Brief Central Asia update

Afghanistan is slightly outside what we usually think of as Central Asia, but is firmly geographically in it. Al Jazeera ran an update on the war against drug production.

Human Rights Watch reports on the situation for women in Kyrgyzstan.

Maybe most important and interesting in this selection is the interviews with the Swedish journalist who reported from Andijan in Uzbekistan - here from Svenska Dagbladet. We never went to the Ferghana valley during our visit earlier this year, but having seen the country it still feels urgent.
