The Dictator of North Korea, Kim Kong, has been reported dead. The said leader was said to have a heart condition for some time and had to under a heart surgery. It is said that the heart surgery he had recently undergone left him in a “grave” condition. This is a shock to the people of North Korea as their Leader passes away.
However, the authenticity of this information has to be confirmed as this information did not come from a news agency in North Korean but from a news agency in China. A Beijing-backed satellite TV channel reported that the Korean Leader, Kim Jong, is dead. The Deputy director of the Beijing backed satellite Television, who is a very influential person in China and the niece of the Chinese foreign minister, reported that this information was disseminated to her from a ‘very solid source’, therefore the announcement that Kim Jong had passed away.
North Korea on the other hand did not release such news, neither was there any rumor amongst the North Koreans. No media outlet in the western world has received such and there remains no confirmation from North Korea, to certify that their Leader, Kim Jong, is dead.
There also was a viral image circulating on several social media platforms, showing the North Korean Leader, Kim Jong, lying dead in a glass coffin. Thought the image’s authenticity (to know if that wasn’t a made-up image) cannot be determined, the release by the Chinese news agency tends to approve that Leader Kim Jong Un, is dead.
If the Korean Leader, Kim Jong, really is dead, why was this information not released by the North Koreans, but came from China? Is it that, the North Koreans where trying to hide the information that their Leader is dead? If they were, then why? How come china is reporting such with claims that a ‘very solid source’ leaked this information and who is the source? There are many questions that need to be answered and so much to be clarified.
