The group were dressed in tactical-style gear and were armed with both pistols and rifles. They refused to comply with orders to drop their weapons and ran into the woodland by the side of the road.
Covid-19 has not been kind to the North Korean people. Like many authoritarian actors around the globe, Kim Jong-un used the pandemic as an excuse to tighten his grip on power.

One of the most irritating terms of our time must be “gaslighting”. It sounds so serious, but is just another of those pseudo-criminal charges that people fling around online, as though it has a well-known application in the real world.
