they are just like us Hmong People known as MIAO in Chna. We have no land either coz it was taken by the Chinese thousands of years ago. The Miao in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam are also treated as cruel as the Akha . We are always on your side.. LOVE MINORITY ALWAYS

[@itsjacob]

Tell the China to Give the LAHU people our land back; Yunnan Province, And many other provinces that belongs to the hill tribes...

[@kreeba5220]

Let their land and other due rights be restored as soon as possible. The innocent hill tribes deserve fair treatment.

@hongkongsmartboy you're incorrect. Miao is not Chinese. The word Miao means Hmong. We are not Laotian nor Thai. Our ancestors are from the country of China.

Every where has racism, and I believed what this Akha lady said is probably true. Just like what the Thai people did to the Hmong Thai's leechee trees years a ago which is really sad too. TheThai government had paid off some of those losts to the Hmong Thai people which is not worth the losts of the Hmong Thai paople, but still something and is a good thing to do. Despite of all people in the world, I believed that there are good and bad people in each race.

[@kerryoke68]

I am American and I wanted to tell you how sorry I am for what my country did to you back in the 60s. You helped us fight a war and in exchange we promised you protection. Instead we left you for dead with a few crappy CIA riffles. As a result your people suffered systematic extinction. America OWES you. Here is hoping you get justice. My heart goes out to you.

[@tashisangpo7610]

Have to help to poor people. At least have to tell a good word for them.

[@tashisangpo7610]

Sorry, I heard your problem. I am also a poor man so I can feel the suffering whil don't have enough bread and cloth. Sorry, I will pray to Bhudda.

[@TheTheratfarmer]

[@HmoobQabNtuj]

The Miao aka: Hmong are also treated cruelly as the Akha people. The Chinese has taken our ancestors land and claim it as their own. When will we get it back. WE ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE - LOVE MINORITY ALWAYS -
