London 26th of October 2013
The UK Korean Friendship Association today issued a statement denouncing the ongoing Hoguk military exercise by the south Korean puppet military and a number of US imperialist aggressor troops.
UK KFA and all peace-loving peoples are deeply concerned and apprehensive about the holding of the Hoguk exercise because the Hoguk exercise in 2010 provoked the Yongphyong island incident.The Hoguk exercisefollows on from Ulji Freedom Guardian 2 months ago. The DPRK had takenimportant measures for peace such as re-opening the Kaesong Industrial Zoneand also showing considerable restraint in the face of intensified provocations bythe US and south Korea. However the south Korean puppets and their USoverlords obviously like the idea of a state of tension on the Korean peninsula and work overtime to create tension .
These exercises are being held at a time when the US and southhave concluded a pact to mount a pre-emptive nuclear attack on the DPRK under the guise of so-called "tailored deterrence "

Any provocations could spark a military clash which would quickly turn into a second Korean war and then a world war. The demand of the times is for the relaxation of tension, peace and reunification but the Hoguk exercises of the south Korean authorities and US imperialists go totally against this. The previous regime in south Korea had agreed under the auspices of the October 4th declaration to make the West Sea of Korea , a zone of peace and co-operation but instead the south Korean puppet regimes of Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye have turned the West Sea into a zone of confrontation by holding exercises such as Hoguk as well screaming for the "defence" of the illusory "northern limit line " which no one recognises.


We, the UK Korean Friendship Association, demand that Hoguk is halted at once and that the south Korean fascist puppets and US imperialists cease their provocations against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
