Why South Korea Overturns Martial Law
- A few hours after announcing martial law in the country, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on early Wednesday announced the withdrawal of emergency martial law following a vote by the National Assembly calling for its termination.
- The Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea confirmed that the troops deployed to enforce martial law had returned to their bases, indicating a return to normalcy, ANI reported citing Yonhap News Agency.
- In the early hours, President Yoon’s cabinet approved a motion to lift martial law, about six hours after Yoon had declared it on Tuesday in response to what he described as “anti-state” activities by the opposition, which he claimed were “paralyzing” the government.
- Yoon’s People Power Party, which suffered a landslide defeat at a parliamentary election in April this year, giving control of the unicameral assembly to opposition parties that captured nearly two-thirds of the seats, called his attempt “tragic” and demanded that those involved be held accountable.
- The United States, which stations nearly 30,000 troops in South Korea to protect it from the nuclear-armed North, initially said it was watching events with “grave concern” and then said that it was “relieved” that President Yoon has reversed his “concerning” declaration of martial law.
- China, a key ally of North Korea, urged its citizens to exercise caution. Russia, which is also close to Pyongyang, called the situation “alarming”.
- The imposition of martial law came after Yoon’s approval rating dropped recently, with many expressing dissatisfaction over his handling of the economy and controversies involving his wife, Kim Keon Hee.
