Internal Enemy of North Korea
Like any other country in the world, there is an internal conflict in the North Korean leadership. The current supreme leader of the socialist republic, Kim Jong-un, has continued the authoritarian leadership he inherited from his father and grandfather and does not tolerate any kind of objection to his policies and decisions. The people surrounding him, including his very close family members are expected to obey his orders and directions without any questioning. Anyone suspected of acting against his rules is facing the maximum punishment, which is death. As the country is under tough dictatorship, it is not possible to find any kind of party or individual to openly oppose or fight the regime while they are in the country. So, it is really tough to find any internal enemy of the leadership in North Korea. The only thing that the people that are seriously opposing the regime is to flee the country go to neighbouring China or south Korea. Note, that only the like one can get this chance.
Nuclear Missile Test
North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests since 2006, in violation of international law. Two were conducted in 2016, including one that North Korea said was a powerful hydrogen bomb.
North Korea has reportedly fired a ballistic missile on Tuesday and went into waters off the peninsula.
The North Korean ballistic missile was launched from near Sinpo, a port city on the country's east coast and flew about 40 miles before crashing into the sea.
The National Security Council has presented President Donald Trump with options to respond to North Korea's nuclear program — including putting American nukes in South Korea or killing dictator Kim Jong-un.

North Korea is considered the most isolated country in the world. Specially, western countries see the regime as a serious threat to the world in general and the neighboring countries in particular. The most serious animosity is the one between USA and North Korea. There has always been continuous and escalating conflict between these two countries. The other major enemy of North Korea is South Korea. The tension on the border of the two Korea's is so tense that they are always following the movements of each other with high alert. These countries have already been in a war that was given importance worldwide. Japan is also another enemy of the North Korean regime.
Leaders of North Korea
The Kim dynasty, officially called Mount Paektu Bloodline, is a three-generation lineage of North Korean leadership descending from the country's first leader, Kim Il-sung, in 1948. Kim came to rule the North after the end of Japanese control in 1945 split the region. He began the Korean War in 1950 in an attempt to reunify the peninsula. Kim developed a cult of personality closely tied to their state philosophy of Juche, which was passed on to his successors: his son Kim Jong-il and grandson Kim Jong-un.
