Western governments have been told that North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Il, has been so unwell that he could not walk more than 30 yards without a rest, Diplomats in the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, are increasingly convinced that the 65-year-old dictator needs heart surgery to restore his apparently flagging health. He has had to be accompanied by an assistant carrying a chair so that, wherever he goes, he can sit and catch his breath.
Kim's public appearances have been curtailed this year - an indication, observers say, of his declining health. His illness may also explain why Kim has appeared to be tackling the question of his succession: he is reported to have taken Jong Chul, 26, and Jong Woon, 23, on a series of military inspections to ascertain who performed best. His eldest son, Kim Jong Nam, 36, is out of favour after being deported from Japan six years ago for trying to enter the country on a forged passport.
I can’t say I would shed a tear if the despot keeled over tomorrow. Sadly I am not over confident that his sons would be minded to steer North Korea away from the abyss.
