Party building in Muong Nhe district, Dien Bien province

Being a role model in the implementation of the policy, Xe, as the village head (elected in 2015), has always encouraged villagers to stabilize in their lives, not to migrate freely anymore.

As the result, the Muong Nhe district Party Committee has reached the target of no hamlet without any party member, establishing party cells at hamlet and village level; improving the capacity of local Party leaders and strength of local Party cells.

The Muong Nhe District Party Committee has helped Ly Tu Xe - a villager who was imprisoned for drugs possessing and trafficking - strive to retrieve, becoming a Party member and being elected as the village party secretary.

Ha Nhi ethnic Ly Tu Xe (born in 1983 at Nam Pac hamlet, Cheung Chai Commune, Muong Nhe district, Dien Bien Province) was arrested in 2005. In 2008, after a period of good performance, he was able to return to his family. With the sharing from the local people and authority, he started to rebuild his life.

Being a role model in the implementation of the policy, Xe, as the village head (elected in 2015), has always encouraged villagers to stabilize in their lives, not to migrate freely anymore. In 2017, he was honored to be in the ranks of the Party and in 2019 was elected party secretary of Nam Pac hamlet.

“I made a mistake. During the time in prison, I thought a lot. When I returned home, my wife advised me not to go back to the previous path, but concentrating on farming for economic development ”, Xe recalled.

Previously, his family faced with lots of difficulties while his children were still so young. Now, both of Xe’s children have finished grade 12, the family has fields to cultivate, having pigs and chickens raised and thus getting out of poverty.

The village has 37 households with 139 people, mainly of the Ha Nhi ethnic group. Starting from only 3 or 4 party members, the hamlet Party Committee of Secretary Ly Tu Xe now has had 16 party members. The hamlet can have party meeting once a month.

“At the moment I only want to be supported by the authorities and government with seedlings, knowledge and business experience for economic development, so that I can share with others in the village, helping people to get out of poverty and have stable lives”, said Xe.

Muong Nhe is one of the 62 poorest districts in the country, ethnic minorities account up to 93.6% of the district's population (Mong 64.4%; Ha Nhi 11.7%, Thai 10%; the rest are from other minoritoes). The ethnic people's living conditions are still poor.

With the potential of fertile land, large land fund, and sparse population density, in the past, people from Lai Chau, Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Son La, Yen Bai provinces massively migrated to Dien Bien, especially to Muong Nhe. This causes a number of complex security issues.

We have made sure all 38 hamlets have Party members and have established 75 grassroots Party cells. We are providing training and awareness improvement for leading villagers”.

26 village patriarchs have been admitted to the Party. 12 of them have assumed the dual role of village chief and Party cell secretary. Outstanding individuals and role models are recognized each year, Hung said.
