North Korea's Ties to Africa

The Washington Post published on 10 July 2017 an article titled "North Korea's Surprising, Lucrative Relationship with Africa" by Kevin Sieff.

The author concludes that North Korea's ties to Africa allow it to show it still has friends abroad and benefits from their political support, sometimes violating UN sanctions in the process.

The UN Security Council published on 27 February 2017 a UN panel of experts report on North Korea that offers more detailed links between North Korea and a number of African countries, including Eritrea, Egypt, Namibia, Mozambique, Angola, DRC, Sudan, Uganda, and Tanzania.
