It was just two years ago, when the leaders of North Korea and South Korea agreed to work towards peace. They signed a pact to stop cross-border hostilities... and for once, there was hope for reconciliation. But now, that hope is fading. Pyongyang's threatened to re-deploy troops near the demilitarized border. It also destroyed a liaison office meant to facilitate dialogue, because, it says, South Korea allowed North Korean defectors to drop anti-government leaflets into its territory. The government in Seoul denies that and says it will no longer tolerate North Korea's behaviour. So, what's next for the region?
