In North Korea, during tropical storm Khanun, state media called on the population to protect the portraits of communist dictator Kim Jong-un and his predecessors in the first place.
North Koreans’ “main focus” should be on the “security” of North Korea’s ubiquitous propaganda portraits, statues, mosaics, murals and other monuments to the Kim dynasty, state-run Rodong Sinmun reports.
Depictions and portraits of the communist ruler Kim Jong Un, his father Kim Kong Il and grandfather Kim Il Sung hang in every home and office in North Korea and, in larger than life form, determine the street scene in cities.
Storm raged over North Korea on Thursday
Tropical Storm Khanun made landfall in North Korea on Thursday and is expected to move inland on Friday. “All sectors and entities” in North Korea participated in “a dynamic campaign to confront the catastrophic abnormal climate,” state news agency KCNA reported. “Strong winds, downpours, tidal waves and rough seas” are to be expected.
Natural disasters tend to have a greater impact on North Korea due to its weak infrastructure. Widespread deforestation also makes the country vulnerable to flooding. In the 1990s, famines in North Korea killed hundreds of thousands of people, and millions are estimated to have died.
