South Koreans agree to leave land near Camp Humphreys
Looks like the Korean government finally got an agreement on the land near Camp Humphreys. Residents who for several years refused to leave their homes to make way for the planned expansion of Camp Humphreys have finally agreed to relocate, South Korea$)C!/s defense ministry announced Wednesday.
The announcement caps months of government efforts to find a peaceful way to remove the residents from their homes in Pyeongtaek without touching off a repeat of the violence that marked earlier attempts in 2005 and 2006.
The residents will receive government money and other help in moving elsewhere in Pyeongtaek, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense said.
The residents have agreed to leave the area by March 31.
