I've had a few emails from friends and family who knew of my plans to travel to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan this summer expressing their concern. Please don't worry as I have cancelled the trip.
I read this today on Eternal Remont, from from Turkmen Initiative of Human Rights, just one of the heartbreaking stories arising out of this conflict:
About 30 women together with their children were forcedly deported to Uzbekistan from the Sakar etrap of the Lebap velayat in Turkmenistan. All these women are natives of the Bukhara velayat in Uzbekistan, who married Turkmen citizens, lived as married couples for several years and whose children were born here.
neweurasia.net and registan.net are both good sources to follow the latest for those interested.
