Vang Pao cancels his trip to Laos

By The Nation
Published on January 6, 2010

Exiled Hmong leader Vang Pao has cancelled his planned visit to Laos this week after a death penalty threat from Vientiane, a California-based newspaper reported Tuesday.

His son Cha Vang and his confidant, Charles A. Waters, failed in several attempts to negotiate with Lao authorities to pave the way for the return of the ex-general, according to the newspaper The Sacramento Bee.

Another of Vang's 18 sons, Chai Vang, said the general's representatives apparently spoke with "the wrong people - it wasn't the proper channel."

The exiled Hmong ex-general announced last month in Fresno in front of some 1,000 American Hmong that he planned to return home to Laos on January 10 to end the three decade long conflict with the regime in Vientiane.

Vang Pao, who turned 80 on Christmas Day, was the guerrilla leader of ethnic minorities who helped the United States fight against the communist movement from the early 1960s until the fall of Vientiane in 1975.

Vang's plan was announced as Thailand was repatriating more than 4,500 Hmong refugees from Phetchabun and Nong Khai to Laos. The mass deportation was completed within one day last Monday.

The Hmong ex-general said it was time to forget history and live with the government in Laos peacefully.

However the reconciliation process has not yet begun in Laos and the authorities were not ready to welcome him home.

Lao Foreign Ministry spokesman Khenthong Nuanthasing told The Nation that Vang Pao would face legal implications upon his return.

He was sentenced to death in absentia for Vietnam-era war crimes by the Lao People's Court after the communist takeover in 1975, Khentong said.

The Hmong general retains his dream to return home some day. "We're hoping for reconciliation in the future, but at this time we're more concerned about the Hmong who were repatriated," Chai Vang said of his father's efforts - as reported by the newspaper.

any death penalty threat would surely cancel visits, unless he feels like being a hero.

In a dramatic speech before 1,000 Hmong at the Big Fresno Fairgrounds on Dec. 22, Vang declared it was time to make peace with communist Laos for the sake of 4,500 Hmong who'd fled to refugee camps in Thailand and another 5,000 to 8,000 reportedly still hiding in the Lao jungles. He said he would return Jan. 10.

In any war there are winners and there are losers. Betting on the losing side can be fatal. That's what happened to the Hmong. We made a lot of promises but when we abandoned Vietnam we also abandoned our allies the Hmong.
History has a way of repeating it'self. I'm sure as we search for allies in the middle east they will look at the Hmong, Vietnam or the Iraqi Kurds and wonder if that could be them next.
Remember what happened to the Kurds when we abandoned them after Iraq1? Saddam simply turned his remaining tanks and airplanes on them and destroyed them for supporting the American invasion.

Watches are a beautiful thing. Certainly, they tell us the time - but aren't they so much more than that? replicas watches Through their watches, a person can express so much, and in a way it could be said:replicas watches Show me your watch and I'll tell you who you are.
