Aid workers endure all kinds of dangerous conditions, but it’s the rare country that will accuse you of “bringing down the foundation of its single minded unity.”
Reclusive North Korea has been in the headlines a lot recently. On Sunday, the country defied world leaders by launching a long-range rocket — an act widely regarded as an intercontinental missile test. And just over two weeks ago North Korea’s state-run media announced that the country had arrested 21-year-old American university student Otto Frederick Warmbier, accusing him of committing a “hostile act” against the state.
The media report went on to allege Warmbier entered North Korea “under the guise of a tourist for the purpose of bringing down the foundation of its single minded unity at the tacit connivance of the U.S. government and under its manipulation.”
