united states. their intention is to face saving china's efforts the north korea nuclear issue. another intention is that north korea wants to be nuclear state approved by united states, but it will not be accepted by united states at all. the country north korean's first goal is to consolidate kim jong-un's political power. kim jong-un believes that nuclear weapon program greatly contributed to stabilities. so north korea nuclear weapon problems are hardly abandoned. rather, north korea puts more efforts to be accepted as a nuclear nation by super powers such as china and the united states. resuming dialogue between south and north korea looks like unlikely in the near future. north korea government has little intention to negotiate with the south due to the unstable political situations rather north ckreorea put more perfects for friendly relations with china. >>> people in the democratic republic of the congo have lived in the shadow of conflict for years. armed groups are fighting to gain control of land and resources in the vast african nation, and they don't just use guns.
