APPEAL OF AINDF NATIONAL REUNIFICATION COMMITTEE AGAINST FOAL EAGLE
Appeal of the National Reunification Committee of
the C.C of the AINDF
The US and south Korean warmongers planned to stage again the joint military exercises codenamed “Key Resolve” and “Foal Eagle” aimed at the invasion of north Korea from March 8 to 18 throughout south Korea despite the unanimous opposition of all the Korean people and the world peace-loving people desirous of a lasting peace and security of the Korean Peninsula and Korea’s reunification.
Participating in these aggressive war drills are 10 000 US troops stationed in south Korea and 8 000-strong reinforcements from the US overseas military bases, totaling 18 000, and a huge number of the south Korean puppet army.
As an undeniable evidence to the hostile policy toward the DPRK and the inter-Korean confrontational policy pursued by the US and the south Korean regime, the upcoming drills will drive the already aggravated inter-Korean relations to a catastrophe and further exacerbate the showdown and tension on the Korean Peninsula posing a sever threat to peace and security of not only the north East Asian region but also the rest of the world.
As these drills are to be conducted at the time when the DPRK offered an important proposal to conclude a peace treaty for establishing a durable peace mechanism in the Korean Peninsula this year that marks the 60th year of breakout of the Korean war, and exerts sincere efforts to realize it and actively strives to improve the inter-Korean relations, their dangerousness and consequences are rendered more grave.
The reality clearly shows that the US and south Korean war maniacs don’t want peace of the Korean Peninsula nor the improved inter-Korean relations, and what they pursue is only confrontation and war.
They should stop at once the provocative “Key Resolve” and “Foal Eagle” war drills and abandon the arms buildup, mindful of the catastrophic consequences to be entailed by their reckless war provocation moves.
The US is well advised to daringly discard its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK and come out to the negotiating table to conclude a peace treaty aimed at replacing the cease-fire of the Korean Peninsula with a lasting peace mechanism.
The south Korean war fanatics should not take part in the confrontational moves against the compatriots and aggressive war provocations in collusion with the foreign forces, but take a resolute measure to improve the inter-Korean relations in accordance with the trend of the times and the desire of the fellow countrymen.
Now the south Korean people from different social segments denounce the projected war drills as overt provocation to all the compatriots and world peace-loving people desirous of peace, and never-to-be-pardoned challenge which would bring about a nuclear war to the Korean Peninsula , and vigorously wage the struggle against the US and war and for defending peace.
We avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our expectation and belief that your organization which always pays deep attention to the peace of the Korean Peninsula and renders firm support to the reunification cause of the Korean people, would conduct solidarity actions in condemnation of the war moves to invade the DPRK by the US imperialist and south Korean warmongers.
Those actions may include publishing denunciation statement and sending protest message to the White House and the south Korean presidential office, etc.
With comradely regards,
National Reunification Committee of
the C.C of the AINDF
