Antisemitic French comedian Dieudonné M'bala M'bala, best known as simply 'Dieudonné,' is reported to be heading to North Korea to attend a 'peace festiva'" in Pyongyang.
Dieudonné has been barred from entering several countries, including the UK, and has been convicted in both French and Belgian courts for incitement to hatred over racist and antisemitic comments. He revealed details of his latest stunt in a video on YouTube in which he said, "At a time when the United States is organising military exercises on the Korean peninsula, I believe we have to take action."
Dieudonné, who will travel to North Korea with the far-right writer Alain Sorel, will join a short list of western celebrities who have made trips to Pyongyang. The former basketball star Dennis Rodman has made five "diplomatic trips" to the pariah state, most recently in June, when he met with North Korea's sport minister and gave him a copy of Donald Trump's book, The Art of the Deal.
Details are scarce as to the nature of the festival Dieudonné is supposedly attending, but the independent NK News website, based in Seoul, South Korea, reports that the trip has been arranged by Bollo Nils "a self-described coordinator between the DPRK state-run Korean International Sports Travel Company (KISTC) and French tourists".
