Kyrgyzstan & Tajikistan agree complete cessation of hostilities after border flare-up prompted by dispute over access to water


Follow RT on
Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan both agreed to cease all hostilities and withdraw troops from their shared border on Saturday following several days of clashes between the militaries of the two Central Asian countries.
The former Soviet republics have conflicting territorial claims over a water distribution point on the Isfara River. On Wednesday, a quarrel between Kyrgyz and Tajik civilians in that area escalated into a full blown military standoff.
The fighting, which continued on Thursday, left over 40 people dead and around 200 injured on both sides. Bishkek and Dushanbe agreed a truce later on that day, but it didn’t hold, with more skirmishes between Kyrgyz and Tajik forces taking place on Friday.
