Recently such touch-and-go tension that any accidental incident may break a nuclear war is prevailing on the Korean peninsula and northeast Asia region.The US recently staged the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint war exercises resembling the whole operation of a war from March 9~20 despite the strong condemnation at home and abroad by mobilizing 26,000 U.S. imperialist aggression troops present in south Korea and overseas and hundreds of thousands of south Korean puppet army troops, nuclear-powered carriers and submarines and other maritime mobile strike forces to bring the regional situation to the brink of a war.

On the eve of these exercises, the test war exercises for mounting surprise preemptive attacks on the DPRK, the US imperialists have massively deployed B-52Hs, B-2As, F-22As and other sophisticated war equipments to south Korea and Japan and the regions around them to further strain the military confrontation.

In support of the confrontational policy and aggressive war moves of the US imperialists against the DPRK the pro-US conservative forces of south Korea are running amuck with red-blood eyes on confrontation against the DPRK.

The conservative forces of south Korean authorities who came to power at the beginning of the last year have revived the former fascist dictatorial regimes in south Korea and bloodily override the progressive youth and students and people in their movement for social democracy in south Korea, clamoring that they would get back the “lost 10 years”.

The south headquarters of National Association of Youth and Students for Country’s Reunification, south headquarters of National Alliance for Country’s Reunification, General Association of Students in South Korea and other patriotic organizations for national reunification are the main victims of the fascist policy of south Korean authorities.

The Lee Myung Bak group has been crazy on making a fuss against the DPRK under the cloak of “no-nuke, opening and 3000 dollars” and totally nullified the June 15 joint declaration and October 4 declaration of the north and south.

He also put a check-bar down on the north-south reconciliation, cooperation and reunification, running about on the aggressive war exercises against DPRK in conspiracy with the outside forces.

The Lee group whitewashed all the agreements between the north and south and released all the legal and institutional mechanisms for preventing war on the Korean peninsula.

The Japanese ultra-right conservative forces’ moves for nuclear-armed military power also make the regional situation more dangerous.

Under these circumstances the US and Japanese imperialists as well as the south Korean warmongers are going to bring up the DPRK’s   satellite-launch for peaceful purposes related with the DPRK’s sovereignty on the UN Security Council, misleading the international opinion that the program is a test for launching a missile.

Expressing deep concern on the extreme tension prevailing on the Korean peninsula, the World Federation of Democratic Youth strongly claims that the armed forces and military bases of US army must be immediately withdrawn from south Korea to ensure stable peace and security in northeast Asia region. It also vehemently condemns the daily-increasing maneuvers of Japanese imperialists for military power which is already reached over dangerous line.

WFDY confirms that the June 15 joint declaration and October 4 declaration agreed upon between north and south Korea for peace and reunification on the Korean peninsula should be thoroughly implemented, strongly blaming the pro-US and conservative, anti-reunification and confrontational policy of south Korean authorities against DPRK.

Accusing that the badly intended campaign of the US and its followers to intercept the launch of the DPRK’s experimental communications satellite for peaceful purposes as a violent abuse on the legitimate right of a sovereign state, WFDY strongly requests them to stop at once the aggression and intervention against the DPRK.

WFDY calls upon the world progressive peoples and youth to send firm solidarity to the Korean people and youth in their just struggle to defend the national sovereignty and dignity and eliminate the root cause of a war in the Korean peninsula as well as to achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country; to support them in the joint struggle to defeat the aggressive war moves of the US and its followers who are trying to break the world peace and security.
