      Ok, but… you see… one of the two stories is more plausible than the other and one of the two storytellers has a reputation of being a decent source.

      Everybody should spend at least a couple hours reading/watching stories and testimonies from DPRK defectors. It’s very instructive, but a part inside you will die.

        No the BBC does not constitute a decent source, and also testimonies of DPRK defectors are most often lies due to these testimonies being their only lifeline. DPRK defectors are historically treated very poorly by the southern government and are often under constant police surveilance.

        Check out this documentary: Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul

        By the way, secret interviews from the DPRK, is something RFA likes to do and they are wildly known for the bullshitting campaigns and portrayals of cartoonish evil so any ammount of such “journalism” ought to be heavily criticised.

    And which country(s) have imposed sanctions that are keeping the people from receiving food from trade? The area is known to be difficult to farm adequate food in. Countries should be supporting these people by sending food, not withholding food and other goods via sanctions.

    You can’t hurt a people/country willfully, then point to the damage and say that the country is at fault. Food inadequacy is artificially imposed, it is not the fault of the people of that country.
