I wonder if some of the Uzbeks from the Afghan-Pakistan border have found think to be a little too unpleasant there and have gone home? Could they be behind some of the trouble in Uzbekistan?

Islam Karimov is of the opinion that the rebellion is instigated by Washington to replace him. He also thinks that the Saudi government is working with Washington in this project.

I anticipate that the rebellion is mainly due to the Karimov-clan trying to take control of the economy in Uzbekistan and that the other clans said enough-is-enough.

We should support the eradication of Hizb-ut-Tahrir, and the sharing of power among the clans and an end of the corruption.
