Braced For A Kim Jong Unleashed

Wave of violence predicted as tyrant returns

- Chris Hughes

North Korea is braced for a violent backlash from Kim Jong-un after the tyrant made a dramatic comeback from his mysterious absence.

The despot is likely to order a “wave of public executions” and fresh nuclear threats against the West to re-establish credibility after being off grid for weeks.

Insiders believe the dynastic Supreme Leader of the world’s most secretive country fled the Covid-19 outbreak sweeping his country – or was taken ill.

Kim, 36, was even rumoured to have died of heart issues after he last appeared in public on April 11.

But he has now appeared in public for the first time in nearly three weeks, according to the country’s state media.

KCNA news agency reported the despot cutting the ribbon at the opening of a fertiliser factory on Friday.

It added people “broke into thunderous cheers of hurrah” when he appeared, with his younger sister Kim Yo-jong, 32, alongside him.

South Korean intelligence – usually the most reliable source on Pyongyangrelated rumours – had earlier confirmed he was alive and well.
