“Nobody Departed to Iraq and Syria from Here”. How Villages of Tajikistan Counteract Extremism
“Nobody Departed to Iraq and Syria from Here”. How Villages of Tajikistan Counteract Extremism In mid-February, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, Sirojiddin Muhriddin, said that the country had begun the work on returning its citizens from Syria and Iraq. In recent years, nearly two thousand people departed for there. However, the situation in the country is uneven: in some districts, a large number of people join the ranks of extremists, and in other districts, there is not a single person who has departed. Subscribe to our Telegram channel! In the city of Isfara in the north of Tajikistan, there are 12 jamoats: Vorukh, Kulkand, Lakkon, Navgilem, Nefteobod, Nurafshon, Surkh, Khonaobod, Chilgazi, Chorkuh, Shahrak and Shurab. Most of the locals are religious people. Last fall, Mansurjon Umarov, the deputy head of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan, reported in Parliament that during the last years, 1 899 Tajik people left for the war in Iraq and Syria. These figures include 111 Isfara residents. According to Sururiddin Ziyovaddinzoda, head of Isfara hukumat, 70% of Isfara residents who joined the IS (terrorist and extremist organization banned in the Republic of Tajikistan – ed.) are residents of the Shahrak village jamoat, and 30% are from Navgilem and Nefteobod. Some believe that the lack of both religious and secular education is the reason for such statistics. According to Nodira Avezova, one of the leaders of Chorkuh jamoat, those who do not know Islam and Sharia become extremists: – They [who left for Iraq and Syria] cannot even read books and namaz; therefore, other people influence Nodira Avezova. -

DOWNLOAD 1 IPC Tajikistan Acutefi Situation
FOOD SECURITY BRIEF – TAJIKISTAN (JUNE 2013) Key Findings and Issues The food security situation was analyzed in Tajikistan’s 11 livelihood zones for the period January to May 2013, and a projection was made for the period June to October 2013. The food security status of 3 percent of the population (about 152,000 people) in rural livelihood zones was classified as Phase 3 (Crisis). The status of 39 percent of rural population (about 2,285,000 people) was classified as Phase 2 (Stressed), while the remaining 58 percent (about 3,371,000 people) was classified as Phase 1 (Minimal). In general, food security was found to have improved since the previous period (October-December 2012), with highly food insecure areas in Phase 3 (Crisis) shifting to moderately food insecure status Phase 2 (Stressed). The main contributing factors to the improvement were increased remittances, good rainfall in spring and casual labour opportunities. The seasonal availability of pasture has also led to improvement in livestock productivity and value, better food consumption pattern. Seasonally, many alternative sources of food and income became available, which includes labour planting spring crops, labor in construction work, migration, etc. Spring rains in February-March 2013 have been adequate, leading to good prospects for the cereal harvest. According to the State Statistics Agency, during the first four months of the current year, in monetary terms, agricultural production was equal to TJS 1,133.4 million and industrial production (including electricity, gas, heating) amounted TJS 2,962.0 million, which were 7.5 percent and 5.8 percent respectively higher compared to January-April 2012. -
