North Koreans skeptical of better future, unification

The increase in inter-Korea cooperation and exchange has not raised hopes among ordinary North Koreans their lives will improve, even in the event of national unification.


A North Korean source in Pyongyang told Daily NK on Thursday North Koreans remain skeptical of their future despite months of inter-Korea reconciliation, cooperation and exchange.

"People in the area say they will continue to live poorly even in the case of unification," the source said. "[Authorities] say upon unification the people will eat and live well, but the people have been deceived so often they no longer believe what is said."

But the source also said North Koreans desire unification.
