15年で独裁化したアカエフ氏

 中央アジアの国キルギスのアカエフ政権があっけなく倒れた。グルジアの「バラ革命」、
 ウクライナの「オレンジ革命(カプチーノ革命とも)」に次いで、キルギスでの「イエ
 ロー革命」の可能性が取り沙汰されていた。その通りとなった。事後は「チューリップ

 うか。貧困と汚職・腐敗、失業増大、同族政治とアカエフ一族への富の集中などに対す

 に追い込んだのである。

 アスカル・アカエフ前大統領はもともとは政治に無縁な物理学者だった。九〇年政治に
 関与し始め、翌年のソ連解体の前後には「中央アジアで最も民主的かつ開明的な指導者」
 と評された。九四年クリントン米政権関係者からは「中央アジアのトーマス・ジェファ

 強まるのは世の常だ。アカエフ氏とて例外ではなかった。

 同氏は近年、外からの民主主義の押し付けにも警戒心を隠さなかった。昨年八月初め、
 首都ビシケクでの「二十一世紀のユーラシア会議」の席上、アカエフ大統領(当時)は、
 「民主主義の輸出」を「ボリシェビキ革命の輸出」にたとえ、「押し付けの民主主義の
 輸出」に警告。さらに「もちろん民主主義の発展は一番のテーマであり、時代の使命で
 あるが、ユーラシアは様々な文明が重なり合う大陸であり、国民の力は国内で醸成され
 るべきものである」と力説した。

 野党勢力を厳しく批判するとともに、外国機関の関与をほのめかした。さらに三月末、
 西側メディアとの初の会見で、「反憲法的クーデターの背後に米国が存在していた」と

US scatters bases to control Eurasia
By Ramtanu Maitra 
The United States is beefing up its military presence in Afghanistan, at the
same time encircling Iran. Washington will set up nine new bases in
Afghanistan in the provinces of Helmand, Herat, Nimrouz, Balkh, Khost and
Paktia. 
Reports also make it clear that the decision to set up new US military bases
was made during Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's visit to Kabul last
December.  Subsequently, Afghan President Hamid Karzai accepted the Pentagon
diktat. Not that Karzai had a choice: US intelligence is of the view that he
will not be able to hold on to his throne beyond June unless the US Army can
speed up training of a large number of Afghan army recruits and protect
Kabul. Even today, the inner core of Karzai's security is run by the US
State Department with personnel provided by private US contractors.
Admittedly, Afghanistan is far from stable, even after four years of US
presence. Still, the establishment of a rash of bases would seem to be
overkill. Indeed, according to observers, the base expansion could be part
of a US global military plan calling for small but flexible bases that make
it easy to ferry supplies and can be used in due time as a springboard to
assert a presence far beyond Afghanistan.
Afghanistan under control?
On February 23, according to the official Bakhter News Agency, 196 American
military instructors arrived in Kabul. These instructors are scheduled to be
in Afghanistan until the end of 2006. According to General H Head, commander
of the US Phoenix Joint Working Force, the objective of the team is to
expedite the educational and training programs of Afghan army personnel. The
plan to protect Karzai and the new-found "democracy" in Afghanistan rests on
the creation of a well-trained 70,000-man Afghan National Army (ANA) by the
end of 2006. As of now, 20,000 ANA personnel help out 17,000-plus US troops
and some 5,000-plus North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) troops
currently based in Afghanistan.
In addition, on February 28, in a move to bring a large number of militiamen
into the ANA quickly, Karzai appointed General Abdur Rashid Dostum, a
regional Uzbek-Afghan warlord of disrepute, as his personal military chief
of staff. The list of what is wrong with Dostum is too long for this
article, but he is important to Karzai and the Pentagon.
Dostum has at least 30,000 militiamen, members of his Jumbush-e-Milli, under
him. A quick change of their uniforms would increase the ANA by 30,000 at a
minimal cost. Moreover, Dostum's men do not need military training (what
they do need is some understanding of and respect for law and order).
Another important factor that comes into play with this union is the
Pentagon-Karzai plan to counter the other major north Afghan ethnic
grouping, the Tajik-Afghans.
Since the presidential election took place in Afghanistan last October,
Washington has conveyed repeatedly that the poison fangs of al-Qaeda have
been uprooted and the Taliban is split. There was also reliable news
suggesting that a section of Taliban leaders have accepted the leadership of
two fellow Pashtuns, Karzai and US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, and are
making their way into the Kabul government.
With al-Qaeda defanged and the Taliban split, one would tend to believe that
the Afghan situation is well under control. But then, how does one explain
that a bomb went off in the southern city of Kandahar, killing five people
on March 17, the very day US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice landed in
Kabul on her first visit to Afghanistan? And why has Karzai pushed back the
dates for Afghanistan's historical parliamentary elections, originally
planned for 2004, and then to May 2005, now to September 2005?
One thing that is certainly not under control, and is surely the source of
many threats to the region, is opium production. During the US occupation,
opium production grew at a much faster rate than Washington's, and Karzai's,
enemies weakened. In 2003, US-occupied Afghanistan produced 4,200 tons of
opium. In 2004, US-occupied and semi-democratic Afghanistan produced a
record 4,950 tons, breaking the all-time high of 4,600 tons produced under
the Taliban in the year 2000.
Though the problem is known to the world, the Pentagon refuses to deal with
it. It is not the military's job to eradicate poppy fields, says the
Pentagon. Indeed, it would antagonize the warlords who remain the mainstays
of the Pentagon in Afghanistan, say observers.
Back on the base
When all is said and done, one cannot but wonder why the new military bases
are being set up. Given that al-Qaeda is only a shadow of the past, the
Taliban leaders are queuing up to join the Kabul government, and the US
military is not interested in tackling the opium explosion, why are the
bases needed? 
A ray of light was shed on this question during the recent trip to
Afghanistan by five US senators, led by John McCain. On February 22, McCain,
accompanied by Senators Hillary Clinton, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham and
Russ Feingold, held talks with Karzai.
After the talks, McCain, the No 2 Republican on the Senate Armed Services
Committee, said he was committed to a "strategic partnership that we believe
must endure for many, many years". McCain told reporters in Kabul that
America's strategic partnership with Afghanistan should include "permanent
bases" for US military forces. A spokesman for the Afghan president told
news reporters that establishing permanent US bases required approval from
the yet-to-be-created Afghan parliament.
Later, perhaps realizing that the image that Washington would like to
project of Afghanistan is that of a sovereign nation, McCain's office
amended his comments with a clarification: "The US will need to remain in
Afghanistan to help the country rid itself of the last vestiges of Taliban
and al-Qaeda." His office also indicated that what McCain meant was that the
US needs to make a long-term commitment, not necessarily "permanent" bases.
On March 16, General Richard Myers, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of
Staff, said no decision had been reached on whether to seek permanent bases
on Afghan soil. "But clearly we've developed good relationships and good
partnerships in this part of the world, not only in Afghanistan," he added,
also mentioning existing US bases in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
A military pattern
But this is mere word play. Media reports coming out of the South Asian
subcontinent point to a US intent that goes beyond bringing Afghanistan
under control, to playing a determining role in the vast Eurasian region. In
fact, one can argue that the landing of US troops in Afghanistan in the
winter of 2001 was a deliberate policy to set up forward bases at the
crossroads of three major areas: the Middle East, Central Asia and South
Asia. Not only is the area energy-rich, but it is also the meeting point of
three growing powers - China, India and Russia.
On February 23, the day after McCain called for "permanent bases" in
Afghanistan, a senior political analyst and chief editor of the Kabul
Journal, Mohammad Hassan Wulasmal, said, "The US wants to dominate Iran,
Uzbekistan and China by using Afghanistan as a military base."
Other recent developments cohere with a US Air Force strategy to expand its
operational scope across Afghanistan and the Caspian Sea region - with its
vital oil reserves and natural resources: Central Asia, all of Iran, the
Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the northern Arabian Sea up to
Yemen's Socotra Islands. This may also provide the US a commanding position
in relation to Pakistan, India and the western fringes of China.
The base set up at Manas outside Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan - where,
according to Central Asian reports, about 3,000 US troops are based - looks
to be part of the same military pattern. It embodies a major commitment to
maintain not just air operations over Afghanistan for the foreseeable
future, but also a robust military presence in the region well after the
war. 
Prior to setting up the Manas Air Base, the US paid off the Uzbek government
handsomely to set up an air base in Qarshi Hanabad. Qarshi Hanabad holds
about 1,500 US soldiers, and agreements have been made for the use of Tajik
and Kazakh airfields for military operations. Even neutral Turkmenistan has
granted permission for military overflights. Ostensibly, the leaders of
these Central Asian nations are providing military facilities to the US to
help them eradicate the Islamic and other sorts of terrorists that threaten
their nations. 
These developments, particularly setting up bases in Manas and Qarshi
Hanabad, are not an attempt by the US to find an exit strategy for
Afghanistan, but the opposite: establishing a military presence.
Encircling Iran 
On February 28, Asia Times Online pointed out that construction work had
begun on a new NATO base in Herat, western Afghanistan (US digs in deeper in
Afghanistan ). Another Asia Times Online article said US officials had
confirmed that they would like more military bases in the country, in
addition to the use of bases in Pakistan (see The remaking of al-Qaeda ,
February 25). 
Last December, US Army spokesman Major Mark McCann said the United States
was building four military bases in Afghanistan that would only be used by
the Afghan National Army. On that occasion, McCann stated, "We are building
a base in Herat. It is true." McCann added that Herat was one of four bases
being built; the others were in the southern province of Kandahar, the
southeastern city of Gardez in Paktia province, and Mazar-i-Sharif, the
northern city controlling the main route to central Afghanistan.
The US already has three operational bases inside Afghanistan; the main
logistical center for the US-led coalition in Afghanistan is Bagram Air
Field north of Kabul - known by US military forces as "BAF". Observers point
out that Bagram is not a full-fledged air base.
Other key US-run logistical centers in Afghanistan include Kandahar Air
Field, or "KAF", in southern Afghanistan and Shindand Air Field in the
western province of Herat. Shindand is about 100 kilometers from the border
with Iran, a location that makes it controversial. Moreover, according to
the US-based think-tank Global Security, Shindand is the largest air base in
Afghanistan. 
The US is spending US$83 million to upgrade its bases at Bagram and
Kandahar. Both are being equipped with new runways. US Brigadier General Jim
Hunt, the commander of US air operations in Afghanistan, said at a news
conference in Kabul Monday, "We are continuously improving runways,
taxiways, navigation aids, airfield lighting, billeting and other facilities
to support our demanding mission."
The proximity of Shindand to Iran could give Tehran cause for concern, says
Paul Beaver, an independent defense analyst based in London. Beaver points
out that with US ships in the Persian Gulf and Shindand sitting next to
Iran, Tehran has a reason to claim that Washington is in the process of
encircling Iran. But the US plays down the potential of Shindand, saying it
will not remain with the US for long. Still, it has not been lost on Iranian
strategists that the base in the province of Herat is a link in a formidable
chain of new facilities the US is in the process of drawing around their
country. 
Shindand is not Tehran's only worry. In Pakistan, the Pervez Musharraf
government has allowed the commercial airport at Jacobabad, about 420km
north of Karachi and 420km southeast of Kandahar, as one of three Pakistani
bases used by US and allied forces to support their campaign in Afghanistan.
The other bases are at Dalbandin and Pasni. Under the terms of an agreement
with Pakistan, the allied forces can use these bases for search and rescue
missions, but are not permitted to use them to stage attacks on Taliban
targets. Both Jacobabad and Pasni bases have been sealed off and a
five-kilometer cordon set up around the bases by Pakistani security forces.
Reports of increased US operations in Pakistan go back to March 2004, when
two air bases - Dalbandin and Shahbaz - in Pakistan were the focus for
extensive movements to provide logistical support for Special Forces and
intelligence operations. Shahbaz Air Base near Jacobabad appeared to be the
key to the United States' 2004 spring offensive. At Jacobabad, C-17
transports were reportedly involved in the daily deliveries of supplies. A
report in the Pakistani newspaper the Daily Times on March 10, 2004, claimed
that the air base was under US control, with an inner ring of facilities off
limits to Pakistan's military.
