching their families starve to death from taking drastic measures. The soldiers are also watching their loved ones starve to death. What psychological hell they must be living in

        I agree, I don’t see any realistic scenario where the west enters NK
