North Korea mobilizes tens of thousands for anti-US rallies Greek conservatives win election dramatically

North Korea has mobilized tens of thousands in mass rallies against the United States to mark the 73rd anniversary of the start of the Korean War.

More than 120,000 workers and youth, including students, attended Sunday’s events at various locations in the capital Pyongyang, the authoritarian country’s state-controlled media reported Monday.

The Korean War began on June 25, 1950 when North Korean troops invaded South Korea. South Korea was then supported by United Nations troops led by the United States. The fighting ended three years later with a ceasefire agreement. The Korean Peninsula is still at war under international law, as no peace treaty has been signed to date.

Speakers at Sunday’s events in Pyongyang reportedly stressed that North Koreans would never forget June 25, 1950. Their “wounds of resentment” could never heal. The US was accused of provoking the war. “The participants marched and shouted slogans to crush the US imperialists and the band of traitors.” Photos showed participants raising their fists in protest at a rally in a large stadium.

Such mass rallies are not uncommon in North Korea to demonstrate popular support for the communist government’s policies. (sda/dpa)
