Untitled[edit]

article is lacking pre-russo history. see Alexander the Great, Ta-Yuan, and Greco-Buddhism. 12.20.127.229 14:17, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"At the beginning of the 21st century, the Ferghana Valley came to be regarded as a center of radical Islam. Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan all shared a common enemy in the Afghan Wahhabi militants who, under the auspices of the Afghan Taliban, were believed to be amassing greater operational capability with an ultimate goal of destabilizing Central Asia. In early August 2000—while radical Muslims were transferring supplies and men to strategic locations in Uzbekistan and making attacks on Uzbek government airplanes, helicopters, artillery, and fighting vehicles—that government attacked them in the Farghana Valley in an engagement lasting several days. Hundreds of terrorist suspects were arrested as a result."

I have removed this passage as it is both ungrammatical and far from neutral. The article is about the town of Fergana in any case, not about the valley. I also think the idea that the Uzbek, Tajik and Kyrgyz regimes have many interests in common in the region risible, particularly given the Uzbek regime's aggressive and intransigent attitude towards Kyrgyzstan, and the closed borders between these three countries. The question of just how strong radical Islam is in Ferghana, and how far talk of 'Wahhabi' militants is Uzbek Government propaganda put about to justify repressive policies, is highly politicised. We just don't know enough one way or the other yet, so I think this had better come off. Sikandarji 18:20, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
