Reports from North Korea make it clear that the sister of dictator Kim Jong-un will apparently receive more power. This decision is apparently related to the fact that Kim suspects that the state of the military is not as perfect as he is always portrayed, For this reason, his sister will now apparently take a controlling role.
At the moment, confusion is said to reign in North Korean military circles. That’s because by all accounts, dictator Kim Jong-un has now granted his sister Kim Yo-jong greater powers over the country’s military. Recently, dictator Kim has reportedly been receiving conflicting reports related to the state of the armed forces. He has also received reports of dubious dealings. Is his sister now expected to crack down? As early as November 11, Kim is said to have given his sister permission to inspect the military. Only a few days earlier, the dictator had spoken with other members of the Central Committee about the state of the armed forces. He reportedly heard that many soldiers had been sent home because of malnutrition and illness. There was also talk of a large number of soldiers deserting. One possible reason for this, he said, was that leading military officers were putting aside funds for their own wealth accumulation.
Should Kim’s sister expose corruption?
Apparently, brigade, battalion and company commanders are said to be stealing supplies and falsifying stocks on the books. In addition, two experts are said to have provided the dictator with different reports on the state of the armed forces. While one of them believes that one can easily take South Korea with one’s own forces, another expert claims that one is not ready to fight at all because of shortages in supplies. Now the dictator wants to make himself with the new powers for his sister probably a better confused situation. So it will be interesting to see if heads will literally roll among the military after the inspection of Kim Yo-jong, who is known to be cruel.
