TEDxTripoli 2012 - Hannah Song

Throughout history, some governments have managed change when confronted. Others have continued to deny the basic dignity of their own people and are forced to change after the people turn against them. In North Korea, under the world's most oppressive regime, is change possible? Hannah Song is the President and CEO of Liberty in North Korea, a non-profit organization that raises awareness about the human rights and humanitarian crisis in North Korea. Song discusses how change in North Korea is not only impossible, but perhaps inevitable.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Libya, An oasis for World Freedom, thriving to suppress yet another SUPREME Leader.

I always believe speeches,lecturing,and demonstration is no good to get your freedom.

The best thing is get up hold your gun,and take your freedom back by force.

I know it is bad and nasty to see people dying but every free country paid the price just look at the history.

This message in this video nothing but some history teaching.

Markets have not improved North Korea. Source Youtube 38north Yoo Ho-Yeol. It might exist and people might depend on it but it is not something that should generate hope except for those who want to profit off this.
