Spirit of April 19 Popular Uprising Calls for Massive Resistance: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, April 19 (KCNA) -- The spirit of the April 19 popular uprisers in south Korea 54 years ago calls for a massive resistance, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in an article.

It goes on:

The April 19 Popular Uprising demonstrated the resolute will of the south Korean people not to tolerate outsiders' colonial domination and the quislings' fascist dictatorial rule. It also showed that if the south Koreans wage a dynamic struggle, defying death, they can surely defeat any ferocious dictatorial force.

The desire of the uprisers has not yet been realized though half a century has passed since the uprising.

This is entirely attributable to the U.S. invariable strategy to dominate Korea and the treacherous policy of the puppet rulers who have kowtowed to it.

It is none other than the U.S. which put a military gangster on the post of power through a military coup after traitor Syngman Rhee stepped down by the April 19 Popular Uprising and mercilessly trampled down the desire of the people for independence, democracy and reunification through ill-famed fascist dictatorship.

The regime was replaced with others in south Korea several times owing to the U.S. undisguised interference and manipulation, but the criminal history of dependence on foreign forces, fascist dictatorship and ant-reunification has been given a steady continuity.

In order to terminate the U.S. colonial rule in south Korea, realize democracy and accelerate the country's reunification, people from all walks of life should turn out as one in the struggle for independence against the U.S. in the spirit of the April 19 popular uprisers.

The intelligence politics, politics of terror of the bloody "yusin" dictatorship is being revived in south Korea.

The political situation in south Korea is reminiscent of the eve of the April 19 Popular Uprising when the flames of democracy against dictatorship flared up.

Treacherous rulers forsaken by the people are bound to meet a miserable ruin. This is the lesson taught by the April 19 Popular Uprising.
