North Korea compared President Barack Obama to a
monkey, and blamed him today for internet blackouts as
well as the US release of The Interview film this week, that
depicts an assassination of dictator Kim Jong Un.
“Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a
monkey in a tropical forest,” said an unidentified
spokesman at the National Defence Commission in a
statement reported by the official Korean Central News
Agency.
“If the US persists in American-style arrogant, high-handed
and gangster-like arbitrary practices despite (North
Korea’s) repeated warnings, the US should bear in mind
that its failed political affairs will face inescapable deadly
blows,” the NDC spokesman said.
The country led by Kim Jong Un has denied involvement in
a cyberattack on Sony Pictures, after the controversial film
was screened yesterday, but has expressed fury over
Obama criticising the company’s decision to pull the movie
amid threats of terror made against cinemas.
North Korea has described the movie as illegal, dishonest
and reactionary but it is not the first time to have used the
racial slur against the president, as in May the country’s
news agency published a statement saying Obama has “the
shape of a monkey”.
Earlier this year, the North Korea called US Secretary of
State John Kerry a wolf with a “hideous” lantern-jaw and
described South Korean President Park Geun-hye as a
prostitute.
The defense commission also accused Washington for
intermittent outages of internet in North Korea this week,
which happened after the US had promised to respond to
the Sony hack. The US government has refused to answer
whether it was behind the shutdown.
According to the North Korean commission’s spokesman,
“the US, a big country, started disturbing the Internet
operation of major media of the DPRK, not knowing shame
like children playing a tag.” DPRK refers to the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea, the country’s official name.
The commission said the movie was the result of a hostile
US policy toward North Korea and threatened the US with
unspecified consequences.
The two countries are technically in a state of war because
the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a
peace treaty.
The rivals also are locked in an international standoff over
the North’s nuclear and missile programs and its alleged
abuses of human rights. The US stations about 28,500
troops in South Korea as deterrence against attacks made
by the North. CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
