The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: the Relevance of Pakistan’S Tribal Areas Experience
The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: The Relevance of Pakistan’s Tribal Areas Experience Svante E. Cornell Maria Sultan October 2002 Svante Cornell is Executive Director and Maria Sultan Pakistan Bureau Director of Cornell Caspian Consulting. Cornell is also Research Director of the Silk Road Studies Program at Uppsala University and Deputy Director of the Central Asia- Caucasus Institute, Johns Hopkins University. Sultan is Senior Fellow at the Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad, Pakistan. The Quest for Peace in Chechnya: The Relevance of Pakistan’s Tribal Areas Experience Though the war in Chechnya has clearly reached a deadlock, there seems to be little hope of a solution. Political analyst almost unanimously believe the war is set to continue for another several years, and few expect any development toward a peaceful resolution before 2004, at the earliest. This war is extremely costly for both sides, and damaging to the regional security of the entire Caucasus region. The blunt of the burden has been borne by Chechen civilians, who have for several years faced Russian aerial bombardment, zachistkas, death and mutilation, poverty and destruction. For Russia, Chechnya is a costly war that it cannot afford, depleting the resources of its military, while the Russian army is sinking ever deeper into chaos, the war thwarting all possible military reform. The military is taking casualties on a continuous basis, casualties that are far higher than it is publicly admitting. Unwilling or unable to find a way out of the war, the Putin administration has instead tried to regionalize the conflict, blaming Georgia for hosting Chechen rebels and threatening to launch a unilateral military intervention on Georgian territory. -

Pakistan – Floods Fact Sheet #14, Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 September 10, 2010 Note: the Last Fact Sheet Was Dated September 7, 2010
BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) Pakistan – Floods Fact Sheet #14, Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 September 10, 2010 Note: The last fact sheet was dated September 7, 2010. KEY DEVELOPMENTS Satellite imagery indicates that nearly 12 percent of Sindh Province remains flooded, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Flooding continues to threaten Dadu and Johi towns where the swollen Indus River enters the Arabian Sea. To protect Dadu and Johi towns, media sources report that irrigation authorities breached a dike and are diverting floodwaters toward Manchar Lake. As a result, rising water in Manchar Lake could cause flooding in parts of Sehwan tehsil in Jamshoro District. Authorities in Nasirabad Division of Baluchistan estimate that approximately 400,000 people are displaced in the area, of which an estimated 50 percent are from Sindh Province. Their ability to return is dependent on the reopening of the Quetta-Jacobabad–Sukkur road, which could take at least two weeks. According to OCHA, the Jacobabad–Shikarpur road has reopened to light traffic. Jacobabad, the largest town in one of the most affected districts of Sindh, has been cut off for 28 days. The seventeenth USAID/OFDA relief flight arrived in Islamabad on September 8, delivering 1,600 rolls of plastic sheeting sufficient to provide temporary shelter for an additional 48,000 people. On September 9, USAID/OFDA committed more than $1.3 million to a non-governmental organization (NGO) to support humanitarian coordination and information management activities in flood-affected areas. -

Dutton Series Overview This China Maritime Report on Gwadar is the second in a series of case studies on China’s Indian Ocean “strategic strongpoints” (战略支点). People’s Republic of China (PRC) officials, military officers, and civilian analysts use the strategic strongpoint concept to describe certain strategically valuable foreign ports with terminals and commercial zones owned and operated by Chinese firms.1 Each case study analyzes a different port on the Indian Ocean, selected to capture geographic, commercial, and strategic variation.2 Each employs the same analytic method, drawing on Chinese official sources, scholarship, and industry reporting to present a descriptive account of the port, its transport infrastructure, the markets and resources it accesses, and its naval and military utility. -
