Misbar’s Analysis
North Korea announced Tuesday 6/9/2020 that it was stopping all communications with South Korea. Some analysts think the North Koreans are trying to create a crisis and force South Korea to concede.
The communications breakdown was even more important because Kim Yo Jong the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who has risen in prominence in recent weeks, is partially responsible for it.
North Korea said it was cutting off relations due to the actions of activist defectors who have fled to the South and who send balloons back over the border toting propaganda.
Some pundits think the real reason for all this is that North Korea wants to gain leverage in inter-Korean negotiations.
In summary, North Korea announced Tuesday 6/9 that it was cancelling all communications with South Korea.
