The South Korean government says that more than 10,000 North Koreans reached the South during the past three years. South Korea's government said Monday the total number of North Korean defectors has surpassed 20,000 since the end of fighting in the Korean War in 1953.

Yeah, the sanctions must be working.
We never knew that sanctions only hurt the people, so when the people cross the border looking for a better life, they must be running away from the bad a$$ government of theirs.
What a news
"If confidence is to be built between [North Korea] and the US, it is essential to conclude a peace treaty for terminating the state of war, a root cause of the hostile relations, to begin with," the official Korean Central News Agency quoted the foreign ministry as saying.

Second line.
The Korean War (1950–armistice, 1953)
ar·mi·stice noun \ˈär-mə-stəs\
: temporary suspension of hostilities by agreement between the opponents : truce
North Korea's foreign ministry said it wanted peace talks with Washington to work towards a more formal accord to replace the truce which ended the 1950-53 Korean war, bringing about Korea's separation. This would be a means for the North to re-enter six-party nuclear discussions involving the two Koreas, the US, China, Japan and Russia.
"I saw many children that are already losing the battle against malnutrition and their bodies and minds are stunted," she said, adding that "the need there for special fortified food for the children is very strong."
North Korea’s resource challenges extend well beyond biodiversity loss and perennial famine. About 80 percent of North Korea is mountainous, resulting in significant agricultural dependency on chemical fertilizers to help famers manage steep topography. This dependency in turn has led to acidification of arable land and lower crops yields that could otherwise help to feed the malnourished population.

If the US doesn't want peace, then the US is a direct threat to N-Korea. That threat is taken seriously.
Sanctions hurt no body but the N-Korea people, why doesn't anyone accept that?
