In Seoul this week — sensation for sensation: at first there through the press, and then announced the flight to the South is quite notable, though not yet named members of the elite of the DPRK. And of its various layers: the bizarre routes, but in the same direction with the socialist homeland took off one of the higher ranks of military intelligence, a senior diplomat and a Komsomol girl from North Korean families enjoying the confidence of the party and security services.
The main prey of the Seoul puppet was, of course, the heavyweight of the Main intelligence Directorate of the Korean people’s army in the rank of Colonel. Reportedly, he ran again last year and, apparently, up to the present time neatly-presented Korean comrades a considerable array of information available to it. To tell him, no doubt, there is something – this man, allegedly, was the main coordinator of all covert operations against the North of Seoul.
By the way, the rank of Colonel should not mislead in Pyongyang exploration of stars on shoulder straps give a much more sparingly than in the army. So the Colonel in this case is believed to Japanese experts, corresponds approximately to Lieutenant conventional armed forces.
Main intelligence Agency, military intelligence, was established in 2009 by merging six separate intelligence agencies working in different areas – personnel, sabotage, etc., as well as a very strong team of computer hackers designed to steal information over networks and the Internet to take control of key facilities in the South and in other countries. By the way, military intelligence is accused of the organization in 2010 torpedo attack on a South Korean frigate, which killed 46 sailors. Pyongyang says that has no relation to this action. But back to the defectors.
In the last year from one African country, as reported in Seoul, disappeared and then surfaced on the capitalist South, a high-ranking diplomat. Together with his wife and two children. More about him no detail is given.
But it is much more detailed and fun was the story of the flight to the South almost at full strength the team of one of North Korean restaurants operating in China – twelve pretty girls under the age of 30 years and one peasant, who led this point of catering. To receive the currency Pyongyang in recent years has created a similar institution abroad – mostly in China. To go there as a waitress, singer or dancer is considered to be a prestigious and profitable. The trip usually lasts three years and gives the opportunity to earn good money by North Korean standards. On it take, generally speaking foreign languages attractive students, who undergo strict vetting. Abroad, as reported to them is strictly monitored and supervised during the city does not release.
However, twelve lovely maidens and the man managed to escape from the castle and proceeded to South Korea tortuous route through Laos and Vietnam. Girls, apparently, difficult – Pyongyang even allowed the incident to Express displeasure with China. Received the official response: the representative of the Chinese foreign Ministry said that Seoul had moved in the company were legal passport. And they supposedly could travel wherever you want.
This was another sign of the growing alienation between the two allied countries, since Beijing is not like that North Korea continues nuclear tests and ballistic missiles, despite requests from Beijing to get serious and stop these dangerous pranks. However, North Korea now decided to back out and announced that the girls from the restaurant and their leader had been abducted by the intelligence of southerners. Pyongyang demands return of staff catering ago, threatening otherwise dire penalties, and in Seoul and Tokyo speculated on what caused the current loud shoots from the North. Point of view can be heard is the opposite: some claim that this was the result of increased repression of Pyongyang under current hotheaded young leader Kim Jong Yne, swift reprisals and executions.
Others, however, believe that an escape from socialist prosperity is a sign of the growing decay of the North Korean regime, the fall of discipline and faith in the happy future of the country of Juche. Well, the liberal press in Seoul meanwhile, defied the South Korean authorities, which, according to the opposition, specially timed current winning message on successful export of military intelligence and Ambassador to the General election to the Parliament, to bring to the ruling party the voice of conservative voters.
