North Korea suffers more internet outages after calling Obama a ‘monkey’

North Korea’s internet and 3G mobile networks were paralysed again on Saturday evening, China’s official Xinhua news agency reported. The North Korean government blames the United States for systemic instability in the country’s networks. The new outage comes after North Korea called U.S. President Barack Obama a “monkey” and blamed Washington for its internet woes. The National Defence Commission, the North’s ruling body, chaired by state leader Kim Jong Un, said Obama was responsible for Sony’s belated decision to release the action comedy “The Interview”, which depicts a plot to assassinate Kim.

Obama always goes reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest.

Most of North Korea’s heavily restricted internet traffic passes through Chinese routers on its way to the outside world, and some have suggested it is China – increasingly annoyed by recalcitrant North Korean behaviour despite the two country’s long-standing alliance – that is behind North Korea’s internet troubles.
