The Association for the Study of Songun Politics UK, Juche Idea Study Group of England and UK Korea Friendship Association issued the following joint statement commenting on the 67th anniversary since US troops landed in south Korea and occupied it.
On the 8th of September US troops landed in south Korea. Korea had already been liberated on the 15th of August by the partisan troops of the Korean People's Revolutionary Army commanded by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung. The Korean people were out to build a new life but in south Korea the US troops ruined this. Right from the start the US troops committed atrocities against the Korean people . One of their first actions was to suppress the people's committees that had been set up by the people in south Korea. They brutally suppressed the communist and progressive forces in south Korea killing many people . The US troops drenched Jeju Island in blood when the people there rose up. It is the US that created various fascist dictatorships in south Korea such as the Park Chung Hee fascist regime( a prototype for pro imperialist reactionary fascist dicatorships in the oppressed countries of the third world). It was the US that instigated the Kwangju massacre in 1980.
The US imperialists committed the very serious criminal action of dividing Korea, a homogeneous nation which had existed for more than 5,000 years. Indeed the Korean nation existed long before the US did. The occupation of south Korea by US troops today is the main factor causing Korea's division.
The 67 years of the occupation of south Korea by the US troops have been 67 years of misfortune and crime . They have been 67 years of oppression of the south Korean people by the US troops. The US troops in south Korea enjoy extra-territorial privilieges in south Korea which means in effect that they can act like colonial overlords in south Korea and can commit crimes such a murder, rape, theft and drug dealing with impunity. The south Korean people are forced to pay taxes for the "upkeep" of the US troops and their bases. This is simply a form of colonial tribute .
The presence of US troops in south Korea is strains the situation and threatens peace. As the DPRK Foreign Ministry statement of the 7th of September says the presence of US troops in south Korea is a clear manifestation of the hostile intent of the US towards the DPRK. The US wants to continue to occupy south Korea and even extend its occupation to north Korea in order to have a bridgehead into the Asian continent .
We, the ASSPUK, JISGE and UK KFA ,declare that the time for the withdrawal of US troops is long overdue in fact they should have never go to Korea a country thousands of miles from the US in the first place. Their presence in south Korea is unnecessary always has been and always will be. We
say it is time for the US troops to pack their bags and go home leaving the Korean people free to decided their own affairs and reunify the country.

US TROOPS OUT OF KOREA !
YANKEE GO HOME!
KOREA IS ONE !
