ridiculous Samjiyeon deadline by Kim is stressing everyone out

these reports are from Rimjingang / AsiaPress.

they also do a great job of keeping the world informed about the goings on in North Korea.

they have posted quite a bit about the Samjiyeon tourist economic zone

fortune tellers and drug users shamed at a public rally

this is a report from rimjingang (asiapress). their updates are slow but they are a good source for goings on inside North Korea also.
Rimjingang is another excellent source for North Korea.

i feel bad for these people who were singled out.
the fortune tellers are really doing nothing wrong and the drug users need help instead of a labor camp.

anyway here is the story

Firewood ban means a cold winter for the average North Korean

this report from the DailyNK states that because of Kim Jong-Un's reforestation program, there is a ban on selling firewood which means those that rely on it to keep warm this coming winter will have a hard time.

the reforestation is good and necessary however as usual no contigency for the little guy.

here's another report from DailyNK about the fisherman risking their lives because of fishing quotas set by the government.

so the regime sells fishing rights to the Chinese with their big trawlers while the little guy is forced further out to sea in unseaworthy craft.

the sanctions are still hurting the regime and everyone is being pushed to generate revenue for the government.

the Samjiyeon tourist railway project is another example of how they are getting stressed.
