Heres a link to the CNN story about the asylum seekers
just one more thing to add to the ever growing list of North Korean topics. One of the refugees says "We have nothing to eat in North Korea," she said. "Life is very hard. We all want to go to South Korea." The story goes on to mention that in the long run, they will probably end up in South Korea. According to what was discussed in class, we have a country that has nuclear capabilities and now humanitarian issues. When are we (the international community) going to do something about it?

With regards to people moving to South Korea, this brings up the issue, that if unification were to be achieved in the future, would South Korea be inundated with northern refugees? In my intro to Comparative Politics class, we discussed the reunification of Germany the other day, with comments coming up about prevailing sectional differences. Many in the western regions of Germany are disgruntled because so much money is allocated to help the economically struggling eastern regions. It's possible that Korea might experience the same thing, hypothetically.
