The Telegraph has news from Pyongyang:
The North Korean capital has been placed under lockdown, according to sources with Pyongyang, raising new questions about the stability of Kim Jong-un’s regime.
Quoting sources within North Korea, the respected New Focus International news web site has reported that a ban on new travel passes to leave or enter Pyongyang was introduced on September 27.
The Gateway Pundit thinks there’s been a coup. I don’t know.
We do know that Kim Jong-Un, the third in the line of Kim dictators, had less of a grip on the levers of power than his father did when Kim Il-Sung died. Even absolute dictators need a base of power within their country to maintain their position.
Might it be possible some elements of the government wish to drag North Korea into the 20th century? One wonders if China has been quietly working to undermine the regime?
