Plans for the United States to construct an anti-terror training center in southern Kyrgyzstan have collapsed. The demise of the project raises concerns about stabilization prospects in southern Kyrgyzstan, a region that is still searching to regain a sense of equilibrium following an outburst of inter-ethnic violence in June. The Osh Polygon -- a facility projected to cost upwards of $10 million, designed to train security forces in urban combat techniques -- was advertised as a pre-solicitation on the US government’s Federal Business Opportunities website on June 19. On August 25, the project was abruptly cancelled. (Eurasia Net)
