The DPRK is one of the most backward countries in the world, and the coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated the economic problems of the harshest dictatorship. High-ranking members of the Communist Labor Party are already suffering from a lack of food. And the weight of the head of the totalitarian state, Kim Jong-un, is declining.
Photos from Friday’s communist congress were released to the public, in which the dictator is again much thinner. In addition, he had an absent expression on his face, as if he were about to faint at any moment. Portal Lokmat he pointed out that it was not necessarily hungry.
Already in June, when perhaps for the first time since he took over the leadership of the DPRK, clothes fluttered, there was talk of a serious illness. Nobody knows what he should suffer from, but it is a topic for the whole country. The North Koreans wonder what is happening to their dictator.
If the rumors about Kim’s poor health are true, according to foreign observers, preparations for taking power may already be taking place behind the scenes. “If he died suddenly, it could be a problem for the world,” said South Korean political scientist Vipin Narang. The hot adept at the new dictator is his younger sister Kim Jo-chong.
She has been his right hand for several years and is in charge of, for example, the executions of opponents of the regime. She has had experience managing the country since last spring, when her brother withdrew for a few weeks due to alleged heart surgery.
