  • Aga Khan Agency for Habitat Provides Refresher Courses for Certs
    Enhancing readiness of emergency response volunteers in Tajikistan Aga Khan Agency for Habitat provides refresher courses for CERTs Rasht, Tajikistan, 23 April 2020 – The Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) Tajikistan, through the financial support of the Government of Switzerland, completed refresher trainings for the Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) formed in Rasht valley. The trainings, which were conducted within the Integrated Health and Habitat Improvement (IHHI) project, are designed to enhance the readiness of the CERTs to respond to emergency situations across the Districts of Republican Subordination. The training prepares the volunteers to be the first responders in the event of a disaster. It capitalises on their knowledge of the terrain, language and culture, as captured by trainer Munira Qurbonmamadova, “Our approach is tailored to the cultural dynamics in each area. For example, in Shashvolon, we held a separate training for the women, which was very well received.” Shukrona, a local nurse and committed community volunteer who helped mobilise her fellow women volunteers agrees, “The training offered a safe place to learn freely and to practice. Women constitute a significant number of our communities so it’s important that their specific needs are considered in emergency response.” The trainings were undertaken in seven villages of Rasht, Roghun, Lakhsh, Tojikobod, Fayzobod, Nurobod, and Sangvor districts from 17 to 20 April. A total of 210 participants (equal representation of men and women) successfully concluded the two-day training, acquiring renewed theoretical knowledge and practical experience on first aid, Incident Command System (ICS), and search and rescue. They also enhanced techniques in bleeding prevention, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and victim transportation.

Received: 26 August 2011; in revised form: 10 September 2011 / Accepted: 14 September 2011 / Published: 22 September 2011 Abstract: The revitalization of the Rogun hydropower station project and launch of an Initial Public Offering has led the water-energy disputes between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to a new stage. While two riparian states advocate their positions from their own perspective, it gives the impression of being a “prisoners’ dilemma” case from a regional cooperation point. This paper aims to review the decision of project revitalization from the unconventional security perspective, focusing mainly on its impact on Tajikistan. The scope will be limited to economic, energy, social and political security. The paper attempts to reveal the existing unconventional security threats and suggest possible solutions for the arising problems. Keywords: water-energy trade-off; unconventional security; opportunity costs; Tajikistan; Uzbekistan; Central Asia 1. Introduction How to adequately meet growing energy needs is a vital question for every nation.

    Mediating the Conflict in the Rasht Valley, Tajikistan The Hegemonic Narrative and Anti-Hegemonic Challenges Accepted version of an article published in Central Asian Affairs: Lemon, Edward. " Mediating the Conflict in the Rasht Valley, Tajikistan", Central Asian Affairs 1, 2 (2014): 247-272. Edward Lemon Department of Politics, University of Exeter [email protected] Abstract Between 2009 and 2011 Tajikistan experienced one of the worst bouts of political vio- lence since the end of the country’s civil war. The fighting was concentrated in the Rasht Valley, an area traditionally associated with opposition to the regime. As a result, the government attempted to fix the meaning of the conflict around the signifiers “international terrorism” and “radical Islam.” This framing directly reproduced the regime’s hegemony through legitimating the removal of opponents and contrasting the Tajik “self” with the terrorist “other.” The hegemonic narrative was incomplete and contained inconsistencies. As a result, anti- hegemonic actors attempted to under- mine its legitimacy. Although these critical articulations destabilized the narrative, due to their dispersed and divergent nature, it ultimately maintained its hegemonic position. Keywords Tajikistan – terrorism – Islam – conflict – framing On April 15, 2011, Tajik television displayed graphic images of militants killed by government forces during a special operation. The video contained images of illegal weapons caches, mountain hideouts, bomb-making books, and Islamist motifs. The narrator labeled the militants as “international terrorists” (bain- almilli terroriston). He stated that these men wanted to overthrow the government and enforce an Islamic state based on shari’a law in Tajikistan. Long-time government opponent Mullo Abdullo led the group.
