이나다 日방위상, PKO 문서 은폐 문제로 사임키로
Japan’s embattled defense minister is to resign over claims of a military cover-up.
With more on this and other news around the world…. we turn to Ro Aram…
Aram… if.. as widely expected… Tomomi Inada resigns… it will deal another blow to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is already going through a tough time with a record low approval ratings.

That’s right Mark…. the Japanese government’s popularity is plummeting as a number of scandals are rocking Abe’s administration.
In regards to the scandal surrounding Defense Minister Inada, she is accused of trying to cover up reports compiled by the Ground Self-Defense Force units that participated in a U.N. peacekeeping operation in South Sudan.
Inada’s ministry had said the logs were discarded, but it was later found that digital data of the reports were discovered in the Joint Staff as well as the GSDF.
This led to an investigation about the ministry’s handling of the records.
The NHK reports that Inada is to hand in her resignation to Prime Minister Abe on Friday to take responsibility for the scandal.
Results of the investigation are also due out the same day.
The minister has also been criticized for not remaining politically neutral by citing her ministry’s support for a candidate in the recent Tokyo assembly election…. and there have been constant calls from the opposition for her to step down.
Her reported resignation will come just a week before Prime Minister Abe is to reshuffle his Cabinet.
