          This week, the head of the CSTO said that Tajikistan needs help and will provide it. The intrigue is different, all this happens before the meeting of the Collective Security Council, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), which will be held on September 14-15 on September 2015 in Dushanbe.

          Given the approaching event and what is happening with the neighbors, I believe that the security forces have not finalized and this has led to casualties.

            And how to strengthen it? Maybe we will build a wall, and we will borrow experience from the ancient Chinese. And who will replace migrant workers at construction sites? maybe you personally will make your contribution for three pennies, or we will drop our salary in Russia so that their vacancies seem sweet.

      Here is what they write:
      “The attackers are a group of people close to and relatives of an 23-year-old student, Umar Bobodzhonov,” said a source in the Tajik Interior Ministry.
      Bobodzhanov, a student at St. Petersburg State University, who was on vacation in Tajikistan, was taken to 28 in August to Vahdat ATS for wearing a beard. 29 August he was hospitalized with multiple injuriesn The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan ordered an official investigation into this fact. 3 September, the young man died.

      A source previously reported that the attack on the police station in Dushanbe was committed under the leadership of the former head of the mobilization department of the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan Dzhunaydullo Umarov

      Well, that’s what we have been warned about for so long and tediously - terrorists trained and armed with the CIA and Mossad are already in the underbelly of our country in Central Asia and if we don’t do anything they will arrange for us a new Libya or Syria.
      And perhaps soon we and our children will have to repel the attacks of bandits on our country, while in the USA and Israel they will "rub their hands and laugh" with pleasure.

    This was to be expected. I previously said that if ISIS begins an invasion of Central Asia, it will be done through Tajikistan.

And also, do not forget that the situation in Tajikistan is depressing. and a lot of young people simply do not have work. as they say there you can stir up the water.

    In the 90s, the Russian Air Force assault regiments were deployed on a rotationally rotational basis either at the airfield in Dushanbe or in Uzbekistan at the Kokaida airfield (40 km north-east of Termez).
    A new stage began on July 24, 1993, when the 186th ISHAP of the Russian Air Force was transferred to the Kokaydy airfield (Uzbekistan). This was a response to the deaths of 25 Russian border guards at the 12th outpost. The regiment by that time was armed with Su-25BM and UB attack aircraft. The personnel were represented by the instructors of the Borisoglebsk Aviation Training Center. All the pilots went through Afghanistan, and before arriving here, he was based in the zone of the Georgian-Abkhz conflict and carried out tasks of direct support of Russian units in this "hot spot". Running a little ahead, it is worth saying that then it was the pilots of this regiment who were the first to begin combat missions to Chechnya in 1994.

    http://www.strizhi.ru/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1115234674/375

    The first days became the most stressful: the pilots had to carry out several sorties per day. In addition to NAR and bombs, aircraft carried without fail
    two R-60 melee missiles, as a collision in the air with Afghan fighters was not ruled out.
    The typical load was six OFAB-250 and two R-60 missiles. At that time, several well-armed rebel groups and Afghan mujahideen marched through several induced crossings across the Pyanj River into the depths of Tajikistan. Attack aircraft attacked armed opposition units, ferries across the Panj, enemy firing positions on both banks of the river.
    It was the decisive actions of Russian aviators that turned the tide of events at the border. However, the living conditions were very difficult: the usual disorder — lack of drinking water, lack of air conditioning — added to the heat.
    In addition, they themselves had to bear the protection of the airfield and the restoration of the normal functioning of all navigation systems. In September 1993, the government presented some pilots for high awards, including the regiment commander, Colonel Alexei Golovin.

    Old conflicts were revealed - either civil war or clans.

    The current president of the country does not differ much from the Russian, Ukrainian or American presidents in his criminality - perhaps the "rebellious" general is a consequence of the level of corruption and criminality in the government, which was organized by Emomali Rahmon himself - and for which he now "rakes" problems.

    In general, if it were a gang - the government of Tajikistan could once again turn to the 201st for support - and the "intelligence agents" (hello to Dushanbe residents :)) as part of the first company would also go to the mountains, for a couple of months - to find and eliminate the gang.
    And also, as in 2011, Comrade Putin would later fly to Dushanbe, with awards and medals - to reward heroes.

    But, here the already existing president of Tajikistan is opposed by supposedly more than a hundred fighters of the Tajik DShB - at the time of the entire reconnaissance battalion of the Russian military base to "do business", or simply even provide air and ground support to the Tajik army - for which it would not be useless now (with ideological point of view) personally "punish" terrorists.

They killed everyone and everything, just to blame each other, since our 201st motorized rifle was based in the city. I sat for a week without food, cigarettes.

    If it is still relevant - there is a reverse infa that after all this is not anyone's tricks, and not the old struggle of the "opposition" - former separatists - with the current government, but the essence of the thing is much more prosaic - the personal "reticence" of the current president of the Republic of Tatarstan directly with this "disgraced" general now.

    The bottom line is that the official, being from the opposition, at one time supported the current president - and not so easily, of course, but for reciprocal help.
    I don’t know how they did business during all this time before the “quarrel” happened, and it is hardly possible to find out from a superficial analysis of the country's short history, but the fact is that President Emomali simply stopped providing the promised support opposition, and then completely broke any connection with him.

    How the "former friend" reacted is also a little-known topic, but as a fact - it was not he, the general, who started any "war" with the "regime" (he didn’t need it at all, he just wanted to either restore contact, or at least just clearly understand from a friend that he no longer needed him, and take up some personal affairs, life, and not state), and President Rahmon launched an "undeclared Hitler War" against him, and the information from the Tajik media coming to us, to Russia, as well as the local "zombie" on TV, is supposedly a "fictitious cover" for the real actions of a "corrupt tyrant".
