Things keep getting better in the north

This is just out of Asiapress site recently.
Look at the officer in the picture below. it's dated back to 2013 so a bit old now but look at how malnourished he is.
This is an officer too. not a private or corporal.

Anyway, the article is about the high price of gasoline and how the army is reduced to using oxes and charcoal driven trucks.

Here is what a wood gas (charcoal driven) truck looks like.

notice the drum like thing at the back on the left of the truck

Oil smuggling has supplemented the oil gap but the economy is still feeling the pinch.
