North Korean Kim Jeong Il died of 'over-work'

The North Korean state television announced that the reclusive dictator Kim Jeong Il died on Saturday.

The video from the North shows its citizens mourn for the dictator. When Kim Il Sung died, the nation has kept its secrecy for a year before making any moves internationally. Although the situation is not in any way predictable, the neighboring nations try to maintain peace and stability of the region.

The impoverished North has been under sanctions since the nation tested nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles. The brinksmanship of the North, has originally had nurtured and rewarded in the Clinton administration when the negotiation to stop nuclear development ended in awarding them with light nuclear plants a program called KEDO.

The nuclear development which launched in his predecessor Kim Il Sung, however, has not been any way deterred by the aids. The North tested its first nuclear weapons in 2006. The Bush administration pressed on the nations to put pressure to stop testing and focused the attention to the welfare of its citizens.

Kim Jeong Il probably has shown us one of the worst sort of leadership. He tried to keep its citizens from the influences from outside by put those who are watching South Korean dramas in concentration camp where reportedly 200,000 its citizens are kept, some of them for life. The aid goods have been sold in underground market and fell into the hands of the military.

The appointed successor Kim Jong-un is not yet known to have shown his capability to rule. The neighboring nations expressed the wishes for smooth transitions and no-disruption to their economies. The pathways of the soft-landing of the Stalinist nation, however, is not yet clear.
