Abdujalil Abdurasulov from Jalalabad in Kyrygzstan sends in his thoughts on the Andijon Crisis:

The very language used to describe events in the eastern part of Uzbekistan is absurd: "Terrorists", "extremists", "boeviki" (A word used to describe Taliban in Afghanistan or rebels in Chechnya).

Such language constructs a perception that would justify brutality used to suppress the demonstration. Such rhetoric attempts to exonerate Uzbek military that opened fire on civilians who were crossing the Uzbek-Kyrgyz border near Karasu.

Make sure you read the whole piece and get a discussion going in the forum.
