The only thing the nations next to tajikistan have done is giving them a hard time. Uzbekistan cuts the supply of electricity to tajikistan and other nations could careless if the tajiks die or not. Afterall there are two differnt races, the mongoloids and tajiks so ofcourse all the nations surrounding tajikistan are mongoloid people and if anything they want to see the tajik people perish. I am happy that finally these people will have to listen. I never wanted it to be like that. I think central asian countries should come together and become like the EU in a way and help eachother since noone esle will help them. Anyways I am excited. Thank you for the news.

The incident was reported by RFE/RL. The Kyrgyz border guards were detained and a shootout followed. I think it is a matter of resources for Uzbekistan. Cattle could be considered a resource because its byproduct could mean life or death. This relates to Rogun because Uzbekistan feels that Tajikistan is being greedy with the water and depriving Uzbeks of it. Tajikistan, by successfully financing and constructing Rogun, will control the water in Central Asia, and ultimately the whole region.
