North Korea

The fairy tale of liberation against the Japanese, the vision of a prosperous socialist land in which industry would boom and people would thrive did not go quite as planned.

In North Korea,the economic reality is such that more than a fifth of its population is malnourished, 80 percent of the country's factories have fallen into disuse, river and fields are exhausted and energy is scarce enough to light buildings.

More than 3.5 million people have died of starvation since 1994.
Complete indoctrination blinds the people to the fact that the country's economy has been stagnant since the 1970s.

PRAY :
For isolation to stop, establishment of peaceful diplomatic relations between the 2 Koreas.
For its people who have not seen much of the world, to be given the best.
For humility and wisdom for its leaders.
For a breakthrough in NK's relationship with the key nations.
