Kim Ki-nam, one of North Korea's longest-serving officials who has worked for all three leaders of the reclusive state, has died aged 94. As head of the propaganda unit, he played a key role in cementing the political legitimacy of the Kim dynasty. Current leader Kim Jong-un paid tribute to the late official describing him as a "veteran revolutionary" who remained loyal to the country until the end.

the one who works to make propaganda narrative for the sake of government legitimacy.
India is currently grappling with the Nipah virus outbreak, yet awareness of this issue remains limited due to the stringent control exerted by the Indian government over the media. This lack of widespread coverage hampers public understanding and response to the Nipah virus, highlighting the challenges posed by media censorship and the importance of transparent and open communication during health crises. Increased awareness and access to accurate information are crucial in effectively managing such outbreaks and safeguarding public health.
Sounds suspicious. When does a 94 just die like that? The Kims are at it again.
