Rodong Sinmun Calls for Turning out in Movement for Korea's reunification
Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- It is very natural for all Koreans in the north and the south and abroad to turn out as one in the struggle to open up a broad avenue to independent reunification in this significant year and it is a bounden duty of every member of the Korean nation to do so, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in an article.

It goes on:

Flunkeyism and dependence on outside forces lead to national ruin as they do harm to the interests of the Koreans, and independence and unity are the only way out for the nation.

It is an unbearable shame to look up to foreign forces and depend on them in view of self-esteem of the resourceful and talented Koreans who created time-honored history and brilliant culture.

It is necessary to solve the issue of the nation's destiny and the matter of the inter-Korean relations by the will and efforts of the compatriots, not joining hands with aggressor outside forces.

If the north and the south resolutely counter the unreasonable interference and moves for aggression of outside forces alienating the Korean nation, fanning up confrontation and blocking up the road of reunification, they can certainly bring about an epochal phase for mending the inter-Korean relations.

If the south Korean authorities deny the idea of By Our Nation Itself and persistently cooperate with outside forces and follow them, they will face inescapable curse and denunciation for their unpardonable acts of laying a stumbling block in the way of the nation's unity and reunification.

The Koreans' aspiration and will for national reunification are growing stronger day by day. It is the necessity of history for the pro-reunification patriotic forces to emerge victorious by courageously meeting the challenge of the anti-reunification forces.
