“Establish a Federal State with Pro-NK Force” Hwang Jang Yop

[imText1]President Hwang Jang Yop of the North Korean Democratization Alliance revealed that North Korea has been attempting to establish a federal state on the Korean peninsula with South Korea by creating a pro-N.K. and anti-U.S. force in Seoul rather than invading the South with military strength, which has been the strategy toward S. Korea since 1950s.

In an interview with Free North Korea Broadcasting, President Hwang said on the 5th, “(After liberation) At first, communists thought that liberation could only be achieved through military strength,” and that, “The Korean War resulted from a victory of China’s revolution which led to a confident Kim Il Sung’s embracing of Stalinist and Maoist ideals.”

”However, the war failed and since then strategies of war and strategies from within have remained on par,” said President Hwang and revealed, “But, the Vietcong in Vietnam won. Hence, his mind changed once again and rather than adopting a war tactic, he is using a harassment strategy, by sending people on the inside.”

President Hwang said, “Since then, guerillas have been seizing regions in South Korea focusing on the individual people to create and train special forces in Kangwon Province and Hwanghae province,” and explained, “While attempting to do this, the attack on the Blue House failed and the invasion on South Korea took yet another turn.”

He said, “Now enforcing military strength is intimidating and the aim is to promote pro-N.K and anti-U.S. forces,” and, “As sending special forces directly to underground movements is very costly and protection of security is also problematic, students are being highly trained and infiltrated as workers.”

President Hwang said, “Infiltration of insiders has even been connected to the 386 generation (people who participated in the S. Korean democratization movements in the 1980s and sort of accepted the socialistic ideology) and this has come into effect today where pro-N.K and anti-U.S. forces has relatively matured” and “(When I first came to South Korea) I did not think North Korea could last another 5 years, yet circumstances of S. Korea today have only worsened so as to democratize N. Korea.”

Regarding a solution to North Korea’s issue, President Hwang said, “If time is continuously dragged on, Kim Jong Il may even attach itself to the U.S, and manipulate the U.S. with sweet talk by saying ‘we will forfeit our nukes and we will not invade the South. We will even forgive U.S. investments.’”

He said, “Instead he (Kim Jong Il) will request the removal of U.S. troops and for a conclusion on peace negotiations and request that the issue of North and South unification be solved independently by our nations alone” and “If the U.S. did agree to this proposal, it is possible that the tactics to establish a regime based on friendly North Korea politics and unified government will be successful.”
