Dear Sir/Madam,

Since I have read the information about Hmong's history during the Vietnam War in Laos, I have found that the information you wrote and posted in Wikipedia is not clear enough yet because you have mentioned only the Hmong group who was supported by CIA, but not other Hmong group who (warrior and heroes are 21% ) had worked side by side with Pathet Lao government in order to fight against the Vietnam War between 1957 -1975. I would like to share more information about the Hmong history during the Vietnam War in order to let outsider know the truth by not to misunderstand that Hmong was the group who fight against Pathet Lao. Below here is the truth information that Wikipedia should be taken into account or considered. The politics of the American/Vietnam War (during 1960’s through 1975) has divided the Hmong in Laos into two main groups; the first group was supported by the government of the United States of America, especially the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This group was led by General Vang Pao and Touby Lyfoung, while the second group (with population of 450,000 people 'Lao National Census, 2005 ') was supported by the Pathet Lao  which was led by Faidang Lorbliayao. After the Pathet Lao took over the country in 1975, military leaders of Vang Pao’s group and the Hmong people who fought side by side with the CIA fled as refugees into Thailand. They gradually settled in third countries such as in the USA, Canada, France, French Guiana, Australia, Germany and Argentina. The largest Hmong population in the third countries is in the United States and number about 250,000 (Prasit, 2011 and Evans, 2006). But during the course of my conversations with Hmong people in Minnesota, USA, 2012, I learned that many Hmong regardless of their political affiliation moved to third countries, some as refugees, and some as immigrants.

Sincerely Yours,
