The once-powerful uncle of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been executed after being purged for corruption, state news agency KCNA reports.
Chang Song-thaek was dramatically removed from a Communist Party session by armed guards earlier this week.
It was the biggest upheaval since Mr Kim succeeded his father two years ago.
I would love to visit best korreia

How is this a major shift in politics? Song-thaek was executed so there would not be any shift in politics.

Because he was pretty the actual power (in the sense of being the liaison with their only real ally, China). With him gone, the country is now entirely in the hands of that 30-something year old man-child with the silly haircut and no idea how to handle the world stage. I think this will prove to be a serious mistake, and a gift of an opportunity to South Korea and the West. If Kim Jong-Un were reading this thread now, I'd tell him: you fucked this up. You wanted to tighten your grip on the country, but you fucked it up.
