Kim Jong-un claims to have succeeded where the greatest minds in science have failed… by producing a single drug which can prevent and cure AIDS, Ebola, SARS\u00a0and MERS.<\/p>\n

North Korea is currently suffering from one of the worst droughts in its history while still pursuing a nuclear programme.<\/p>\n

The official Korean Central News Agency said the portly despot’s scientists developed miracle drug Kumdang-2 from ginseng and other ingredients – without saying which.<\/p>\n

North Korea claimed the same drug cured deadly bird flu outbreaks in 2006 and 2013.<\/p>\n

The North\u2019s claim comes as rival South Korea fights an outbreak of Mers – a respiratory disease similar to SARS – that has killed two dozen people.<\/p>\n

There is no known vaccine for the disease.<\/p>\n

North Korea\u2019s announcement via their central news agency contained no detailed information. Korea is one of the world\u2019s largest producers of ginseng.<\/p>\n

A case of Mers was also confirmed in Thailand yesterday after a 75-year-old businessman from Oman was admitted to hospital in Bangkok. Fifty eight medical staff at the hospital have been quarantined.<\/p>\n

The Thai case has sparked fears in Asia of a repeat of a 2002-2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which began in China and killed about 800 people globally.<\/p>\n

MERS was first identified in humans in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and the majority of cases have been in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

North Korea is currently suffering from it\u2019s worst drought in over a century, leading some commentators to believe the science announcement was meant to divert attention from the problem in a country highly dependent on agriculture.<\/p>\n

Thirty percent of its rice paddies have dried up, and the UN has warned that the food supply could be seriously affected.<\/p>\n

Ruled by 32-year-old Kim Jong Un, Korea has astounded the world with claims over the years often linked to their leader – most recently that they had \u201cminiaturised\u201d a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

According to claims in school text books Kim Jong-un learned to drive when he was just three years old and won a yacht race at the age of nine and that he is a superb artists and musical composer.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s records also say that his father Kim Jong-Il scored 11 holes in one the first time he played golf.<\/p>\n

Kim Jong-un was also said to have climbed his country\u2019s highest mountain – although was pictured at the summit in his usual black overcoat.<\/p>\n

There were also totally unconfirmed reports that unicorns still existed in the country.<\/p>\n
