DPRK leader Kim Jong -un built eight mansions to protect against attempt, reports Daily Mail with reference to the study of the North Korea Leadership Watch.
In the published satellite images, current and completed construction work on residential buildings in two elite areas in the center of Pyongyan are visible. The new mansions are located in the Changinsan complex, in the so -called “Forbidden City”, where Kim Jong -un and other key representatives of the North Korean elite lives and works. The houses are located across the road from the office buildings of the departments of the Central Committee of the ruling party. Departments are one of the most influential institutions in the political culture of the DPRK, since they control the work of the government, security forces and military organizations.
The publication also determined the new protection building and several free plots of land, where three to five residential buildings can be built.
Analyst, director and founder of North Korea Leadership Watch Michael Madden, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said that one of the possible reasons for the construction was the task of complicating the search for Kim Jong -uni so that his enemies would not know where he was sleeping and could not commit blow.
According to him, this is “another round in the” game of cat mouse “, in which the leader of North Korea eludes his location with satellite pictures.” The expert noted that sometimes false trips, underground structures, as well as trips in the early morning are used for this. “If you think that he is in the same house, then think again, he may be in another,” Madden remarked.
