García Frías looked half-dead and froze for multiple minutes (there are videos online) the others still seem, unfortunately, very well for men in their 90s. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khamtai himself nowhere to be seen but his wife is there. I'm assuming most of the images used in the articles are quite old. Here's one from 2018 of Soomro with Balakh Sher Mazari, Sherbaz Khan Mazari and Ataullah Mengal. Siphandone fails to appear again. I guess we won't see him anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's even an image of a birthday cake for him on facebook but Siphandone is nowhere to be seen. His two successors were well enough to receive visits & pose for images late last month. Ages 87 and 86, but both look like they're going to make 90+. Also, Lt. Gen Ai Suriyaseng (ໄອ່ ສຸລິຍະແສງ, I believe he's Ai Soulignaseng on Wikipedia, former Cent'l Committee member who retired in 1996) who's 95 or 96 was visited. I'll give it until tomorrow evening considering that birthday event his wife attended was apparently held yesterday. If there's no news by then, he's very likely very ill.

In fact they would give the wide impression he is dead already, except he isn't. Surely he is bedridden, to the point they would pixel his face like they do with very ill cadres in neighbouring Vietnam, but I also think he must be on some form of life support or even braindead and kept breathing like the Thai princess. Anyway being a former head of state, the richest man in the country and the father of the current PM, his death could not be concealed even in what is a dictatorship.

If I’m not mistaking, several articles refer at thé celebration as the « 100th anniversary of Siphandone’s birth » which is a very odd phrasing.

Alongside with Edouard Balladur, I think he's one of the few old French politician who meets the fame criteria of the DL and who could be eligible to take over from Le Pen or Delors, once one of them is dead. A massive figure in France who still does interview as we saw last week where he made a zoom meeting talking about LGBT rights in the midst of Pride month. Worth mentioning he was married to actress Anne Vernon, born 1924 (wiki), famous for her role in The Umbrellas of Chebourg and who was also talked about here before. His actual wife is Elisabeth Badinter (wiki) who is 78, advocate and feminist, a brilliant mind who's everywhere this time in French medias, talking about Roe V. Wade decision. Robert Badinter reportedly a goner: https://www-lemonde-fr.translate.goog/disparitions/article/2024/02/09/robert-badinter-est-mort_6215627_3382.html?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
