Extractions: The Role of the International Community Human Rights Developments kontraktniki (contract servicemen) from service, but many reportedly remained in service. Former UTO commanders, based in the Karategin Valley and neither demobilized nor awarded government posts, continued to head independent armed forces, and clashes between these renegade forces and government troops in Darband in late August led to the reported burning of civilian houses and killing of livestock by government forces. Islamic insurgents who invaded Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan in August were accused of maintaining bases in northeastern Tajikistan, and former UTO combatants were accused of participating in the incursion. Violence continued to characterize the political scene. In Dushanbe on February 16 a bomb exploded in a car carrying Dushanbe mayor Mahmadsaid Ubaidullaev and deputy security minister and parliamentary candidate Shamsullo Jabirov, fatally wounding the latter. On May 20, Saifullo Rahimov, chairman of the State Committee on Radio and Television, was assassinated in Dushanbe by unidentified gunmen. The politico-military climate in the Karategin Valley deteriorated on June 3 when the chairman of the district of Garm, Sergei Davlatov, was shot down with his bodyguard and driver. International organizations temporarily evacuated the area after the killing, and at the time of writing, as in the months previous, the Karategin Valley remained off-limits for most staff of international organizations. The year also saw firefights in public venues between the heads of several Kuliabi-headed security units.

THE AUTOMOTIVE MARKET IN TAJIKISTAN tajikistan's government has purchased ten Cclass Mercedes for officialuse. Some officials in Dushanbe and other parts of the country http://www.bisnis.doc.gov/bisnis/isa/9805auto.htm
Extractions: May 1998 From: BISNIS Representative, U.S. Embassy Dushanbe, Tajikistan The retail sale of both foreign and domestic automobiles in Tajikistan began developing after 1990. Once the state was unable to meet the population's demand for cars, private companies and entrepreneurs took the initiative to sell cars in Tajikistan in the open market. Unfortunately, the five year war and the accompanying economic crisis has led to the decline of the purchasing power of most of the population. However, a new segment of the population, (the so-called "new Tajiks") are able to afford to have several cars. New Tajiks prefer Mercedes, Volvos, and BMWs. Mercedes produced before 1989 cost US$7,000-10,000 in the Tajik market, those produced in 1990-95 range from US$11,000 to US$20,000. Some young men, wanting to present a "tough" image, drive sports cars such as Ford Mustangs and Pontiacs. Former military leaders own foreign cars of all makes. Among the middle class, preference is given to the Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, Opel Kadett, Opel Omega, Ford Sierra, Mazda-626, and Mazda-929. These vehicles offer more comfort than Russian cars and are comparatively inexpensive (US$3,000-6,000). Due to the extremely poor road conditions in the country, especially in rural and mountainous areas, the demand for Jeep-type cars has increased. Numerous Nissan Patrols, Mitsubishi Pajeros, Jeep Cherokees, Toyota Land Cruisers, and Jeep Wranglers can be found in those areas.

The economy is in poor shape and many regions of the country have suffered food shortages following years of drought and economic dislocation caused by the civil war.

Tajikistan and the World Bank. At the request of the Government, a World Bank mission visited Tajikistan in September 1997 to outline a possible assistance program. In response to the Government's concerns, the World Bank prepared two operations: (a) the Post-Conflict Rehabilitation Credit of US$10 million, approved in December 1997, to help the Government address immediate general budgetary needs associated with the peace agreement; and (b) the Post-Conflict Emergency Reconstruction Project to address the specific reconstruction needs of the Karategin-Tavildara Valley area. The credits are, therefore, part of a broader effort to address the after-effects of Tajikistan's crisis.

USAID Search: Tajikistan Previous Years' Activities Last updated: Wednesday, 29-May-2002 18:51:31 EDT (text taken from the FY 2003 Congressional Budget Justification) THE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGE: Tajikistan is a front line state in the War on Terrorism and, despite risks from its own Islamists, quickly gave the United States necessary access for the intervention in Afghanistan. Tajikistan's role in the conflict and humanitarian relief effort has been essential. The most disadvantaged of the Central Asian Republics (CARs), Tajikistan has limited resources, is landlocked with few transportation links, was ravaged by several years of civil war, and is one of the poorest countries in Asia. Lawlessness and trafficking in both arms and drugs remain U.S. concerns. Notwithstanding its disadvantages, Tajikistan is successfully, if haltingly, making a transition to civil order and democracy. Despite several potentially destabilizing events during 2001, e.g. the assassination of cabinet officials by unknown assailants, the various parties remain committed to peace even as they struggle for influence within the political landscape. The government continues to work to maintain a balance among various factions, such as between the president's party and former opposition members integrated into the government following the 1997 Peace Accord. The peace process resulted in a unique coalition government of Islamists and former Communists. Yet, governance and rule of law remain weak. In 2001, Freedom House characterized Tajikistan as "not free", and its political rights and civil liberties ratings are both 6 out of 7, with 7 designated as the lowest degree of freedom.

Extractions: Tajikistan The Republic of Tajikistan gained its independence during the breakup of the U.S.S.R. on September 9, 1991 and promptly fell into a civil war from 1992-97 between old-guard regionally based ruling elites and disenfranchised regions, democratic liberal reformists, and Islamists loosely organized in a United Tajik Opposition (UTO). Other combatants and armed bands that flourished in this civil chaos simply reflected the breakdown of central authority rather than loyalty to a political faction. The height of hostilities occurred between 1992-93. By 1997, the predominantly Kulyabi-led Tajik Government and the UTO successfully negotiated a powersharing peace accord and implemented it by 2000. Tajikistan is slowly rebuilding itself with an integrated government and continues to permit a Russian military presence to guard their border with Afghanistan and the basing of the Russian 201st Motorized Rifle Division that never left Tajikistan when it became independent. Most of these Russian-led forces, however, are local Tajik noncommissioned officers and soldiers. Both Tajikistan's presidential and parliamentary elections, in 1999 and 2000, respectively, were widely considered to be flawed and unfair but peaceful. The inclusion of an overtly declared Islamic party committed to secular government (Islamic Rebirth Party) and several other parties in the Parliamentary elections represented an improvement in the Tajik people's right to choose their government. Tajikistan is the only Central Asian country in which a religiously affiliated political party is represented in Parliament. President Rahmonov, while no longer specifically obligedas he was under the peace accordsto allocate one-third of government positions to the UTO, has kept some former UTO officials in senior cabinet-level positions. While the government and the now incorporated former opposition continue to distrust each other, they have often found a way to work with each other and are committed to peacefully resolving their differences.
