[Ben] UZ - Crisis Group Andijon report
The Crisis Group (name changed from International Crisis Group) has just released its report on the Andijon 'Uprising'. Probably lots of interesting stuff in the document. It is until now the most complete analysis of the events around the 13th of May. The policy recommendations in the executive summary are, well, spicy:
If President Karimov continues to block such transparency, governments will need to ask themselves whether the only way to avoid being tainted themselves by association with the Uzbek government, and to shock the Uzbek authorities into reform before it is too late, is to pull back their assistance and begin to distance themselves from the regime.Posted by Ben at May 25, 2005 05:55 PM | TrackBack
