Jean-Claude Pomonti Explained

Jean-Claude Pomonti (born 27 April 1940)^[1] is a French journalist specializing in Southeast Asia.

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]
