CONTINUE WATCHING: bit.ly TRANSCRIPT AND SOURCES: www.corbettreport.com The Manas Air Base, situated near the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek, has played a key role in the increasingly important Central Asian region since its inception. First opened in December 2001 to support the US-led invasion of Afghanistan, the Manas Air Base plays host to the US Ninth Air Force and serves primarily as a transit point for US goods and personnel coming and going from Afghanistan. As part of the so-called Northern Distribution Network, a key supply route for NATO troops in Afghanistan that bypasses the now-blockaded Pakistani borders, Manas continues to be a strategically vital asset for the US. At the same time, the base has also been a point of contention with the locals for years, and the controversy doesn't seem likely to die down any time soon. Find out more about Manas and the nexus of drugs, revolution and terrorism in Kyrgyzstan in this week's Eyeopener report.

Speech at a Russian Airbase October 23, 2003 Kant, Kyrgyzstan Выступление на российской авиационной базе 23 октября 2003 года Кант, Киргизия VLADIMIR PUTIN: Mr President, friends, Today we are opening the Russian airbase in the city of Kant. This is a key event in the advancing development of Russian-Kyrgyz relations, and, what is particularly important, in the consolidation of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation and the growth of our collective efforts in the war on international terrorism. The military and political situation in Central Asia is generally stable today. At the same time, we must not shut our eyes to the danger of terrorist invasions from the outside. In these conditions, opening the airbase at Kant is a necessary and timely measure. A measure that will help resolve both national and collective tasks that stand before the CSTO. I expect that this will create a good basis for cooperation, and become a deterrent for terrorists and extremists of all kinds. Let us remember President Akayev and I have just talked about this the events of 1999 and 2000, when terrorists entered the country as if it were their own home, created chaos here and killed people. If the base had been here then, the events would have developed more favourably for us. I do not doubt this for a second. For us in Russia, the war on terrorism is not an empty phrase. Today marks a year since the tragic events when terrorists took hostages at the Dubrovka Theatre in Moscow. This is a ...

Kyrgyzstan says the United States plans to build another military base for training local troops to assist in the fight against international terrorism. In Kyrgyzstan, many opposition politicians and independent journalists have been arrested, prosecuted, attacked and even killed. The United States has remained largely silent in response to this wave of violence, apparently wary of jeopardizing the status of its already established air base in Manas.

RussiaToday: www.russiatoday.com February 3, 2009, 20:17 Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev explained the decision with economic considerations and the negative public attitude. Still, Russia and Kyrgyzstan will continue cooperating with the United States on Afghanistan after the closure of the US airbase in the ex-Soviet Central Asian state, the Russian president said on Tuesday. "We could join our efforts to promote regions stability and our countries will help the operations underway in the region. We are ready for coordinated action," said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, adding that the decision to close the Manas base was up to Kyrgyzstan. Manas airport in Bishkek has been home to a thousand-strong American airbase since 2001, the year Kyrgyzstan joined the anti-terror coalition set up after 9/11. The US base used to be the main hub for moving men, equipment and supplies to US and allied forces operating in nearby Afghanistan because of its 90-minute flying time to the war, instead of seven hours from other launching areas. US march towards Asia The September 11 attacks made Central Asia the region of high importance for the US Department of Defense. Straight after these shocking events the United States found Manas base to be useful for Afghan operations. First of all, it is attractive because of its 90-minute flying time to the war, instead of seven hours from other launching areas. The base was named after Chief Peter Ganci Jr. of the New York City Fire ...

The captured ringleader of the Jundallah terrorist group, Abdolmalek Rigi, has confessed that the US administration had assured him of unlimited military aid and funding for waging an insurgency against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The following is the detailed transcript of Rigi's confession, stated in Farsi, as broadcasted on Press TV. "After Obama was elected, the Americans contacted us and they met me in Pakistan.They met us after clashes with my group around March 17 in (the southeastern city of) Zahedan, and he (the US operative) said that Americans had requested a meeting." "I said we didn't have any time for a meeting and if we do help them they should promise to give us aid. They said they would cooperate with us and will give me military equipment, arms and machine guns. They also promised to give us a base along the border with Afghanistan next to Iran." "They asked to meet me and we said where should we meet you and he said in Dubai. We sent someone to Dubai and we told a person to ask a place for myself in Afghanistan from the area near the operations and they complied that they would sort out the problem for us and they will find Mr. Rigi a base and guarantee his own security in Afghanistan or in any of the countries adjacent to Iran so that he can carry on his operations. "They told me that in Kyrgyzstan they have a base called Manas near Bishkek, and that a high-ranking person was coming to meet me and that if such high-ranking people come to the United ...

The Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan has its own unique brand of Islam. Now, it has opened its doors to more fundamentalist strains of the religion. But will it help defuse social tensions, or lead to radicalization and the erosion of freedoms? The spectacle of tens of thousands of Kyrgyz men praying in the capital's central square, just underneath the Vladimir Lenin monument, says much about Kyrgyzstan. Even in its heyday, Communist ideology was never able to mobilize as many people as Islam does nowadays. But the unity of Muslims at prayer masks the vast differences in theology and lifestyle that exist among various branches of Islam in Kyrgyzstan. Over the past decade, the country has become a testing ground for Islamic missionaries of all kinds. Some of them have less in common with each other than they do with Jews or Christians. Kyrgyz people converted to Islam in the 17th century but they were never over-zealous about their faith. Mixed with shamanism and nomadic customs, the Kyrgyz version of Islam has long been more of a moral code than a religious doctrine. It has helped shape a society where women are just as active and ambitious as men, and where religiosity went hand in hand with a good education. Now, though, that is starting to change. "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan has seen a very fast growth of Islam. Some of it is domestically driven -- poverty, poor education, corruption, mistrust of authorities -- all of that is prodding people ...
