Kim Jong Un is one of the few prominent world leaders yet to congratulate Joe Biden for winning the presidency of the United States. Chinese president Jinping was also quiet upon Biden’s victory but broke the silence on Wednesday when he congratulated Biden.
However hard they tried, the previous regimes couldn’t sway the attitude of North Korea towards the United States. Under both Barak Obama and Donald Trump, North Korea continued to threaten the US Homeland with nuclear weapons.
“Regardless of the US presidency, the North Korean regime is unlikely to change its behavior. Or even shift its strategy toward the US”. Said Soo Kim, a policy analyst who worked at the CIA.
“The nukes are here to stay. Kim will continue to build missiles and the strategy has proven to work for decades. So, why change what works?’’
What the DPRK is likely to do;
In 2009, just months after Obama took over the presidency, North Korea tested him with the launch of a long-range rocket and nuclear device. Similarly, North Korea also tested Trump with a series of ballistic missile lunches. They culminated with the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile that experts believe could reach the entire US.
Kim will likely give some clues on how he is to approach the new Biden Administration during an annual New Year’s address. However, tensions might end up escalating if Joe Biden chooses to respond with a show of military might.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
