The situation in Laos is very complicated.....this is to clear up many of the confusion in Laos..
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::HMONGS LIVING IN PEACE:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
THESE ARE HMONG PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT ENGAGED AGIANST THE COMMUNISTS FORCES IN LAOS DURING VIETNAM.....OR HAVE NOT BEEN SUSPECTED OF DOING SO....THUS THE LAO GOVT. LEAVE THE MAJORITY OF THESE HMONG PPL ALONE
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::CIVILIANS ON THE RUN:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The majority of hmongs in the jungle are fighting for survival.....or more like running for their lives....these are the ppl with families, childern, women with them...THEY ARE CIVILIANS...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::CHAO FA::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
These men are the official Revolutionary Hmong Freedom Fighting Force:: The Chao Fa Democratic Party
These forces are govern by a code and goal: To fight for a democratic Laos.....some say they also want an independant Hmong nation.....that they wanted to break a piece of northern Laos up and make it a Hmong Nation along with making Laos into a Democracy....
>They also aim to unite the Hmongs
>and in anyway possible: the advancment of the Hmong ppl...
>in the name of Hmong.....defend Hmong.
There maybe more reason for their existence
CHAO FA WAS FOUNDED AND LED BY THE LEGENDARY: PA KAO HER
sidenote: there are other clans represented in Chao fa as well
There are also civilians within Chao Fa as well....whom cling on because their brothers/husbands/cousins/fathers are Chao fa and for protection...
CHAO FA ARE NOT MERELY MEN IN ARMS
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::NEO HOM::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Don't know too much of them...
but for political reasons/misunderstanding/confusion: they don't mix with Chao Fa...
these men are loyal to the former General Vang Pao
THERE ARE RUMORS THAT CHAO FA AND NEO HOM HAVED ENGAGED IN GUNFIRE..
probably carry women and childern with them as well to protect them
Also a revolutionary force......that fights in the name of Hmong

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Hmong Traitors/criminals/::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
These are part of the main reason for the confusions in the jungles of Laos...
There are stories of Chao Fa committing massacres....rapes....and burning... looting Hmongs
THIS IS BECAUSE THESE MEN ARE NOT CHAO FA....
they claim the name for rights and for scare tactics....and take advantage of other Hmong folks....they could very well be traitors as well from a revolutionary branch...I'm not sure
For this reason.....it creates distrust with other Hmong folks
Thus, many ppl think Chao Fa sides with the communist Lao forces
Others are hired by Communist Lao forces to kill Hmongs....some are told to kill or their families will be killed instead
