Subject: A New Home for Hmong Refugees?
The Shan States: A New Home for Hmong Refugees?
by Mike Nally
CHIANG RAI (Northern Thailand) --Could the Federated Shan States
(located in northeast Myanmar and part of once was the Union of Burma)
be the new home for scattered Hmong refugees from China, Lao PDR,
Vietnam and Thailand?
That's the hope and mission and goal of a pair of Hmong brothers, Dr.
Touyer Moua, 44, of Garden Grove, CA, and father of 12, and Dr. Daniel
Moua, 50, of Fresno, CA, father of 10. The brothers, both academics
-- Touyer is a social worker and Daniel is a Hmong pastor to 31
families who also owns radio station KQEQ (1210 AM) -- are unlikely
heirs to the mantle of power that once draped the shoulders of
militant Hmong Laotian leader, Gen. Vang Pao.
