  • Major General Phoumi Nosavan (Lao: ພູມີ ຫນໍ່ສວັນ; 27 January 1920 – 1985) was a military strongman who was prominent in the history of the Kingdom of Laos; at times, he dominated its political life to the point of being a virtual dictator. He was born in Savannakhet, the French Protectorate of Laos, on 27 January 1920. Originally a civil servant in the French colonial administration of Laos, during the last year of World War II he joined the resistance movement against the Japanese occupiers. Exiled from 1946 to early 1949 for his opposition to French return to colonizing Laos, he returned to his native soil to begin a military career in 1950 after the collapse of the anti-French Lao Issara government. By 1955, he was Chief of Staff of the brand-new Royal Lao Army. While in that position, he was largely responsible for appointing senior officers into command positions in the Military Regions of Laos. Following that, in 1957 he was the first Lao officer to be schooled in France at the École de Guerre (War College). While in France, he became acquainted with Central Intelligence Agency operative John F. "Jack" Hasey. Phoumi returned to Laos to become a founding member of the Committee for the Defence of National Interests on 17 June 1958. On 25 December 1959, he took control of the capital of Vientiane and of the nation in a bloodless coup. Drawing military power from his status as a general officer, and political power from appointment as defense minister, Phoumi would remain a dominant figure in Laotian political life for the next six years. He would be temporarily removed from power during an August 1960 coup by Captain Kong Le, only to return with a Central Intelligence Agency backed counter-coup in December. From 1961 to 1963, he carried out military operations contrary to his American advisers' wishes, figuring the U.S. would have to support him regardless. His American backers periodically curtailed military aid to his forces to compel his compliance, even as the Royal Lao Army's performance deteriorated. The aftermath to the Battle of Vientiane in early 1961, as well as the disastrous Battle of Luang Namtha in 1962 and the lost Battle of Lak Sao in 1963 illustrated his shortcomings as a military commander. As Phoumi's influence was whittled away, he attempted to retain power via coups, including one in 1964, and one in 1965. The 1964 coup being unsuccessful, he was stripped of his troop command. His final coup attempt in January 1965 was plotted with borrowed troops. When that bid to regain power failed, he fled into exile in the neighboring Kingdom of Thailand. He was sentenced in absentia to 20 years imprisonment. Phoumi Nosavan died in Bangkok, Thailand in November 1985. (en)

  • Phoumi Nosavan (1920 - 1985) was een Laotiaans generaal en politicus. Phoumi was van 1959 tot 1960 minister van Defensie in de koninklijke Laotiaanse regering. Op 18 september 1960 pleegde hij een rechtse staatsgreep tegen de neutralistische regering in Vientiane. De neutralistische regering, gesteund door de communistische Pathet Lao en de Sovjet-Unie, wisten de staatsgreep succesvol te dwarsbomen. Op 13 december 1960 waagde Phoumi Nosavan opnieuw een staatsgreep, die resulteerde in de , die door Phoumi en zijn aanhangers werd gewonnen. Phoumi Nosavan installeerde daarna een rechtse regering onder leiding van de centrum-rechtse prins Boun Oum. De nieuwe regering genoot de steun van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. President John F. Kennedy besloot echter na enige tijd de rechtse regering niet meer te steunen, en beval een neutrale regering aan, om een Sovjet-interventie in Laos te voorkomen. In februari 1962 schortte de VS zijn hulp aan de regering-Boun Oum op en in juni 1962, nadat Phoumi een militaire nederlaag had geleden tegen de neutralisten en de communisten, trad hij af. In dezelfde maand trad hij echter nog toe tot de coalitieregering van prins Souvanna Phouma - een coalitie bestaande uit de Neutralistische Partij (neutralisten), Democratische Partij (centrum-rechts) en de Pathet Lao (communistische georiënteerd). In de nieuwe regering van Souvanna Phouma trad Phoumi op als minister van Financiën en monopoliseerde een deel van de economie. De april-coup van 1964 (generaal en generaal ) maakte een einde aan zijn macht. Een nieuwe couppoging in februari 1965, met de hulp van kolonel Bounleut Saycocie, mislukte, waarop beiden in ballingschap gingen in Thailand. (nl)
