The Opium Problem in Afghanistan and Russia at the End of the 20th Century
Nikita Mendkovich (Russia) Najibullah’s Kabul regime fell in 1992. Its defeat was a logical outcome of the termination of Russia’s material and technical support as US funding of the mujahedeen continued virtually unchanged even after Soviet forces withdrew. Unfortunately a new regime could not bring stability to the country: the […]
Kyrgyzstan is the latest drama in the Central Asian Great Power Game
Adrian PABST (UK) Last week’s outburst of mass violence in southern Kyrgyzstan killed thousands and displaced around 400,000 ethnic Uzbeks – with most lacking any humanitarian aid and 100,000 now in temporary camps in neighbouring Uzbekistan. Representing about 15% of the Kyrgyzstan’s 5.6 million population, ethnic Uzbeks are the victims […]
Episode 3. Assassination in Sarajevo (I)
“The Austrian and Russian emperors should not dethrone one another and pave the road to revolution.” Archduke Franz Ferdinand It was an ordinary, unremarkable visit by a senior leader of the Empire to one of its central cities. And for us, it would not be the slightest bit interesting, if […]
Strategy For Balkanization of Pakistan
My generation, the baby boomers, was trained to think but the progressive generations are being trained to let a select few think. The control and brainwashing role has been delegated to the media, the voice of all politicians, over the past 20 years through disinformation. In the futuristic book, the […]

“The War is Worth Waging”: Afghanistan’s Vast Reserves of Minerals and Natural Gas
Michel CHOSSUDOVSKY (Canada) The 2001 bombing and invasion of Afghanistan has been presented to World public opinion as a “Just War”, a war directed against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, a war to eliminate “Islamic terrorism” and instate Western style democracy. The economic dimensions of the “Global War on Terrorism” […]
Afghanistan’s Donor Strategy Crisis

Osh Massacre and International Politics
Andrei ARESHEV (Russia) The massacre in Osh, a city in the southern part of Kyrgyzstan, will have far-reaching consequences for entire Central Asia. There is an array of causes behind the recent developments in Kyrgyzstan. Some of the watchers charge that the clashes were provoked by supporters of the ousted […]
Outside Agitation In Kyrgyzstan
Peter CHAMBERLIN (USA) In Kyrgyzstan, we see the democratic-revolutionary counterpart to America’s “intelligence-driven wars”—rumor-driven confrontations. It can be clearly seen in the so-called “ethnic-conflict” in southern Kyrgyzstan, where ethnic and cultural differences are being amplified by unknown forces firing machine guns from untagged vehicles, young women and old ladies screaming […]
