Dodging Communism Since 1995
January 4th, 1997Eastern Rebellions Continue
Having had enough of foreign rule, insurgents in Kazakhstan have unified under a fatwa signed by Imam Muhammad Nursalt to "remove the usurpers and kefirs of Pavlovsk that seek to limit the loving embrace of allah." The Kazakh region has been home to many failed rebellions in the past and it seems unlikely that anything will be different this time. Reporters on the ground seem to think that there is some potential given the density of Islamist groups in the area, with some reports claiming as many as 560,000 active insurgents in central and south Asia.
