Pyongyang : A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has denounced military attacks by the United States on Libya.
Responding to a question from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), he said: “The US launched a military attack on Libya in collusion with some Western countries on March 19.
“It openly interfered in the internal affairs of Libya, sparking off a civil war, and then cooked up a deceptive resolution by abusing the authority of the United Nations Security Council. It finally perpetrated indiscriminate armed intervention in the country, going beyond the limits of the resolution.
“The DPRK strongly denounces this as a wanton violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of an independent state and a hideous crime against humanity in gross breach of the dignity of the Libyan people and their right to existence.
“The world is witnessing almost everyday the miserable death of a great many peaceable citizens and unspeakable disasters caused by two wars launched by the U.S. in the new century.
“Not content with this, the U.S. sparked a fresh war disaster in order to bring about a regime change in the country incurring its displeasure under the spurious signboard of “protecting civilians” and put the natural resources of Libya under its control.
“The present Libyan crisis teaches the international community a serious lesson.
It was fully exposed before the world that “Libya’s nuclear dismantlement” much touted by the U.S. in the past turned out to be a mode of aggression whereby the latter coaxed the former with such sweet words as “guarantee of security” and “improvement of relations” to disarm itself and then swallowed it up by force.
