North Koreans go to work on a field at the propaganda village of Gijungdong, in the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas, 42 km (26 miles) northwest of Seoul, April 30, 2008. Soaring global food prices and reluctant donors are pushing North Korea back towards famine, which could see the secretive government turn even more repressive to keep control, a paper released on Wednesday said.
