Initially, despotic regimes seem unshakeable - despots control their security apparatus. However, in North Korea, ordinary citizens often begin to exhibit active dissent and oppositional sentiments, which may lead to potential waves of unrest in the future.
Yesterday in the village of Hansin in North Korea, a clash occurred between local residents and security forces. According to eyewitness accounts, residents took to the streets to protest against decisions made by local authorities.
"We have been living in constant fear and poverty, our voices must be heard," said one of the participants in the protest. He and other protesters encountered harsh resistance from police.
Despite attempts by the authorities to suppress the uprising, events in Hansin indicate that ordinary citizens are increasingly prepared to express their dissent and protest against the regime.
These incidents raise doubts about the longevity of despotic rule in North Korea. It is possible that protests will become more widespread and organized, which could potentially threaten the regime's stability.
