Claim: Moyo District is a territory of South Sudan (Moyo District, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2019-05-28): In August 1955, months before Sudan’s independence, the largely Christian Southern Sudanese took up arms against Muslim rulers in the North to achieve a vision of greater regional autonomy, which sparked a mass flight of people from their homes. By the end of the First Sudanese Civil War in 1972, the Sudanese government estimated that 500,000 people had hidden in the bush, and another 180,000 had crossed into neighbouring countries, with 74,000 settling in four official camps (Onigo, Agago, Acholpii and Nakapiripirit) in northern Uganda. Many of the displaced persons, including my own family members, self-settled in other parts of Uganda, mainly near cotton ginning mills and other businesses operated by Ugandans of Indian origin, who employed them as casual labourers. [...] Different ethnic groups that have seen clashes over contested territories have also been forced into settling in areas of close proximity following unrest in their respective homelands. My own research reveals the Kuku of Kajokeji in South Sudan were so suspicious of the Madi in the Ugandan Moyo district that, when they settled in the latter’s region, they avoided treatment in the Moyo hospital for fear of maltreatment by Madi medical personnel. The history of conflict over certain borders has a direct bearing on the welfare of refugees in the present. [...] Dr. Leben Nelson Moro is Director of Planning, Innovations and Quality Assurance and former Director of Institute of Peace, Development and Security Studies at the University of Juba. He mainly conducts research on forced displacement in South Sudan. He received his DPhil in Development Studies from the University of Oxford.

Evidence (2024-06-14): President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda expects a report from the delegation led by the two Ministers he sent to Yumbe and Moyo districts to settle Uganda-South Sudan borderline wrangles, Ugandan official said. [...] A lawmaker at the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA) last week accused elements of the Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) of allegedly abducting three South Sudanese nationals in Kajo-Keji County. James Janka Duku, an SPLM legislator representing Kajo-Keji County in the TNLA, said the Ugandan army forcefully encroached into South Sudanese territory in Nyaingamuda, Bori Boma in Kajo-Keji County, chasing away citizens. [...] In 2009, President Museveni and his Southern Sudanese counterpart Salva Kiir Mayardir met in Moyo district and agreed that farmers from both countries could utilize the vast virgin farmland along the border without any party claiming ownership of the land until the boundary between the two countries is redefined, which hasn’t been done.

[...] This came after local leaders in the Lamwo district of Uganda on April 29 accused the South Sudan army (SPLA) of blocking road engineers working on the Lamwo road connecting to South Sudan's Eastern Magwi County. [...] The two countries are yet to resolve the land dispute in the Moyo area of Uganda, bordering KajoKeji area of South Sudan with especially the Gbari area being contested by both the Madi and Kuku ethnic groups.

Claim: Rasŏn administrative division is a territory of North Korea (Rasŏn administrative division, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): After the division of the country into North and South Korea, the two sides used different terms to refer to Korea: Chosun or Joseon (조선) in North Korea, and Hanguk (한국) in South Korea. In 1948, North Korea adopted Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Korean: 조선민주주의인민공화국, Chosŏn Minjujuŭi Inmin Konghwaguk; ) as its official name. In the wider world, because its government controls the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, it is commonly called North Korea to distinguish it from South Korea, which is officially called the Republic of Korea in English. Both governments consider themselves to be the legitimate government of the whole of Korea.[14][15] For this reason, the people do not consider themselves as 'North Koreans' but as Koreans in the same divided country as their compatriots in the South, and foreign visitors are discouraged from using the former term.[16] [...] - ^ North Koreans use the name Chosŏn (조선, 朝鮮) when referring to North Korea or Korea as a whole. The literal translation of North Korea, Pukchosŏn (북조선, 北朝鮮), is rarely used, although it may be found in sources which predate the Korean War. South Koreans use Bukhan (북한, 北韓) when referring to North Korea, derived from the South Korean name for Korea, Hanguk (한국, 韓國). [...] - Kim, Jinwung 2012, p. 18 - "Immediately after destroying Wiman Chosŏn, the Han empire established administrative units to rule large territories in the northern Korean peninsula and southern Manchuria."
Claim: Rasŏn administrative division is a territory of North Korea (Rasŏn administrative division, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2019-06-19): Since before the foundation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea ('DPRK' or 'North Korea') in 1948 a three-tiered system of administrative divisions has existed across the Korean peninsula. This administrative system is primarily based around provinces, counties, and villages, designated by the suffixes –do, -kun, and –ri, respectively, which serve as the basis for North Korean 'country grammar'. The territory of the modern DPRK covers four of the eight Korean provinces (조선팔도 | 朝鮮八道) dating to 1413 AD: Pyong’an, Hwanghae, Hamgyong, and Kangwon. Add –do, pronounced like Homer Simpson’s ‘doh!" sans exclamation mark to the end of each when speaking in Korean become Pyong’an-do, Hwanghae-do, Hamgyong-do, Kangwon-do.

Evidence (2024-09-10): Geography [edit]The 746 km2 (288 sq. mi.) Rason Special Economic Zone is in the north-eastern part of North Korea. It includes the easternmost point of the country. Its eastern boundary is the Tumen River, which is also North Korea's border with China and Russia. Rason has the northern-most port in Northeast Asia that is ice-free all year,[6] and so the port is used by the two neighbouring countries.[7][4][2] The zone is between 42 08'-42 38'N and 130 07'-130 42'E.[5] [...] - Ra-Son Economic Co-operation Company - Foreign Economic Co-operation Corporation - Korea Joint Venture Group - Samgwang Trading Company - Korea Machinery Trading Company - Korea Daesong B Trading Corporation - Opalsam Trading Company - Korea Rungra 888 Trading Corporation - Korea Ponghwa General Corporation - Pyongyang Aluminium Products Factory - Korea Osoksan Trading Company - Light Industry Products Trading Company - Korea Samtaesong General Group - Korea Pyongchon Trading Corporation - Golden Triangle Bank[24] [...] See also [edit]References [edit]- ^ a b c Ruediger Frank (16 December 2014).

Claim: Rasŏn administrative division is a territory of North Korea (Rasŏn administrative division, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-02): The division of Korea began on August 15, 1945, when the official announcement of the surrender of Japan was released, thus ending the Pacific Theater of World War II. During the war, the Allied leaders had already been considering the question of Korea's future following Japan's eventual surrender in the war. The leaders reached an understanding that Korea would be liberated from Japan but would be placed under an international trusteeship until the Koreans would be deemed ready for self-rule.[1] In the last days of the war, the United States proposed dividing the Korean peninsula into two occupation zones (a U.S. and Soviet one) with the 38th parallel as the dividing line. The Soviets accepted their proposal and agreed to divide Korea.[2]

Evidence (2024-08-01): Provinces are the first-level division within North Korea. There are 9 provinces in North Korea: Chagang, North Hamgyong, South Hamgyong, North Hwanghae, South Hwanghae, Kangwon, North Pyongan, South Pyongan, and Ryanggang. [...] A province (Korean: 도; Hancha: 道) are the highest-ranked administrative divisions in North Korea. Provinces have equal status to the special cities. [...] Claimed provinces [edit]North Korea claims seven provinces on the territory controlled by South Korea. While people's committees for these claimed provinces were elected in 1950 during the Korean War, no government-in-exile for them exists as of 2024. These provinces are based on the divisions of the Japanese era, but correspond somewhat to the present South Korean provinces and the special cities partitioned out of them, owing to the alterations in the provincial division effected by South Korea being more conservative relatively to those effected by the north.

Evidence (2024-10-09): North Korea is divided administratively into nine provinces (to), the special province-level municipality (jikhalsi) of P’yŏngyang, the special city (thŭkpyŏlsi) of Rasŏn, and two special administrative regions (chigu)—the Mount Kŭmgang tourist region and the Kaesŏng industrial region. The provinces are further subdivided into ordinary cities (si), counties (gun, or kun), and villages (ri), the smallest administrative unit. There are both provincial and city (or county) people’s committees and people’s assemblies. The people’s committees discharge administrative functions, and the people’s assemblies perform legislative functions. The provincial people’s assemblies approve the appointment of members of provincial people’s committees; the city (or county) people’s assemblies perform similar functions for local people’s committees. The people’s committees operate under the control of the cabinet (central government). The KWP also maintains central, provincial, and city (or county) party committees to "guide" other branches of government.

Evidence (2024-09-25): Jilin[a] is one of the three provinces of Northeast China. Its capital and largest city is Changchun. Jilin borders North Korea (Rasŏn, North Hamgyong, Ryanggang and Chagang) and Russia (Primorsky Krai) to the east, Heilongjiang to the north, Liaoning to the south, and Inner Mongolia to the west. Along with the rest of Northeast China, Jilin underwent an early period of industrialization. However, Jilin's economy, characterized by heavy industry, has been facing economic difficulties with privatization. This prompted the central government to undertake a campaign called "Revitalize the Northeast". The region contains large deposits of oil shale. [...] The province is rich in large reserves of oil, gas, coal, iron, nickel, molybdenum, talc, graphite, gypsum, cement rock, gold and silver; its reserves of oil shale are the largest in the country.[11] [...] Administrative divisions [edit]Jilin consists of nine prefecture-level divisions: eight prefecture-level cities (including a sub-provincial city) and one autonomous prefecture:

Claim: Rasŏn administrative division is a territory of North Korea (Rasŏn administrative division, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-07): Korea has had administrative districts that can be considered provinces since the 7th century. These divisions were initially called ju (Korean: 주; Hanja: 州) in Unified Silla and Later Baekje, and there were nine in total. After Goryeo conquered these states in the 10th century, twelve divisions called mok (목; 牧) were established, although they were reorganized into ten do (도; 道) in the 11th century. [...] With the liberation of Korea in 1945, the Korean peninsula was divided into North Korea and South Korea, with the dividing line established along the 38th parallel. As a result, three provinces—Hwanghae, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon (Kangwŏn)—were divided into North Korea and South Korea in today's era. The special cities of Seoul (South Korea) and P'yŏngyang (North Korea) were formed in 1946. Between 1946 and 1954, five new provinces were created: Jeju in South Korea, and North and South Hwanghae, Chagang, and Ryanggang in North Korea. Since 1954, provincial boundaries in both the North and South have remained unchanged but new cities and special administrative regions have been created. [...] Provincial divisions since the division of Korea [edit]At the end of World War II in 1945, Korea was divided into Northern Korea and Southern Korea under trusteeship of the Soviet Union and the United States. The peninsula was divided at the 38th parallel in 1945. In 1948, the two zones became the independent countries of North Korea and South Korea.

Claim: Rasŏn administrative division is a territory of North Korea (Rasŏn administrative division, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-09): Efforts have been made throughout North Korea’s history to increase low labour productivity. In the late 1950s the state adopted a mass-mobilization measure called the Ch’ŏllima ("Flying Horse") movement that was patterned on China’s Great Leap Forward of 1958–60. Subsequently, in the early 1960s, programs were instituted in agricultural and industrial management, called respectively the Ch’ongsan-ni Method and Taean Work System. In the late 1990s the country adopted the official goal of building a strong military and a prosperous economy, adopting the motto "Kangsŏng taeguk" ("Strong and prosperous nation"). Under this slogan Kim Jong Il paid meticulous attention to the military, his primary base of power, while opening parts of the economy to accommodate foreign investment and trade. North Korea even allowed parts of its territory to be used by foreign (South Korean) businesses, including the sightseeing areas around Mount Kŭmgang, in the southeast, and the Kaesŏng Industrial Complex, in the southwest. However, the operation of these enclosed and restricted areas, known as special economic districts (gyŏngje t’ŭkgu), was conducted strictly under North Korean supervision and was only for the purpose of collecting foreign currencies (mainly U.S. dollars), not as part of the country’s overall economic activity.
