Foreigners remain in Pyongyang as residents are prepared for war


National flags outside embassy buildings continued to fly in the capital even as people there expect conflict.

 

Pyongyang resident Ri Sun Hak, said:

 

"Now the situation on the Korean peninsula

is touch and go and on the brink of war. The Korean Asia Pacific Peace Committee released a statement saying that all the foreigners in South Korea should evacuate to safety and I think this is a generous and humanitarian step."

 

 

His compatriot, Tong Chun Kwang added:

 

"If all-out war breaks out, the whole of South Korea will be turned into a sea of fire. Frankly, bombs don't have eyes and don't kill only the bad guys."

 

For now life seems to be continuing as normal in Pyongyang, but it remains to be seen if this is all a storm in a teacup, or the calm before the storm.
