Reuters Military coup in Myanmar and economic crisis in North Korea
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister Kim Yo Jong has been assigned a new title and removed from the country’s highest decision-making body, but after she called out South Korea in an insult-laden tirade this week, experts said her relative power remains intact in the dynastic regime.
State media reported a series of promotions, demotions and reassignments that happened over the weekend during a rare congress of the ruling Korean Workers’ Party, and Kim was left out of the party’s Politburo and assigned a lower rank.
Reuters Military coup in Myanmar and economic crisis in North Korea
Leader Kim Jong Un branded the United States North Korea’s “biggest enemy” to be met with increased military capabilities in remarks at a ruling party congress that experts said reveal that he faces the same limited pathways out of his country’s poverty and isolation that his father did twenty years ago.
North Korea’s economy lies in shambles between the double pinch of international nuclear sanctions and the closure of the border with China due to the coronavirus combined with a summer of natural disasters that ravaged cropland, while Pyongyang has shunned a South Korean government that would eagerly help once progress is made on the nagging nuclear dispute.
THE RELEASE:
On Monday 14th December 2020 at 18:15 hrs, I was released from the restriction I had been placed under for 5 days by the Congolese Security Services.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
I wish to sincerely thank all those who played a role in my release. Special mention goes to the two governments of DRC and Zambia. My wife Florence and my entire family. The Church for the unceasing prayer support, The Leadership of the MMD, International human rights organizations.
I also wish to acknowledge the Zambian media for showing solidarity with me. I am also aware of two presidents one from SADC region and the other from East Africa who put in their word to have me released. More so, to the countless Zambians who prayed for me and made their own attempts to help me during my time of distress.

The South Dakota Corn Grower’s Association and Corn Utilization Council at their annual meeting this week were presented with the South Dakota Excellence in Cooperative Conservation Award. NRCS State Conservationist Jeff Zimprich presented the honor to the associations. South Dakota Corn’s Executive Director Lisa Richardson says one of the major issues they’ve worked with NRCS on is soil health.
She says Corn grower members have been sequestering carbon in their soil in order to benefit the environment.
Richardson says corn growers have also partnered with NRCS and Pheasants Forever to address salinity issues in the state.
