North
Korea is one of the few countries with no confirmed cases. Many in the world
are surprised how Kim Jong-un controls the pandemic when developed countries
even struggle to handle it.
As per Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North
Korean leader Kim has sacked several senior aides for neglecting
coronavirus precautions that causes a great crisis in the country. Means North
Korea has just pretended to show “Zero cases” to the world but it has not
happened in reality. Pyongyang closed its borders in January 2020 to defend
itself against the Covid-19 pandemic that first emerged in neighboring China.North
Korea has a population of around 25 million. Korean Central News Agency
(KCNA)has never reported on the country's coronavirus situation to the world
till now. Why is KCNA doing so to the world now? It seems that Kim Jong-un
intentionally sends signals to the world that North Korea is in a grave
situation because of covid-19. He indirectly requested world nations for aid
and help by leaking the sacked news to KCNA. North Korea closed its borders and
stopped international flights and international aid that followed Pyongyang to
tell the world that North Korea is coronavirus-free. Officials tested nearly
30K people on June 14th and announced that North Korea has no
cases.What forced Kim to fire top
officials in the name of failure of coronavirus. It is clear that North Korea
showed fake numbers on coronavirus to the world as per the directions of Kim.
Now, this has reversed and the situation seems to be out of control in the
country. North Korea doesn’t have the infrastructure or resources to protect
people from pandemic. Kim has predicted a huge crisis in the country and used
KCNA to present the ground reality before the world. Earlier, Kim had warned
his people to prepare for the "worst-ever situation'' in the food crisis.
Reportedly, Kim called politburo members and scolded them for their
incompetence in handling the pandemic and made them as scapegoats.
