Biography

Jean-Claude Pomonti discovered Southeast Asia which became his favorite field during a trip in 1965. He returned to the newspaper Le Monde in 1974 as correspondent in Bangkok from where he covered the Vietnam War. [2]

His criticisms of the Phnom Penh and Saigon regimes resulted in repeated bans on his stay in the Khmer republic and in the Republic of Vietnam. [3]

His work allowed him, however, in 1973, to win the Albert Londres Prize. The following year, he was transferred to Nairobi where, for the same daily, he would cover East Africa until 1979, when he joined the Africa department at the headquarters of the newspaper in Paris. In 1985, he became deputy head of the foreign service in charge of Asia, before returning to Bangkok in 1991, again as correspondent. [4]

The Bunong is an indigenous ethnic group in Cambodia. They are found primarily in Mondulkiri province in Cambodia. The Bunong is the largest indigenous highland ethnic group in Cambodia. They have their language called Bunong, which belongs to Bahnaric branch of Austroasiatic languages. The majority of Bunong people are animists, but a minority of them follows Christianity and Theravada Buddhism. After Cambodia's independence in 1953, Prince Sihanouk created a novel terminology, referring to the country's highland inhabitants, including the Bunong, as Khmer Loeu. Under the People's Republic of Kampuchea (1979-89), the generic term ជនជាតិភាគតិច "ethnic minorities" came to be in use and the Bunong became referred to as ជនជាតិព្នង meaning "ethnic Pnong". Today, the generic term that many Bunong use to refer to themselves is ជនជាតិដើមភាគតិច, which can be translated as "indigenous minority" and involves special rights, notably to collective land titles as an "indigenous community". In Vietnam, Bunong-speaking peoples are recurrently referred to as Mnong.
