Great Central Asia book recommendations from Joanna
What to read about Central Asia on World Book Day? Top recommendations include these by authors @tkassenova, Bagila Bukharbayeva, Sarah Cameron, Mukhamet Shayakhmetov - + pre-order Cold Kitchen by @edentravels - + read my book #DarkShadows of course! amazon.co.uk/Cold-Kitchen-Y…
Historical moment: Meeting with @David_Cameron (former UK PM) during his visit to #Uzbekistan Sharp discussion about current state of development, human rights, gender & Central Asian integration. And we shared our ideas how @JohnSmithTrust & @CheveningFCDO can engage more youth.
@technocrat12345 Very kind, thank you, I’m a big fan of @joannalillis and her books too!
I’m happy to see Uzbekistan Airways expanding their services across the region and world not least because I feel Turkish Airlines need a firm boot up the posterior from the competition
Unluckily for Kadyrov, pancreatic necrosis cannot be jailed without trial and tortured x.com/kevinrothrock/…
After Novaya reports that Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov is terminally ill, his team releases this video showing him looking as lively as the title character in Weekend at Bernie’s. The camera movement reminds me of Spaceghost trying to breathe life into Ole Kentucky Shark.
Exactly

@joannalillis his second visit to CA, now as a foreign secretary. He was hugely criticized for the first one as I remember.
