Hmong Surrender in Laos Marks End of Cold War Era Split
In central Laos 170 Hmong men women and elders surrender to the government near Chong Thuang village after years on the run from communist forces. U.S. sympathizers say thousands more may follow as fears fade and local villagers provide aid. The move follows decades of CIA-backed recruitment and subsequent abandonment after 1975.
