North Korea warns of another “Arduous March”

Hard life in the country - North Korea by Eric Lafforgue on 2010-04-30 14:35:36

North Korea has referred to the "Arduous March" in an article published by the Rodong Sinmun on Monday, in a possible warning of worsening conditions that may be facing the country.

The Korean only article titled "Choson's supreme power" comes after a round of enhanced sanctions were imposed on North Korea following its recent nuclear test and satellite launch in early 2016. A new UN resolution imposed as a result of the tests were also referenced briefly in the article.
