So sad after reading the News. Communist taking all the money for himself and his family. They didn't even care for their poor Lao citizens living the remote area.
Why people in LAOS still support Lao Communist GOV?

The answer to that is very simple & easy. In commie's rules & laws, there shall be no voice/protester from the people, nonwhatsoever. Whether you like it or not, you have to live with it. Your other choices....DEAD. or MISSING W/O TRACE. If any plan 4 subversion, you'd done.

Emergency food aid needed in central, southern Laos
Two UN aid agencies are calling for emergency food assistance for more than 111,000 people in Laos who are currently facing a rice shortage.
The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and World Food Programme (WFP) said on Tuesday that residents in areas of central and southern Laos require immediate outside support to tide them over until the main wet season rice harvest in October 2011.
The agencies said in a statement that the shortage stems from Typhoon Ketsana in 2009, a 2010 drought and subsequent localised flash floods.
The statement added that a WFP analysis showed that “Only one-third of the rural population have enough food to eat throughout the year and a substantial proportion of rural households continue to experience chronic or short-term food insecurity.”
The agencies estimated that more than 4,000 tonnes of rice will be needed this year to help feed those 111,000 people in central and southern provinces in immediate need of assistance.
The UN bodies said the food shortages are particularly serious for low-income families because of present unusually high food prices both in Laos and worldwide.
The agencies based their report on interviews conducted with government officials and international organisations in December of last year.
They also made several recommendations to improve medium-term food security, including improvements in crop diversification, dry-season irrigation, grain storage, and veterinary care.
Some villagers in rural areas of Khammuan province lack sufficient rice to eat throughout the year after floods destroyed rice crops last season, Agriculture and Forestry Department Deputy Director Mr Khamsone Ounthavy told Vientiane Times yesterday.
He said that the majority of the farmers affected are in Bualapha district and they are now asking for assistance through rice handouts.
As they reside long distances from the provincial capital and in areas that are difficult to access, it is hard for officials to ensure assistance reaches them in a timely manner, said Mr Khamsone.
Usually, Khammuan farmers produce sufficient rice to meet provincial demand, with only some people in remote areas lacking adequate rice to eat all year round, he said.
Mr Khamsone believes that this dry season's rice harvest will compensate for the crops damaged by natural disasters in past years.
The amount of rice cultivated in the province this dry season has increased since last year as farmers have expanded plantation areas and because rising food prices are causing more people to grow their own food, he said.
Since Typhoon Ketsana struck in December 2009, many tonnes of rice have been distributed by international organisations through the government to victims in central and southern provinces, but more assistance is still required.
Champassak provincial authorities are targeting a rice harvest of 60,000 tonnes this dry season, according to a report from the provincial agriculture section.
This figure may provide a sufficient supply of rice for the provincial population throughout the year despite the numerous areas of crops impacted by water shortages during last year's wet season.
But some residents in the rural areas of Khong and Pathoumphone districts may still need assistance.
Each year, drought and flooding destroys thousands of hectares of rice in Laos, leading to a failure to achieve production targets and food shortages for many rural communities.
