A United States fact-finding team departed for North Korea with some of its members helping over a week for detailed inspection of the food conditions according to the official. The team is expected to stay in North Korea for about eight days to research their food shortages in regions starting outside from Pyongang. After their examination, the United States is expected to share their information with South Korea. The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry stated that the exact amount of the food must be estimated in order to provide North Korea a guaranteed food distribution. Soon, the U.S. delegation is likely to meet with Pyongang officials to discuss the issue of monitoring the North's food distribution process.
I believe that the United States support in providing food aid is very efficient to the North Koreans; however, North Korea will not be helpful with their nuclear program talks regardless of how many times they get supports from other countries.

North Korea leader visits industrial complex in China
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110523001003
North Korean leader, Kim Jong il visited an economic development zone and a discount store in the eastern city of Yangzhou on Monday, which it is a trip for North Korea to study China's economic reform. Kim had a dinner with former Chinese president Jiang Zemin and the meeting may show the effort of extending Kim family's dynasty into a third generation; Kim il Sung, Kim Jong il, and Kim eun Jung. I believe that this meeting was a very essential talk between two countries, because, this shows how North Korea is planning to progress their economy as they get assists from China and they are trying to maintain the Kim family's regime. North Korea realizes how poor their economic growth is which since 1992, there was no progress in North Korea's GDP rate.

North Korea's nuclear program.
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/northkorea/nuclear_program/index.html%20scp=3&sq=North%20Korea&st=cse
In October 2006, North Korea became the world's eighth atomic power, conducting an underground nuclear weapons test. Although the country's nuclear program and its development of its systems has outraged world opinion, it is still not clear whether the country holds the ability to deliver a working nuclear weapon. The dictatorship's dream of a nuclear arsenal dates back half a century, the years just after the Korean War. Kim Il-sung, North Korea's founder, was aware that General Douglas MacArthur had requested nuclear weapons to use against his country during the conflict, and showed that he pressed his cold war allies,first Russia, then China for nuclear technology. But it took decades to put together the equipment, and it appears that only recently did the North make a political decision to speed forward.
I believe that North's nuclear weapon must be eliminated in order to develop as a country through having a communication with other major countries like United States.

North Korean Prison Camps Massive and Growing
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/05/world/asia/05korea.html?scp=4&sq=North%20Korea&st=cse
New satelite images and firsthand accounts from former prisoners and jailers in North have confirmed its huge scale and poor conditions of the secretive system based on the report released by the human rights group Amnesty International. North Korea states that they were frequently tortured and were forced to watch the executions of their fellow prisoners: however, the network of prisons is estimated as 200,000 inmates. Interestingly, the authorities have denied to admit the existence of its massive political prison camps.
I believe that this shows how there are lots of political prisoners wanting to escape its horrible government, mostly worked under the Kim's power, which they can possibly be people who are against the communism.
Also, by hiding its existence of the massive prison, they are also hiding how politicaly corrupted they are, which can affect their citizen's mind by proving this massive camps.

Rights body urges North Korea defectors to report abuse
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110512000780
The state human rights cheif in South Korea sent a letter to some 1500 North Korean defectors, which urged them to report cases of human rights abuse that they had to suffer or witnessed in their country. Hyun Byung chul of the National Human Rights commission also states the regret over the lack if systematic measures to appeal their egony and frustration at their poor human rights conditions. Interestingly, the letter was also ment to inform North Korean defectors that the watchdog opened a center to register a few recorded cases of North Korea's humanr rights violation.
I believe that the institutions are planned to improve the human rights after receiving reports of human rights violation under its dictatorial North Korean regime, which overall they are working to raise up the value of North Korean's human rights.

North Korea human rights training
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110511000890
A training day for people wishing to campaign for North Korea human rights will be held soon. The justice for North Korea volunterr orientation program is planning to launch a Korean language workshop in South Korea, seoul. The orientation will be running from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will have to pay 20,000 won( $20). I believe that this will somehow assist South Korean's mind to pity North Korean citizens but not hate him as a people from same continent. Also, people attending this campaign will be able to understand their thoughts and what situation North Koreans are in.

Lee says North's nukes an obstacle to unification
http://www.koreaherald.com/national/Detail.jsp?newsMLId=20110509000474
South Korea's president, Lee Myung Bak said sunday that Korea must seek unification with North Korea at any time and he stresses the need to end Pyonyang's nuclear programs. He states that any sacrifice will bring unification as to boost the Korean people, which eliminating the nuclear system will allows the Koreans to interact with eachother. "The existence of nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula would delay unification. If we are unified with nuclear weapons in possession, neighboring countries won't easily accept it," Lee said.
I believe that the president Lee has stated a false opinion. It will take Koreans to be one another in about 50 years, because no one talks about any sort of unification among South Korean citizens that seriously and no one does any physical protest like the remark in Berlin.
