North Korea, the mystery of Kim: he has not been seen in public for ten days

BEIJING – But Kim Jong-un where did it go? A few days of absence from the public scene are enough to bring back speculations about the North Korean leader. For the first time – or, at least, it is the first time that the state media have given an account – the “Respected Marshal” did not take part yesterday in a meeting of the Politburo of the Workers’ Party during which they were “examined and approved important documents ”in view of the Plenum which should be held in the next few days.
