Dostum's troops have it tough
By Doug Struck Washington Post Foreign Service
"Dostum's people have no shoes on their feet. They may eat only once a day. When they get sick, there is no hospital. If they find water, they drink. They have been fighting for three years without pay," said Amir Zada, a former commander who keeps in close touch with Dostum's forces. Wounded in eight places, Zada is now in Tashkent, the Uzbek capital.
