Mark, Tajikistan are the window to Tibet independence and 6.5 million people, smaller that Afghanistan similar but also turbulent

A peace agreement among rival factions was signed in 1997, and implementation reportedly completed by late 1999. Part of the agreement required the legalization of opposition political parties prior to the 1999 elections, which occurred, but such parties have made little progress in successful participation in government. Random criminal and political violence in the country remains a complication impairing Tajikistan's ability to engage internationally.

Did not seen it on SI but has any one evaluate the possibility that Afghanistan / Tajikistan could serve as territory trough which the oil from the Caspian Sea basin and Kazachstan would be transferred to Northern India, Pakistan and Western China ??

If they designed a oil pipe line to cross the Caucasus and the Anatolia mountains in Turkey to deliver crude oil at the Mediterranean shores why not to India ??
