Robert Fisk’s World: Whenever I’m in Tajikistan, my mobile phone says I’m in Dubai
I knew I was in Tajikistan this week when my Lebanese roaming mobile phone welcomed me to “Russia” on arrival at Dushanbe airport. Yup folks, Alpha Beirut really believed I was in Mr Putin’s empire. And, wondrous to behold, the phone pinged again when I was on my way to the Tajik town of Panj on the Amu Darya, welcoming me to Afghanistan. An hour later, when I was still in Tajikistan north of the ancient Oxus River – traversed by Alexander, who actually married a Tajik (later murdered, of course) – my mobile pinged once more. This time it welcomed me to the United Arab Emirates.
