KIM JONG UN DEAD

Chinese media assure that the North Korean has already died and Japanese sites, which is in a vegetative state. Now, photos of the exclusive formation that usually transport the dictator came to light.

Deputy director of Hong Kong satellite television HKSTV Shijian Xingzou said the North Korean was already dead. He affirmed this for his 15 million followers on the Chinese social network Weibo, citing "a very solid source", although he did not give further details. The North American media TMZ collected this testimony and published it on its website.

Slightly less drastic, albeit still pessimistic, a report by the weekly Shukan Gendai in Japan reported that the North Korean dictator is in a "vegetative state" after undergoing heart surgery earlier this month. The outlet cited a Chinese doctor sent as part of the team to treat Kim Jong-un after an alleged heart procedure allegedly left the North Korean leader in serious condition. The source quoted by the Japanese media, and also broadcast by the British Daily Mail, stated that Kim Jong-un "was visiting the field when he grabbed his chest and fell to the ground." He also reported that a doctor who was with him at the time performed CPR and accompanied him to the hospital.

Amid these rumors, satellite photos released by Reuters show that a 250-meter-long train belonging to the dictator has been seen near his Wonsan vacation complex last Thursday.

Although Kim's whereabouts remain unknown, the presence of the formation at a nearby train station reserved for the Kim family in the 'elite' area of ​​the East Coast suggests that he or someone in his immediate vicinity has visited the cache. 38North news website reported. The photos, from April 23, show the train preparing to leave.

The Wonsan complex includes nine large guest houses and a recreation center, as well as a shooting range and a covered dock believed to be for a yacht. In the center of the lot is a large building that was built a few years after Kim Jong-un came to power in 2014.

Kim last appeared in public on April 11, when he was seen at a government meeting. Days later he missed the celebrations for the birthday of his grandfather, the late founder of North Korea Kim Il-sung, one of the most important festivities in the country.

The North Korean, whose age is estimated to be 36, has already disappeared from the North Korean media in the past. In 2014 he was not seen for a month and on his reappearance he limped on one leg. Speculation about his health is fueled by the fact that Kim is a heavy smoker, suffers from obesity, and there is a whole history of cardiovascular problems in his family.

The procedure of hiding information about their dictators is usual in North Korea. When Kim Jong-un's father, Kim Jong-Il, suffered a stroke in 2008, the South Korean media reported at the time that Chinese doctors were participating in his treatment along with the French. Kim Jong-Il's official death date was only December 17, 2011, and very few details about his final moments came to light.

Without official information, in the last few hours it was learned that China has sent a team to North Korea that includes medical experts to advise North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

According to the Daily NK newspaper in South Korea, Kim was recovering from a cardiovascular operation to which he was subjected on April 12, according to a North Korean source. On the other hand, South Korean government officials and a Chinese official from the Department of International Contacts denied that Kim was in serious danger, as was speculated. Nor has unusual activity been detected in North Korea, they reported.

United States President Donald Trump said Thursday that reports of Kim's difficult health situation were "incorrect." On Friday, a source in South Korea told Reuters that intelligence reports showed that Kim was alive and that he would show himself publicly soon, though they made no reference to whether an operation had taken place. Meanwhile, a member of the United States intelligence services indicated that although Kim has serious pre-existing health problems, there was no reason to believe that he is currently in serious condition.

When asked about Kim's health, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stayed in line with Trump: "I have nothing I can share with you tonight, but the American people must know that we are observing the situation very closely. "

On Friday, a South Korean source told Reuters that his intelligence indicated that Kim was alive and that he would likely appear soon. And an official familiar with the American intelligence apparatuses said that Kim was known to have health problems but had no reason to conclude that he was seriously ill or could not eventually reappear in public.

North Korea is one of the most isolated and secret countries in the world, and the health of its leaders is treated as a matter of state security. Reuters has not been able to independently confirm any details about Kim's whereabouts or condition.

Historically, North Korean leaders have always preferred rail over air travel. During the Korean War, the founder of the communist country, Kim Il-sung, used a train as headquarters.

Her son and heir Kim Jong-il, who was afraid of flying, also traveled on trips to Russia and China on the olive green train. In 2011, the same vehicle was last seen in Ulan-Ude, southeast Russia, when the father of the current leader traveled to meet Dmitry Medvedev, then-President of Russia.

Such was the panic of the North Korean dictator that, according to the South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo, in that instance he traveled in a convoy of three trains: the first to check that the tracks were safe, the middle to travel and the third to carry the staff support. In addition, the railroad also carried two armored Mercedes to travel to and from their preferred form of transportation.

According to former Russian diplomat Konstantin Pulikovsky, the 22-wagon train Kim used to travel to Russia in 2011 was packed with luxuries and decorations, including conference rooms, satellite phones, flat-screen TVs, live lobsters, and fine wines from Bordeaux and Burgundy. According to images released at the time by the state broadcaster, the floors of the cars were decorated with bulletproof iron sheets, while the Supreme Leader's office had a wooden upholstery, a desk, a chair, and a sofa. camel color.
