In this episode of the podcast, we delve into the country of Laos and the 80 million undetonated bombs that no one seems to know about. 



Laos is a country located in southeast Asia, with a population of 7.3 million. Laos borders Thailand, Myanmar, China, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Because it's so close to Vietnam, it was heavily bombed during the time period of 1964 to 1973. CNN writes that “Some 80 million unexploded bombs are scattered across the country” and in the present day, Laos averages about four new casualties a week from unexploded munitions.

Thank you for listening and look forward to our next episode next Monday! 

The country’s history is one of constant reversals and disparities. At first, there was a brief reign of both a transitional government and a weak central government. However, Myanmar’s military staged a coup d’etat in 1962. The military held power from 1962 to 2011. The situation was not good during this time period. Economically, it was one of the worst places in the world. The military leaders abolished free speech and free press - banning independent newspapers. It also discriminated against its people - barring indigengous individuals from running for office - although most people could not acquire power either. Due to the poor conditions, there were many protests in Myanmar.
