Here is an update from the frontlines of the THAAD protest site:
Residents near the THAAD missile defense base in Sejongju, North Gyeongsang Province, clash with police on April 12, 2018, protesting against the transport of construction materials and equipment into the area. (Yonhap)
-South Korea’s defense authorities decided Thursday to wait until this weekend to bring construction materials and equipment into the U.S. missile defense base in the face of local residents’ protest.
The military had planned to transport them to the THAAD site, located in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, within the day.
Police clashed with hundreds of activists and residents, trying to clear the way for the trucks. Some protesters were hurt.
But the Ministry of National Defense reached a deal with them to continue talks through the weekend. The government pulled the police out of the area.
Only a dozen trailers will enter the base to take such heavy equipment as forklifts and bulldozers out of it. Those were used for early-stage construction work a few months ago. [Yonhap]
You can read more at the link, but the protesters want to be able to go on the site and monitor all the construction work which is intended to improve soldier facilities on the site. If a random civilian is allowed on the site maybe Kim Jong-un should demand that he should be allowed to have a representative on the site as well.
What utter bullsh*t. Arrest the nK agents, that is everyone in the protest, and clear the road.
LOL I’m sure Fatty already has a man or 5 in the crowd. Doesn’t need to ask for representation! @ GIKorea
When one of those protesters gets hurt no matter how, the US will be at fault.
