      Laotian resistance leader and politician

born April 9, 1914, Mukdahan, French Indochina

died Sept. 9, 2008, Vientiane, Laos
was (with Kaysone Phomvihan and Prince Souphanouvong) a member of the triumvirate of men at the centre of Laotian resistance to French rule in Indochina and, after independence from France (1954), to the government that replaced it. Nouhak spent many years as a shadowy figure working behind the scenes in the Vietnam-dominated Indochinese Communist Party, the nationalist Lao Issara (“Free Laos”), the Pathet Lao, the clandestine People's Party of Laos, and finally the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP), which he cofounded in 1972. After the end of the Vietnam War also brought peace to Laos, the LPRP emerged in 1975 to win Laos's first general election, and Nouhak joined the new communist government as the hard-line head of the economic ministry. When President Kaysone died in 1992, Nouhak was appointed his successor. He retired in February 1998.
