Kim Jong Un and his daughter's visit to a luxury tourist resort

Critics of the regime argued that this visit was a deliberate attempt to distract from pressing issues, such as food shortages and human rights abuses. By focusing on tourism and leisure, Kim Jong Un may be attempting to shift public attention away from the ongoing struggles within the country. This strategy of diversion has been employed by authoritarian regimes throughout history, highlighting the lengths to which leaders will go to maintain control.
