"MASS STARVATION" AND "FAMINE" MYTHS EXPOSED

FB | 08.01.2010 10:47 | Other Press

Recently KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) announced that as of October 2008 the DPRK population had grown to over 24 million.

This exceeded the growth rate in the population predicted by some experts.In 1996 the DPRK's population stood at 22.1 million so the population has increased by 2 million or 10%.If there had been a famine or mass starvation such an increase would not have been possible-it would have been static or even decreased.Some wild anti-DPRK propagandaists claim that 10% of the DPRK's population died,if this was true that then the population would have decreased by 2 million and not increase by 2 million.So another anti DPRK urban legend is exploded.
