AL JAZEERA - South Korean workers leave Kaesong complex, Apr 27, 2013

"Around 125 South Korean workers have left a jointly-managed industrial complex in North Korea after Pyongyang rejected calls for talks to re-open the facility. The workers, who left on Saturday, were among the 175 South Koreans who had remained at the Kaesong industrial complex after operations were suspended on April 9. A total of 800 South Koreans normally worked there prior to the shutdown. A Unification Ministry official said the 125 South Korean employees and one Chinese were able to leave after the North assured their safe passage across the border. The remaining 50 were scheduled to return to the South by Monday, Yonhap news agency reported. Operations at 123 South Korean factories came to a halt when Pyongyang pulled out all of its 53,000 workers against the backdrop of rising tension over Pyongyang's nuclear programme and US-South Korean military exercises. The North blocked South Korean personnel and supplies from entering the complex, but allowed people to leave. "
