The region of Dandhaka is considered by most military commanders a "meat-grinder" since the revolutionary leaders seized control of the country in 1915. What is most distressing is the "anti-foreigner" purges that have taken place since 1916. Although there have been calls to open relations since 1921, the region has been subject to guerilla warfare attacks against embassies and foreign companies.
