Sudan Activists Call for 'Justice' for Killed Protesters

Sudan Activists Call for 'Justice' for Killed Protesters

KHARTOUM, SUDAN — Tens of thousands of Sudanese flooded the streets of Khartoum and other cities Saturday to mark the 40th day since the deadly dispersal of a protest sit-in, and a protest leader said a planned meeting with the country's ruling generals to sign a power-sharing deal was postponed until Sunday. 
 
The ``Justice First'' marches were called by the Sudanese Professionals' Association, which has been spearheading the protests since December. Those demonstrations led to the military ouster of autocratic president Omar al-Bashir in April.  
  
The marches marked 40 days since the dispersal of the pro-democracy protesters' sit-in outside military headquarters in Khartoum on June 3. Protest organizers said security forces killed at least 128 people during the dispersal and subsequent crackdown. Authorities, however, put the death toll at 61, including three from security forces. 

Accountability sought
 
Protesters have called for a ``transparent and fair'' investigation into the deaths. ``The military council should be held accountable [for] the massacre,'' said protester Samer Hussein. 
 
Footage and photos posted by the SPA showed thousands of people demonstrating in the capital and its sister city of Omdurman. There were protests in other places, including the Red Sea city of Port Sudan and the eastern province of Kassala. 
 
Protesters were seen waving Sudanese flags and posters that read ``Freedom, Peace and Justice'' and ``Civilian [authority] is the people's choice.'' 
 
The marches came just over a week after massive demonstrations on June 30, when tens of thousands of demonstrators flooded the streets in the biggest show of numbers in the uprising. At least 11 people were killed in clashes with security forces, according to protest organizers.

Saturday's marches also put pressure on the ruling military council as it and the Forces for Declaration of Freedom and Change, which represents the protesters, planned to meet to sign a power-sharing agreement. African Union envoy Mohammed el-Hassan Labat originally said a meeting would take place Saturday night. But Ahmed Rabei, a spokesman for the SPA, said later the protest movement called for the talks to be postponed until Sunday ``for more consultations'' within the FDFC on the deal. 
 
The state-run SUNA news agency, however, reported that both sides would meet late Saturday. SUNA quoted a statement by the military council as saying that they would discuss the ``constitutional document'' with the FDFC in their meeting in a luxury Khartoum hotel. 
 
The signing ceremony was expected to take place earlier this week, but several delays have been announced, raising suspicions the two parties might still be divided over the agreement's details.  

Communists reject deal
  
Late on Saturday, the Sudanese Communist Party, which is part of the protest movement, said it rejected the power-sharing agreement because it does not include an international investigation into the crackdown and it keeps paramilitary forces in existence. 
 
The party said it would not take part in the joint Sovereign Council, the FDFC-appointed cabinet or the legislative body that would rule Sudan during the transition. 
 
The deal provides for the Sovereign Council to rule for a little over three years while elections are organized, along with a constitutional declaration, according to a copy of the deal obtained by The Associated Press. A military leader is to head the 11-member council for the first 21 months, followed by a civilian leader for the next 18. 
 
The deal was meant to end a weekslong political deadlock between the military and protesters since the Khartoum sit-in site was cleared. 
 
They also agreed on an independent Sudanese investigation into the deadly crackdown by security forces on the protests last month, though it's unclear if anyone will be held accountable. 
 
Gen. Mohammed Hamadan Dagalo, deputy head of the military council, told a gathering of military supporters in Nile River province, about 100 kilometers [62 miles] north of Khartoum, that his forces, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, ``are not angels and we will try all offenders.'' 
 
The RSF grew out of the notorious Janjaweed militias used by al-Bashir in the Darfur conflict in the early 2000s. Protesters accuse it of leading the nationwide crackdown, and the SPA has called for the force to be disbanded. 
 
Dagalo accused ``intelligence agencies'' of defaming the RSF. He did not elaborate.

Central Africans Express Mixed Reactions to Continental Free Trade Area

Central Africans Express Mixed Reactions to Continental Free Trade Area

KIOSSI, CAMEROON — Analysts and businesspeople in the six-member Central African Economic and Monetary Community say that although the African Continental Free Trade Area launched in Niger last Sunday at an African Union summit brings hope for pan African trade, they are not sure CEMAC will be fully implemented anytime soon. 

CEMAC's similar free-trade area has been plagued by corruption, national egos and a limitation of movement that have stunted the initiative.  

For instance, the Cameroonian town of Kiossi shares borders with Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, and quite often, authorities in those two countries seal their borders without any comment. 
 
Last December, Equatorial Guinea sealed its borders for a month. That same month, Gabon was expelling foreign citizens, especially Cameroonians, from its territory for what it called security reasons. 

Puzzled by move
 
Gabonese-born Gabriel Ndongma, who buys building material from Cameroon and supplies for his country and Equatorial Guinea, said recently that he did not understand why the borders have to be sealed and people have to be chased away when central African states have a common monetary and economic community created to facilitate movement and trade. 

He said CEMAC leaders should make strong political decisions that will make it possible for their people to travel freely among Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Chad, Central African Republic, Cameroon and Congo, the members of the economic bloc.

FILE - Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, center, reads a document at an AU meeting in Niamey, Niger, July 5, 2019, where the African Continental Free Trade Area was launched. CEMAC, a similar trade group, has had trouble progressing.

CEMAC was created in 1994. All member states ratified the treaty creating it in 1999, and free movement of goods, services, capital and people was officially implemented in 2000. It has a population of about 45 million and covers 3 million square kilometers.  

In 2017, CEMAC said it had reached a milestone after heads of state meeting in Chad lifted visa requirements for their citizens traveling within the bloc.  

Chadian-born transporter Bismau Halidou said that besides the regular closure of borders by some states in the region, nontariff barriers have made it difficult for free interstate trade to take off. 

Corruption problems
 
He said there were high levels of corruption among police, tax and customs officials in all central African states. He also noted that, surprisingly, Cameroon — which should pilot the integration process because it has a population of more than 25 million, more than half the region's total — was viewed as a country not to be trusted because of notorious corruption. 

Daniel Ona Ondo, president of the CEMAC commission, said security challenges were making it difficult to ensure free movement that can deepen economic integration for its citizens. He said carnage has continued in CAR, Boko Haram terrorism has continued along Cameroon's northern border with Nigeria, and the separatist crisis has killed thousands in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon.   
 
He said the region remains a place where pockets of tension and violence scare entrepreneurs away from investing or trading. He said it is still very difficult for people and goods to move freely because commuters are harassed by rebels and terrorists, and at times by security forces who are supposed to protect them. 
 
Chadian-born Fatima Haram Acyl, CEMAC commissioner for trade and industry, said Central Africa is one of the poorest regions in the world, with 70 percent of the population living on less than $1 a day and 30 percent of the people going hungry. He said the people there see the African Continental Free Trade Area as providing a way to fight poverty. He also said the challenges faced by the region require that uncompetitive industries be developed or knocked out of the market by stiffer competition. 
 
"We are going to have a big continental market in Africa, so it is very, very important for us to protect ourselves," he said. "You know, when we have a big continental free trade area, there is going to be a lot of foreign products coming, so we have to protect our industries, we have to protect our people, we have to protect our market, because it is attractive for the whole world." 

Much yet to do
 
Acyl said that despite the launch of the ACFTA, much work needs to be done before the agreement — signed by all 55 members of the African Union except Eritrea — becomes effective.  
 
Trade between African countries has been held back by several bottlenecks, such as poor infrastructure, cumbersome border procedures, trade regulations, tariffs and the high cost of transactions.  
 
The U.N. Economic Commission for Africa, however, estimates an increase in intra-African trade of 52.3 percent by 2020, asserting it will increase employment, facilitate better use of local resources for manufacturing and agriculture, and provide access to less expensive products.

Joe Biden takes indirect shot at Kamala Harris over her support for Medicare for All Former Vice President Joe Biden says he has "pretty profound differences" with some of his top rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination race over the costs and consequences of Medicare for All. Biden, the front-runner right now in the nomination battle, appeared on Friday evening to take a jab at Sen. Kamala Harris of California over a lack of straightforwardness on her support for Medicare for All. At the same time, he singled out Sen. Bernie Sanders for being honest about the ramifications of implementing the single-payer healthcare plan.

Who Is Jeffrey Epstein? Accused Sex Trafficker Is an Enigma

Who Is Jeffrey Epstein? Accused Sex Trafficker Is an Enigma

Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy American financier, was charged this week with child sex trafficking and alleged abuse of dozens of girls as young as 14.

Despite living a life of private jets, celebrity friends and private islands, Epstein remains an enigma.

In a profile published in 2002, New York Magazine called Epstein an "international moneyman of mystery."

Author James Patterson, who has written a book about Epstein, called him "a total mystery person."

On CBS News, Patterson compared Epstein to author F. Scott Fitzgerald's character Jay Gatsby: an impenetrable rich man who "liked to be around famous people and he liked to throw parties."

Humble beginnings

Epstein's start was a humble one. He was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York. His father worked for the city parks department.

In the mid-1970s, Epstein attended a private college in New York called The Cooper Union. He later attended New York University. Even though he failed to earn a degree from either school, Epstein managed to land a job teaching math at the Dalton School, an elite private school in Manhattan.

He was reportedly hired by then-headmaster Donald Barr, father of Attorney General William Barr, according to Newsweek magazine.

Epstein quit Dalton in 1976 and started work at the Wall Street investment bank Bear Stearns, advising clients on tax strategies. By 1980, he "did well enough to become a limited partner — a rung beneath full partner," Vanity Fair reported.

He left Bear Sterns in 1981 and set up a money management firm, J. Epstein and Co., which later became the Financial Trust Company, based in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Epstein's company is shrouded in secrecy. While Epstein has long claimed to represent several billionaires, his only known client is Les Wexner, the founder of Victoria's Secret, The Limited and other retail brands.

And despite his claims of wealth, Forbes magazine says Epstein is not a billionaire. He has never appeared on the magazine's list of 400 richest Americans.

Lavish properties

"The source of his wealth — a money management firm in the U.S. Virgin Islands — generates no public records, nor has his client list ever been released," according to Forbes.

According to Bloomberg, "Today, so little is known about Epstein's current business or clients that the only things that can be valued with any certainty are his properties."

What is known is that Epstein calls home one of the largest private residences in Manhattan, where many of his crimes were allegedly committed. He also owns an island in the Caribbean and properties in Paris, Palm Beach and New Mexico.

The Florida residence of Jeffrey Epstein is shown, July 10, 2019, in Palm Beach, Fla.

Notable friends

Along with lavish properties, Epstein also appears to like to collect notable friends.

In 2015, the now-defunct site Gawker published what it said was Epstein's address book. It contained entries for U.S. President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump; actors Alec Baldwin, Dustin Hoffman and Ralph Fiennes; the Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, singers Courtney Love and Jimmy Buffett, and high-profile lawyer Alan Dershowitz among others. He is also known to have traveled on his private jets with former President Bill Clinton and actor Kevin Spacey.

None of his high-profile friends have been linked to the crimes for which Epstein was indicted by a federal grand jury in New York this week.

Fontanone di Ponte Sisto

Rococo1700:


[[Image:Roma fontana di ponte Sisto.jpg|thumb|Fountain today in Piazza Trilusso]]
The '''Fontana''' or '''Fontanone di Ponte Sisto''', once known as the '''Fontanone dei Cento Preti''', is an early 17th-century, monumental fountain now located on Piazza Trilusso, facing the south end of the [[Ponte Sisto]], in [[Trastevere]], Rome, Italy. It was reconstructed here in the late 19th century, originally erected across the river, attached to the former building of the Collegio Ecclesiastico.

==History==
[[Image:G.Vasi - Collegio Ecclesiastico a Ponte Sisto.jpg|thumb|Fountain on the facade of the Collegio Ecclesiastico (on right, below roofline clock), engraved in 1759 by Giuseppe Vasi]]
[[File:FontanaDiPonteSistoByRoeslerFranz.jpg|thumb|Depiction of fountain (mid-19th-century) showing relationship to bridge prior to demolition]]

[[File:I Fontanoni dell'acqua Paola.jpg|thumb|View shows the present relationship of the fountain to the Acqua Paola higher up on the Gianiculum hill]]
In 1587, a hospice for the indigent was established at the north end of the Ponte Sisto by Pope [[Sixtus V]]. The building, erected by [[Domenico Fontana]], and included a large chapel or church (no longer extant), dedicated to St Francis of Assisi (''San Francesco a Ponte Sisto'' or ''San Francesco ai Mendicanti''). Originally called the ''Ospizio dei Mendicanti'', the uses of this hospice building altered over the centuries. In the early 1700s, under Pope [[Clement XI]], the male beggars were moved to the hospice at [[San Michele a Ripa]], and a section of the building, entered through the present Via delle Zoccolette, became the hospice or conservatory for the ''Zitelle Mendicanti'' (maidens or girls who were beggars). This hospice, called the ''Zoccolette'' was established under Pope [[Innocent XII]], and functioned into the 19th-century, when it was renamed the ''Conservatorio di Santi Clemente e Crescentino'' under the administration by the Padri delle Scuole Pie.
<ref>[https://ift.tt/2XJca7e Roma antica e moderna o sia nuova descrizione di tutti gl'edifici antichi et moderni], Volume 1; by Gregoire Roisecco; Stamperia Pucinelli, Rome (1750); page 601.</ref><ref>[https://ift.tt/2J6X4iU Accurata, E Succinta Descrizione Topografica, E Istorica Di Roma], Volume 1; by Ridolfino Venuti; Presso Carlo Barbellieni, Rome (1766); page 228.</ref> The name Zoccolette was likely derived from the clog, ''zoccolo'', given to the girls to shod their feet.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2LQMCOs Rome Art Lover, entry on area.</ref> The portion of the building accessed from the Via dei Pettinari (old Via Gulia) became a hospice for indigent retired priests (''Ospicio dei Centi Preti''), and later became a seminary, the ''Collegio Ecclesiastico''. In the mid-19th century, part of this unit functioned as a military hospital.

It was to this latter ''seminary'' building in Rione Regula, that under Pope [[Paul V]] (Borghese), it was decided to build this fountain, in which to funnel water from the [[Fontana dell'Acqua Paola|Acqua Paola]] on the [[Gianiculum]], across the river through pipes carried by the Ponte Sisto. The fountain built of stone and travertine marble discharged water from various sites: the top basin (still present but no longer participating in hydraulics) was filled by jets above, and then overflowed to the larger basin below. Additionally, water spouted from both the mouths of two lion faces and from dragons (heraldic symbol of the [[Borghese family]]) carved in to the pedestal of the column bases. The engineering was carried out by [[Giovanni Vasanzio]] and [[Flaminio Ponzi]], and the fountain, attached to the facade of the building, was designed by [[Giovanni Fontana]].<ref>Roisecco, page 603. Entry with drawing of Fountain in situ on the wall of the palace.]</ref> Previously, the area in front of the fountain was called Piazza San Vincenzo Pallotti. The cost of making the fountain was almost 4000 scudi, estimated in 2006 to be the equivalent of 4 million euros.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2XFvbYg Il Fontanone di ponte Sisto che fu difeso dal 'Times'], arcticle by Claudio Rendina in ''Repubblica'', 02/19/2019.</ref>

The fountain at the north bank was disassembled in the late 19th-century.During the occupation of Rome by Napoleonic forces in the early 19th century, the papal symbol atop the fountain was removed. By the 1870s, the northern banks flanking the Tiber, a strip of land prone to flooding, were cleared in order to build the [[Lungotevere]], leading to the dismantlement of the fountain in 1879, many of the stones were used for landfill. Over the next decades, this was viewed as an act of cultural hubris, and disrepect for the Renaissance scultpture. The council of Rome decided to re-erect the fountain in its new location in 1898, even though the architect Angelo Vescovali could only find about half the original stones of the monument.<ref>Rome Art Lover.</ref><ref>C. Rendina article.</ref> The fountain, now facing the bridge from the opposite bank, is a busy park.</ref>

Luthang

Obsidian Soul:


'''''Luthang''''' (), is a [[Philippines|Filipino]] traditional [[toy gun]] made from a hollow cylindrical piece of bamboo and a piston. A seed or a wet piece of paper (the "bullet") is inserted in one end of the cylinder and the piston is pushed in rapidly at the other end. This results in the air compressing inside before it pushes the "bullet" out with a pop. The toy is popular among children in rural areas of the Philippines.<ref></ref><ref></ref><ref></ref>

The name ''luthang'' is originally [[Visayan languages|Visayan]], meaning a small naval [[cannon]] (''[[lantaka]]''). The word has been recorded in Spanish dictionaries of Visayan languages since at least 1711, where its meaning evolved to include [[musket]]s, [[arquebus]]es and [[shotgun]]s.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The word is still used as a verb meaning "to gun down" in Visayan languages; and in [[Hiligaynon language|Hiligaynon]] as an archaic synonym of ''pistola'' (gun or pistol).<ref></ref><ref></ref>

Sozialistische Monatshefte

Jochen Burghardt: added Category:Magazines published in Berlin using HotCat


'''Sozialistische Monatshefte''' was a journal edited by [[Joseph Bloch]] from 1897 to 1933 and published by the "Verlag der Sozialistischen Monatshefte" in Berlin.

==History and contents==
It was close to the revisionist wing of the [[SPD]]. It was not controlled by the party and provided a space for debates within the movement. For its opponents, representatives of the revolutionary viewpoint as well as the center of the party, the Socialist Monthly Bulletins were regarded as the journalistic "center of international revisionism".<ref>1</ref><ref>2</ref>

The journal was originally founded in 1895 by as "Der sozialistische Akademiker - Organ der sozialistischen Studirenden und Studirten deutscher Zunge". Two years later there were disagreements and Sassenbach left the editorial office. From then on Joseph Bloch continued the journal under the title "Sozialistische Monatshefte" as editor in July 1897, restarting the volume count. Since 1903, the Monthly Socialist Bulletins had been a [[GmbH]] company with 20,000 [[Goldmark]]s of capital. Shareholders were [[Jakob Bamberger]] (5,999 Marks), [[Eduard Bernstein]] (2,000 Marks), Joseph Bloch (6,000 Marks, of which, hovever, 5,000 Marks came from Leo Arons). [[Charles Hallgarten]] also supported the magazine, for example with 5,000 marks in 1905<ref>3</ref>.

Seoul-Tokyo Trade Tension Could Complicate US Efforts on North Korea Denuclearization

Seoul-Tokyo Trade Tension Could Complicate US Efforts on North Korea Denuclearization

Lee Jo-eun of VOA's Korean Service contributed to this report.

WASHINGTON — Growing trade tensions between Seoul and Tokyo could undermine regional stability and complicate U.S. efforts to make progress on denuclearization with North Korea, said experts.

The tension between the two countries, with origins in Japan's pre-World War II occupation of Korea, has become an "unprecedented emergency," said South Korean President Moon Jae-in in a Wednesday meeting with executives of South Korea's top 30 conglomerates. "We can't rule out the possibility that the situation would be prolonged, despite our diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue."

The meeting took place in response to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe imposing tight export controls on three Japanese-made high-tech materials to South Korea. The materials restricted July 4 are used in the production of memory chips, TVs and smartphones.

Working level talks between South Korea and Japan are scheduled to begin Friday in Tokyo, according to South Korea's trade ministry. The talks come after Moon this week urged Japan to roll back the export restriction, saying he wants to resolve the dispute diplomatically.

'White list'

The restriction comes in the form of a Japanese government review of sales of fluorinated polyamides, photoresists, and hydrogen fluoride to South Korea, which Tokyo plans to remove from its "white list" of national security allies that can receive sensitive Japanese exports without a permit. For example, hydrogen fluoride used as etching gas in chipmaking also can be used in chemical weapons.

Daniel Sneider, a Japan-Korea relations expert at Stanford University, said, "If you have a really serious breakdown of relations between Japan and South Korea, it has a real impact on the ability of the United States to fulfill its national security obligations in the region."

He continued, "The United States military relationship with Japan and the (military) base structure in Japan are an essential part of the defense of the Korean Peninsula. So to the extent to which our two allies are not cooperating with each other, including very important day-to-day cooperation, it undermines our security deterrence for South Korea." 

The U.S. nuclear umbrella in the East Asia protects both Japan and South Korea, and the U.S. has military bases both in South Korea and Japan. 

Evans Revere, former U.S. Deputy Ambassador for East Asian Affairs, speaks to the National Committee on American Foreign Policy and a North Korean delegation led by Vice Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, at The Korea Society in New York, March 10, 2012.

Denuclearization

The tensions also touch on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Evans Revere, acting assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs during the George W. Bush administration, said, "One rarely mentioned reason for the current level of Japan-Korea tensions is that Tokyo does not believe that South Korea is as dedicated to the cause of denuclearization as Japan is, and that (South Korea) may be prepared to tolerate a nuclear-armed North Korea, while Japan will never accept this." 

Japan is the only country that has experienced a nuclear attack. Days before the end of World War II, the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

"It is widely believed among Japanese experts and officials that Seoul prioritizes reconciliation over denuclearization, a view that is also shared by many American experts," Revere added.

With Japan, the U.S. has a missile defense treaty and joint missile defense system to deter North Korea's nuclear threats in the region. The U.S. is also obligated to defend Seoul under a security treaty it entered with South Korea at the end of the Korean War. 

On Tuesday, North Korea denounced Japan's plan to set up the U.S.-developed Aegis Ashore missile defense system in the country. Pyongyang called the defense system a "malignant cancer" and "overseas aggression" that can target not only the Korean Peninsula but also China and Russia.

Tokyo said the purpose of the Aegis Ashore deployment is to defend against possible North Korean ballistic missiles aimed at Japan. 

The South Korean defense ministry said Thursday that it is against the U.N. Command's push to include Japan as an official member of the U.N. Command in South Korea. The U.N. Command in Korea on Thursday denied the report.

The U.S. leads the 16 countries in the U.N. Command in South Korea that can send troops and war supplies and support if war breaks on the Korean Peninsula. The multilateral military force was established during the Korean War to fight against North Korea and has been stationed in South Korea  since then.

Essential allies

Sneider said daily military cooperation between the two U.S. allies is essential to guard against North Korean threats.

"A lot of day-to-day (activities) that go on between South Korean military and Japanese military … are all being undermined by this from a security point of view," Sneider said. 

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stressed "the importance of U.S.-Japan-(South Korea) trilateral cooperation" in denuclearizing North Korea when he spoke with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha by phone Wednesday, according to State Department spokesperson Morgan Ortagus.

Revere said, "The major concern for many Americans about the current Japan-South Korea dispute is that it is undermining trilateral solidarity in the effort to deal with North Korea."

He continued, "The evident erosion of Seoul-Tokyo cooperation, dialogue, and summitry has damaged the close policy synchronization that once characterized trilateral cooperation against North Korea. The ultimate beneficiary of this is North Korea."

Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware told VOA's Korean Service, "My hope is that this can be worked out in a responsible fashion between two sets of trusted allies."

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas said, "There are always delicate issues with allies at the end of the day. Both Japan and South Korea are and will remain close friends and close allies." 

Japan's role

The current tensions grow in part from Korean anger at Japan for decades of colonization and occupation of Korea from 1910 until Japan's 1945 surrender to the U.S. to end World War II. During that period, many Japanese companies used Korean forced labor. 

Compensation for the victims came in a 1965 bilateral treaty that normalized postwar relations between the two countries. 

The treaty's terms came up short, according to Korean activists who argued Japan's payment of about $300 million failed to provide fair compensation to people conscripted to work in Japanese companies.  

Japan contends the treaty settled the compensation issues. The treaty said all claims are "settled completely and finally." 

However, after decades of court battles in South Korea and Japan, South Korea's top court ruled last year that while the 1965 treaty settled disputes between the two governments, former forced laborers could sue Japanese companies individually. Then, in two related rulings, the court ordered Japan's Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp., and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., to pay a combined total of 14 South Korea plaintiffs hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation. 

Seoul has asserted that the current Japanese export control move is a politically motivated economic retaliation for the South Korean Supreme Court ruling allowing individuals to sue. Japan's chief cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga, referenced the court ruling in a press conference after the export curbs were announced last week, but denied the two issues were linked. 

Mitsubishi faces a July 15 deadline to respond to a formal request for talks with Korean former forced laborers, according to Jiji News, and Japan has set a July 18 deadline for South Korea to meet its demand for a third-party arbitrator in the forced-labor dispute.

Tokyo also claims the export controls are in part a response to Seoul's violation of international sanctions imposed on North Korea. 

Last August, Seoul announced that South Korean companies had illegally imported North Korean coal in violation of international sanctions on Pyongyang, and on Sunday, Abe told Japanese media that Seoul could be cheating on North Korea sanctions. 

Abe said, just as "Seoul is not abiding by international commitments on the wartime labor issue," it is likely "not regulating trade" in compliance with North Korea sanctions.

Last week, South Korea released two of its ships that were impounded for carrying out ship-to-ship transfers to North Korean vessels in 2017 and 2918, in apparent violation of sanctions. The U.N. approved the release of the ships because, according to the South Korean foreign ministry, the ships did not deliberately breach the sanctions.
