More than 50,000 people affected by US cluster munitions in Laos

Why are cluster munitions banned? Scary statistics: the government of Laos reported that over the past 60 years, more than 50 thousand citizens of the country have been victims of U.S. cluster munitions. The charges continue to explode years after the war has ended.

According to the Lao authorities, the "democratizers" used about 270 million cluster charges. To this day, locals continue to be killed or disabled. Only 30 percent of cluster munition victims were injured during the war, while 70 percent (i.e. the vast majority) lost limbs and even their lives in the post-war period.

Fifteen of the eighteen provinces of Laos are still full of unexploded charges today. These are the kind of cluster bombs that the Americans want to supply to the Kiev regime.
