  • Chandrachur Singh
    Chandrachur Singh “The opposition - a consortium of nearly two dozen parties - has not been able to rally people around economic distress despite raising it as a prominent election issue. The problem with the opposition is that it is a coming together of parties with divergent views whose only agenda seems to be to dislodge Modi. To the people, that doesn't seem to be a good enough agenda. The fact that the opposition has not projected a face against Modi is also an issue. Rahul Gandhi is slowly emerging as that leader, but in terms of perception, he is still far behind Modi.” 9 hours ago
  • Neelanjan Sircar
    Neelanjan Sircar “A large part of what the BJP [Bharatiya Janata Party] does is thinking about how to centralise all political attribution on Modi. Its campaign promises are pitched as Modi's guarantees. This is the strategy of a party where the leader is a cult figure and the party is the vehicle for the leader. Whether it's economic distress or even issues like violence in Manipur, Modi is not directly sullied. People may blame other leaders of the BJP. In regional elections, as a consequence, BJP might be voted out. But it is not anger against Modi.” 9 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “The idea that we will stop the war before achieving all its objectives is out of the question. We will enter Rafah and we will eliminate the Hamas battalions there - with or without a deal, in order to achieve the total victory.” 9 hours ago
  • Nour Odeh
    Nour Odeh “For a while, there was a lot of cautious optimism up until this morning, and then the prime minister announced he will order an invasion of Rafah with or without a deal - in essence trampling all of these ceasefire talks. This is what the families of the captives had feared. This is what the negotiators feared. Netanyahu's comments came after he held meetings with the most right-wing members of his coalition government, including Itamar Ben-Gvir. It's interesting, every time Blinken comes to the region - catching the tailwind of some optimism - something like this happens, and he ends up going home with nothing to show for all this political momentum.” 9 hours ago
  • Randall Kuhn
    Randall Kuhn “Put simply, the situation in Gaza is it's completely intolerable at this point. We're on the border of famine and for us as a university, we have to reckon with the fact that every university in Gaza has been destroyed. As a professor, I find it repugnant to sit by while Palestinian professors are being killed, while academic buildings are being bombed relentlessly.” 9 hours ago

“His [Kim Jong Un] concluding speech based on profound originality and scientific accuracy is a weapon of change that provided a springboard for an epochal leap in pushing forward with the gigantic process for implementing the programme for rural revolution in the new era.”

“People in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea no longer live in a cocoon with no information from the world outside. The current generation of North Koreans has experienced the freedom of enterprise and choice - however restricted - offered by the jangmadang informal markets. They watch TV dramas from China and South Korea and do not accept the propaganda, however harsh their lives might be. The regime fears the confluence of a more informed, less unconditionally loyal population, with greater hardships. When loyalty is replaced by fear and the general population suffers increasing hardships, he said, the situation becomes unsustainable. Change is bound to come. We just don't know when, or in what form it will happen.”

“The nuclear weapons program, the economy and the stability of the regime are all interconnected. If the nuclear issue doesn't get resolved, the economy doesn't get better, and that opens the possibility of disquiet and confusion in North Korea's society.”

“Kim's [Kim Jong-un] regime has paid more attention to public sentiment than any other government. Official remarks since the pandemic started suggest the government is trying hard to prevent this becoming a social issue. But if the current situation keeps going for a extended period of time, things could turn ugly.”

“For ordinary North Koreans, it's a warning sign. The poorest North Koreans, who are the ones who have less access to the won, could see their standard of living deteriorate compared to those who can more freely access the currency.”

“We must maintain the ideology-first policy to boldly break through the difficulties and to open up a new era of upheaval in socialism... Regarding the emergence of non-socialist practices as something inevitable and keeping a blind eye on the weakening socialist lifestyles and values is similar to dozing off in front of the enemy's gun and ruining the path to socialist construction.”

“Many people watch South Korean drama, and more people also witness how much China has changed since its reform and opening. The younger generation came to recognize that North Korea is economically weak. They know about the people who fled to South Korea, and they know that those defectors are better off than they are. Though they can't risk their lives to stand up against the regime, they know that they only get hunger in return for loyalty to Kim Jong-un.”

“Just like South Korea, there is generation gap in North Korea. If the Korean War is the landmark in South Korea that divides the generation who experienced the war from those born after it, North Koreans regard the great famine in the mid-1990s as a similar milestone. The older generation grew up on rations from the regime, but the younger generation grew up on rice purchased from the market. They think they didn't get any benefit from the regime's system. It is natural that there is huge gap between them in terms of loyalty, ideology and thoughts about the country's leader.”
