Ong Kommandam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ong Kommandam was the right hand man of Ong Keo. He quickly picked up the struggle for independence with far greater success because he was able to unite the highland minorities of Southern Laos. He claimed that they were the Khom who are indigenous to the area, and have lived in a glory age when the Khmer ruled them, and when they were a part of the Kingdom of Lan Xang. He continued the fight for independence from 1910 until 1936 when he was killed.
