EurasiaNet Eurasia Insight – Tajikistan: Dushanbe on the Edge of Instability — Report:
International attention may be focused currently on Kyrgyzstan, where the drama over the American air base is playing out, but the spotlight in Central Asia really deserves to shine on Tajikistan, according to a report prepared by the International Crisis Group. Tajikistan is a potential disaster waiting to happen.
EurasiaNet Business & Economics – Tajikistan: Dushanbe Braces for Shock, as Remittances Set to Fall Off Cliff: “The reverberations caused by the crash of the Russian economy are shaking Tajikistan at its foundation. Russian officials in recent weeks have ordered drastic cutbacks in the number of guest workers in the country.

The dangers were highlighted in March, when a convoy of oil tankers bound for NATO forces was attacked and destroyed at Torkham, a border-crossing town and the key transportation hub between Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
