He has studied in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and previously worked for the Aga Khan Humanities Project in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Mr. Hall discussed ICG's recent report titled "Turkmenistan after Niyazov," which examines the legacy of the late president, Saparmurat Niyazov, and the situation in the country following the rigged election on February 11 of Gurbanguly Berdimuhammedov as his successor.
