Hello Shirvan, This is a great video as usual, I wasn’t expecting to see a geopolitics of a central Asian country. I was wondering if you are planning on doing a video about the geopolitics of Morocco and the other North African countries?
Uzbekistan’s central location reminds me of Turkeys. Both have difficulty with internal unity although Uzbekistan’s is because of terrain while Turkeys is because of ethnic strife. Both have a central location in there regions because of trade.
OMG my grandfather is going to love this, my grandfather currently works as the Ambassador of the OSCE mission to Uzbekistan. Love your shit man! Keep it up!
@Jože Ws Probably a misunderstanding of what I meant due to errors in translation so I'll let it slide. But to clarify I'm not calling what he is doing shit, and the word is not meant to be taken literally.
It's called the great game. The Great Game - also known as Bolshaya Igra - was an intense rivalry between the British and Russian Empires in Central Asia, beginning in the nineteenth century and continuing through 1907 wherein Britain sought to influence or control much of Central Asia to buffer the "crown jewel" of its empire: British India. by Kallie Szczepanski
I spent 3 months working in Uzbekistan, from far Western desert area to the southern mountains bordering Afghanistan. Tashkent was an interesting place, fruit and nut markets were amazing.
Thank you for the amazing breakdown! One thing I realised watching this video: I've heard before that just the Ferghana valley has comparable population to the whole of Kazakhstan, however I didn't put two and two together and realise Uzbekistan has a larger population than Kazakhstan! This suddenly put so many things in context. I too by the way, recommend brain4breakfast's video on Uzbekistan
This is the most interesting video I have ever seen on RUclips. I traveled several Central asian countries, but not Uzbekistan and this video is eye opening. I traveled Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan (and Pakistan, China).
Most people in Uzbekistan are Tajiks in my experience, brilliant place , Tashkent has been fantastically rebuilt by the soviets . Highly recommend a visit >They were lucky to have the soviets , their neighbours in Pakistan had the British and people are still crapping on the streets there. And so many Ubekistan cosmanauts
Two big faults in the video, far less than half of Uzbekistan lives in the Fergana valley and there is a road across the mountains connecting it directly to Tashkent of the same size as the road going through Tajikistan.
A/alikum broh! I love your videos. They are very impressive and contains so much information. I myself from Kazakhstan, and plz make a video about our country too based on recent events. Sag ol!)
Tajikistan should take advantage of the traffic going through their country from the Fergana Valley to Tashkent. Don't restrict anyone's movement, just charge a reasonable road toll.
@jacob I'm a Türkmen from Afghanistan, it will happen brother, i dont know when but it will happen because people already want a unified Central Asia for turks
@jacob the main obstacle on the course of a unified Central Asia is Russia, they'll kill kidnap whoever tries to even bring the idea of turkic nationalism in central asia, but still the idea actually exists in every central asian's mind that you can have a single prosperous Türkistan instead of several weak nation states that can be easily taken down if they show any signs of Independent ideas, but i as a turkmen who's gonna be a part of this great country if it every were to form will do my part will it military service or working a factory I'm ready to sacrifice everything for the greater good and just like me there are millions of other fellow turks that will do the same if not more, all we need is someone to lead us!
@jacob the word turkmen was actually the universal term to all of the turkic people it was only after the Russians came along and gave them different names as a part their divide and conquer strategy, but now turkmen is mostly referred to any one who's a citizen of Türkmenistan and people who are part of the oghuz branch of the turkic people, the relation of the turkic people to each other is solely based on culture and language, basically they all were once nomadic tribes that unified under one huge tribal Confederation that formed the gokturks and after the collapse of this great empire they all now shared a common identity and went conquering vast amounts of land creating great empires such as the ottomans khazars timureds the mughals and many more and because of these conquests they were spread thin but still share a common language and can understand each other to some degree, which is amazing when you consider the fact that these people were away from each other for so long!

Highly recommend a visit >They were lucky to have the soviets , their neighbours in Pakistan had the British and people are still crapping on the streets there. And so many Ubekistan cosmanauts
You don't know anything about Uzbekistan
Could you give info about Afghan Geo Politics including ( Current government and its policies ) ( and about peace negotiations ) thank you!
Excellent video!
Two big faults in the video, far less than half of Uzbekistan lives in the Fergana valley and there is a road across the mountains connecting it directly to Tashkent of the same size as the road going through Tajikistan.
Not half but third part of population
A/alikum broh! I love your videos. They are very impressive and contains so much information. I myself from Kazakhstan, and plz make a video about our country too based on recent events. Sag ol!)
Issa Bazarbay Have you watched movie by great Kazakh patriot Borat? Very nice movie!
Tajikistan should take advantage of the traffic going through their country from the Fergana Valley to Tashkent. Don't restrict anyone's movement, just charge a reasonable road toll.
these nations should form a Union
@@roypinas2102 Tajikistan is Persian and so is 30% of uzbekistan.
@jacob I'm a Türkmen from Afghanistan, it will happen brother, i dont know when but it will happen because people already want a unified Central Asia for turks
@jacob the main obstacle on the course of a unified Central Asia is Russia, they'll kill kidnap whoever tries to even bring the idea of turkic nationalism in central asia, but still the idea actually exists in every central asian's mind that you can have a single prosperous Türkistan instead of several weak nation states that can be easily taken down if they show any signs of Independent ideas, but i as a turkmen who's gonna be a part of this great country if it every were to form will do my part will it military service or working a factory I'm ready to sacrifice everything for the greater good and just like me there are millions of other fellow turks that will do the same if not more, all we need is someone to lead us!
@jacob the word turkmen was actually the universal term to all of the turkic people it was only after the Russians came along and gave them different names as a part their divide and conquer strategy, but now turkmen is mostly referred to any one who's a citizen of Türkmenistan and people who are part of the oghuz branch of the turkic people, the relation of the turkic people to each other is solely based on culture and language, basically they all were once nomadic tribes that unified under one huge tribal Confederation that formed the gokturks and after the collapse of this great empire they all now shared a common identity and went conquering vast amounts of land creating great empires such as the ottomans khazars timureds the mughals and many more and because of these conquests they were spread thin but still share a common language and can understand each other to some degree, which is amazing when you consider the fact that these people were away from each other for so long!
Nice work brother I just love ur reports it is
So informative thnx

'Hindu' India has become very powerful that she can crush any muslim country in the world including Turkey, Pakistan and Iran.
Muslim Pakistan is begging around for money to run their economy. Without oil, Muslims cannot feed their stomachs.
@@Bottlekiller I don't understand why has this comment offended some Pakistanis and Bangladeshis .It's like saying 'Hey Japan, show me your Tokyo or hey India, show me your Delhi or hey Porkistan show me you bhosdaislamabad 😂 .I don't understand why are Pakistanis bringing religion in this. What's wrong in this comment? Central Asian countries are good allies of India. I don't think any Indian will say anything bad against any central Asian country.....
@@TurboFisto7 Dude your surname is 'Choudhary' .This is a Hindu surname and your name is arabic ,now tell me who accepted slavery ? You literally sucked their as * and converted while my ancestors fought and today I still follow dharma unlike your ancestors who became slaves and got converted 😂😂😂
Maybe a video on the origins of the Fergana Valley division would be in order? As always, good work!
Uhh some of the info of Uzbekistan you said in the beginning wasn’t true (insurgency in Uzbekistan?) I worked there for a programming company. Uzbekistan is pretty beautiful, nice people, great food, and definitely no Terrorists
Muscle Boi there wasn’t any problems. Closest thing to problem is with Afghan border. I was in every corner of the country. If you do your own research instead of believing everything you see online it’ll help you become smarter. I promise you 🙌🏻
Such great videos. Thank you so much, your work is much appreciated my friend.
Love ❤️ Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
Wow. Your videos are amazing!!!
Man please make video about Kyrgyzstan Geoplitics!
