North Korea's veteran leader Kim Jong-il has died at the age of 69. State media announced he passed away on Saturday, after suffering a heart attack. Kim Jong-il's youngest son, Kim Jong-un, has been named his successor. Meanwhile, as the news broke, Pyong-yang's long standing enemy, South Korea put its armed forces on high alert, while the government has declared the situation an emergency. Kim Jong-il's body is lying in state in a mausoleum in the capital, before a funeral service on December 28th. Until then, a period of mourning has been declared in the country. Anissa Naouai takes a look back at the life of a man, who became a symbol of the reclusive state.

  • Too much duck make heart have bad luck

  • I'd rather attach myself to a rail and wait for an approaching train than choose to live in such a sinister country... I guess it's so damn disgraceful to be ruled by a bunch of such brainless bastards, of course only for the ones who are aware of how dysfunctional this state really is... the world's a much better place without this insane, atrocious wanker
