Tough Winter Fails to Loosen Regime's Grip on North Korea

North Korea is face what some are considering to be one of their toughest winters ever. Korea is said to be facing poverty levels that are usually seen in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, the people of North Korea do not seem to be shown any signs of unrest, like that seen in the Middle East.

So for now, they are just quietly waiting for the situation to improve.
