Topic: On Assignment

In the interest of getting a better understanding about the nature of a certain deity, I decided to keep track of things for a week or so, just to see where the hostile winds are blowing.

From News Central Asia-

Slow Cotton Harvest Leads to Dismissal of 13 Governors in Turkmenistan

Ashgabat, 7 October 2005 (nCa) --- The slow cotton harvest that has been the source of concern for the last several weeks, led Thursday to mass dismissal of provincial and district governors in Turkmenistan. Two provincial and several district governors were dismissed by President Niyazov right during a meeting in Mekan hall, Ashgabat.


Governor of Labap province has been sacked and reappointed as governor of a district in Ahal province. Governor of Mary has been dismissed and he has been offered job as teacher in an institute.


Governors of 11 districts - Farab, Koitendag, Tagtabazar, Oguzkhan, Mary (district), Sarakhs, Tejen, Kakhka, Altyn Asyr, Baharly, Goekdepe - and deputy governor of Ahal province were dismissed and their successors appointed. Read the full story (If you must)

Now, I'm pretty sure that a bunch of the adherents of a certain deity were harvesting that cotton. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Did we miss by a continent on the old hostile winds again?
