Twenty-nine new houses 130,000 somonis (TJS) each have been built for Isfarans affected by a late clash along the disputed segment of the Tajik-Kyrgyz border.
Sughd governor Rajabboy Ahmadzoda has handed over the keys to new houses to 17 families in Somoiyon village and 12 families in Khoja Alo village.
Marouf Muhammadzoda, the chief of the regional commission for elimination of the consequences of a border clash in Sughd province, says 22 houses have been destroyed completely and more than 130 other houses have been damaged partially during the latest clash along the Tajik-Kyrgyz border.
The latest clash along Tajikistan’s common border with Kyrgyzstan that took place in late April was the bloodiest one in the region over the past 20 years. The countries have agreed a complete ceasefire after the worst violence in decades along the Tajik-Kyrgyz border that killed 55 people and wounded more than 300 other people.
The clash has reportedly brought mutual hostility from the previous local level to a national scale in both countries. Thus, in a recent study by the International Republican Institute, Kyrgyz society cited neighboring Tajikistan as the country with which they have the worst relations.
