Despite repeated incidents over the last year, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan remain unable to settle their Fergana valley border. A meeting last week between the two sides resulted in a draft agreement on 519.9 kilometers of the border but Bishkek and Dushanbe have been unable to agree on disputed sections. Both countries also have unresolved border issues with Uzbekistan, with which they share patchwork borders in the fertile Fergana valley, home to a growing population.
