The program did not offer a solution or discuss possible repercussions against North Korea and there was no panel discussion afterwards, get some comments from the Swedish foreign ministry and maybe some aid workers who had left the country, which I missed. It seemed to me the biggest wish the refugees and resistance workers themselves had was to inform the world about the situation in North Korea and have the international community listen to their information. The second feeling I got was that the refugees wanted the international community to realize what kind of regime they are dealing with when they open diplomatic channels to North Korea, which Sweden among others have started doing. But they also understandably seemed to be more concerned about the starving children and teen refugees and family members left in the country than discussing politics and actions against the regime in the snippets of footage we saw of them. Thanks for the interest. Love, Amanda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namaste, Yes our politicians are all cowards and self serving pretenders. It seems General Douglas McCarthur was right in the first place. We should have gone ahead and defeated N Korea and China at the time of the Korean War. However Truman was no Arjuna and evil survives. Om Namah Sivaya.....Tony, speaking relatively of course hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
