Sydkorea: Kims dotter ses officiellt som arvtagare
I Nordkorea ses nu diktatorn Kim Jong-Uns dotter Kim Ju Ae officiellt som efterträdare till sin pappa. Den bedömningen gör Sydkoreas underrättelsetjänst enligt AFP.
Tonåringen fick stor uppmärksamhet när hon följde med sin pappa på resan till Kina tidigare i september. Att hon åtnjöt samma rigorösa säkerhet som sin far under resan tolkas som ytterligare ett bevis på hennes status.
Bedömare har länge sett henne som Kims troliga efterträdare, även om en del pekat på att det kan finnas en äldre bror som i hemlighet förbereds inför att ta över.
bakgrund
Kim Ju Ae
Wikipedia (en)
Kim Ju Ae (Korean: 김주애; born c. 2012 or 2013) is a daughter of North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un and his wife Ri Sol Ju. The North Korean government has disclosed little information about her and much is unknown about her, including her birth date and name. The name "Ju Ae" was first mentioned by American basketball player Dennis Rodman after his visit to North Korea in 2013, but it has not been verified by either the North Korean government or South Korean intelligence. North Korean defectors interviewed by South Korean intelligence have claimed two alternate names for her: Un Ju (은주) and Ju Ye (주예).
She made her first public appearance alongside her father at a missile launch in 2022. State media initially referred to her as Kim Jong Un's "beloved" and "precious" daughter before adopting the adjective "respected", which is typically reserved for the most honoured members of North Korean society, such as Kim Jong Un himself. Since her public debut, analysts of North Korea have speculated about the reason for her prominence in state media, with some hypothesising that she may be the heir to the position of supreme leader and others arguing against this idea.
