North Korea's 'Supreme Leader' Kim Jong-un now named 'marshal' of military | North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been given the title of marshal and has
become the head of the country's 1.2-million-strong armed forces. The move came after a
high-level military reshuffle in which army chief Ri Yong-ho was removed from all his posts
because of 'illness'. According to The Telegraph, Kim's promotion is apparently designed
to bolster his image and dispel concerns among the North Korean people that he
is too young and inexperienced to lead a country. Kim's promotion is seen as part
of the shake-up in the highest echelons of the North Korean military. It places
him above six military leaders who hold the rank of vice marshal. The 29-year-old
leader is now officially Marshall of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
, First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea, Chairman of the Central Military
Commission, First Chairman of the National Defence Commission of North Korea,
Suprem Commander of the Korean People's Army and a presidium member of the Central
Politburo of the party.
