	CENTRAL ASIA - CAUCASUS ANALYST
		Badakhshan’s future development depends to a great extent on the connection to broader Central Asian food, fabrics, labor market and industry.
		The once-famous ‘Highway of Life’, the Pamir Highway, was the main route through which humanitarian aid flowed from the Osh region of Kyrgyzstan into Badakhshan.

	Pamirs - the roof of the world
		Badakhshan, sometimes spelled "Badakshan", was known by medieval Arab and European writers as "Balascian"; the name "balas" ruby, mentioned by Marco Polo, is still found in gemmology and defines the "lale badakhshan" that was then considered the finest form of ruby (technically spinel) and is still mined in Gorno-Badakhshan.
		With support from the southern region of Kulyab (and, it is claimed, of the Russian military forces stationed in Tajikistan), the leaders of the government faction defeated the opposition coalition forces recruited essentially from fighters of Pamiri (Gorno-Badakhshan) and Garmi (Karategin/Rasht) origin.
		Contrary to misleading press reports that continue to today, Gorno-Badakhshan was not at any time since 1992 a home or hotbed of hardline Islamic opposition.

		Up to a hundred IMT members are hiding in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous region, in the villages of Khushad, Khevaspor, and Ayvanj, in the Shaartuz district of the Khatlon and Sogd regions of Tajikistan.
		In a time of desperate needs for economic transformation and reforms, when all countries of the region, especially Afghanistan, need stability in order to attract foreign investments and rebuild their national economies, some forces are intent on destabilizing the regional situation.
		With the ongoing deterioration of the security situation in Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorist groups and their sponsors are feeling reinvigorated, and are acquiring the courage to base themselves in Kashmir and Tajikistan, as well as in Afghanistan itself, with a view to stage hit and run operations.

	Afghanistan Factor in Central and South Asian Politics
		The Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast, which is populated by the Ismailis and where the influence of Islamist groups has been strong, declared itself as Badakhshan Autonomous Republic in April 1992.
		An Islamic field commander in Gorno Badakhshan was quoted by Interfax as saying that 15,000 Afghan trained Tajik mujahideen had infiltrated Tajikistan, which was in addition to several groups of 70 to 300 men undergoing training in Afghanistan.
		One may be skeptical about the claim of IRP leader, M.S.Himatzade that "more than fifty percent of Tajik territory was now in hands of the alliance of four main resistance parties", but there is no denying the fact that the Tajik Islamic militants and their Afghan mujahideen allies are preparing to launch fresh offensive.

	CENTRAL ASIA AND THE CAUCASUS Journal of Social and Political Studies
		In January 2005, the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) will mark its 80th anniversary as part of the Republic of Tajikistan: in historical terms it is not much—measured by individual lives, however, it is a lot.
		From that time on and until November 1918 supreme power in the region belonged to the military; after a revolution performed by soldiers, workers and hired agricultural laborers power was transferred to the newly created Revolutionary Committee, the first body of Soviet power in Gorny Badakhshan.
		As a result of ethnic and territorial delineation in Central Asia Gorny Badakhshan was made an autonomous region within the newly formed Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

		Since then, deliveries to the region from food stores run by the Aga Khan have ceased, but he is still putting significant resources into the development of a social infrastructure in the autonomous region, and also into the local education system.
		The Pamirs are much less devout than the Sunni Tajiks and, although up to 1997 this region was also controlled by the opposition, the Pamirs did not try to regulate their lives in line with Shariah law, unlike the neighbouring districts of Tajikistan's mountain regions.
		During Tajikistan's bitter civil war, which raged from 1992-6, it was immigrants from this region who supported the Tajik opposition, one branch of which was made up of supporters of the Islamic Renewal Party (IRP), whose aim is the protection of Muslims' rights.
