British Empire's Warfare Raging Though South and Central Asia

July 8th, 2009

From (LPAC)

The British Empire is waging hot warfare throughout South and Central Asia, from Xinjiang in western China, through Afghanistan-Pakistan, to the North Caucasus region of Russia, as the Obama Administration's insane surge policy gets underway. Today alone, seven U.S. troops died in Afghanistan, four of them in a roadside bombing in the allegedly less violent northern region.

The latest outbreak, the violent riots which last night killed at least 156 people and wounded over 1,000 in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang autonomous region in far western China, is part of this war. Thousands of hard-core militants who were operating in Pakistan's border regions, have been forced out of their bases by the attacks by the Pakistani Army, and have moved back into Central Asia. There are some 10,000 of these hard-core militants, and the various groups, supported by Saudi funds and recruitment operations, are expanding, according to regional intelligence sources. Few of the governments have any capability to deal with these militants, who are supported by the opium-trafficking operations which run through the Fergana Valley, and other routes. Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, in particular, are extremely poor, and borders are almost impossible to control in this huge mountainous region.

About 1,000 of these militants ousted from Pakistan are ethnic Uygurs, who are fighting against China for an independent East Turkestan. The Chinese authorities are holding the exiled separatist World Uyghur Congress responsible for inciting the riots, and for attempts to spread violence to Kashgar and other cities today, but these are under tight control at this time. Chinese authorities also recently warned about the unprecedented increase in opium trafficking from Afghanistan.

** On June 8, Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiev warned of the effects of the conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan on the region. He stated the seriousness of the situation there, and then said: "If the conflict against the Taliban further deepens in Afghanistan, then where will they escape? God save us, but they could move towards Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan," the Asia Times reported.

Kyrgyzstan has been attempting to increase security on its borders¸and reported a battle with Taliban fighters on June 23. Uzbekistan, which has been warning about increased attacks from the banned Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, is now digging trenches on its border with Kyrgyzstan.

NATO head Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said on June 25 that the fighting in Afghanistan and Pakistan may be sending militants into Central Asia, in an interview from the NATO security conference in Astana, Kazakhstan. "If extremists want to cross borders into Central Asia to continue their horrific work there, NATO cannot possibly stop that," the Daily Times reported.

** Fighting is also increasing in Russia's North Caucasus region. On July 4 in Ingushetia, militants ambushed and killed 9 Chechen policemen helping the Ingush police force. On June 22, a suicide bomber had badly wounded President Yunus-Bek Yevkurov and killed several others. Earlier in June, a Supreme Court judge and a former Deputy Prime Minister of Ingushetia, and the Interior Minister of Dagestan, Adilgirei Magomedtagirov, were all assassinated. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that Moscow's response to the attacks will be "direct and brutal," and has called on Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov to lead the fight against the terror insurgency in the region, which has taken the lives of a number of Russian soldiers and others recently. The situation in neighboring Georgia remains volatile.

** Meanwhile, all the lies about "victory" in Iraq are being exposed by the ever-mounting death toll there, as U.S. forces pulled out of urban areas in late June. Some 447 people were killed in bombings in Iraq last month, after 63 were killed in May, 216 in April, with many scores more wounded every month.
