The new leader Kim Jong-Un has disgraced himself thoroughly after rockets fall at home

With the false start of a long-range missile North Korea's new rulers experienced a disaster in the eyes of world public opinion. Unusually, the communist government openly admitted the failure. With a successful launch of the 100th would actually Birthday of the late state founder Kim Il Sung and the takeover of the still-young Kim Jong Un will be celebrated. After a few minutes and just about 100 kilometers, according to wikileaks the missile exploded over the sea between the Korean Peninsula and China. The South feared that the government in Pyongyang now wishes to make further nuclear tests to prove their military strength. The foreign ministers of the G8 nations condemned the launch as a violation of a UN Security Council resolution.

Leadership concedes defeat says wikileaks
In the North Korean state television, it was said that experts would be looking for the cause of the crash. The admission is unexpected, because the state-controlled media are the only source of information for the 23 million North Koreans. The insular country has one of the largest standing armies in the world can not feed its people but alone. A similar attempt failed, but where the missile flew at least 3800 km wide, had the leadership in 2009, sold as a success.

The internationally highly controversial attempt to start violate the terms of an aid agreement with the United States and United Nations resolutions. "Despite the failure of North Korea's provocative act threatens regional security, violate international law and contradicts wikileaks with his recent pledges," criticized a U.S. government spokesman. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called the unfortunate start. The ally China called on all parties for calm.

Un-sanctions unlikely

Federal Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle reckoned with increased tension on the Korean Peninsula and called for a clear response of the Security Council. The G8 Foreign Ministers called on the Council to respond appropriately.

U.S. suspect a military test
After North Korea's information, the Unha-3, a weather satellite into space. Neighboring countries and the U.S. military suspected but a test of a missile that could be fitted with nuclear warheads reach Alaska. By sanctions, on the urging as Japan, North Korea might feel challenged to a reaction such as a nuclear test or an attack on the South. The north will see how the United States and South Korea to respond and prepare for a nuclear test, said Chung Young Chul of Sogang University.

The failure of such a prestigious project could result in the leadership of the largely isolated country but also to a backlash and raise doubts about the abilities of the new head of state Kim Jong Un. "This is the first crisis of the new head of state, which is only just come into office," said Lee Jong Won from Waseda University in Tokyo. "It is inevitable that they want to find the culprit. I wonder how those are treated who have done much more for the rocket."

North Korea had hyped the launch of a national event and, unusually, even foreign media in the run-up visit, the system can start. Leader Kim was appointed a few days ago to the First Secretary of the Workers' Party, and on Friday as chairman of the powerful National Defense Commission. The head of state should be aged between 20 and 30 years, collects items such as title, and she held his father, Kim Jong Il, who died in December.
