Emomali Sharipovich Rahmonov (

romanized: Emomalî Rahmon/Emomalī Rahmon;[a] [emɔmæli ɾæhmɔn]; born 5 October 1952) is a Tajik politician who has served as President of Tajikistan (or its equivalent post) since 16 November 1994. Previously he was the Chairman of the Supreme Assembly of Tajikistan from 20 November 1992 to 16 November 1994.[1][2]

While he has been praised for bringing stability to Tajikistan after the

Tajik Civil War,[3][4] he is criticised as being an authoritarian, with groups such as Human Rights Watch citing the jailing of government critics, a campaign to force the return of exiled political dissidents abroad and crackdowns on freedom of expression and freedom of belief.[5][6][7] He has also been accused of extensive nepotism.[8][9][10]

Early life

Rahmon was born as Emomali Sharipovich Rakhmonov

Khatlon province). His father was a Red Army veteran of World War II, being a recipient of the Order of Glory in the 2nd and 3rd degrees.[15] From 1971 to 1974, Rahmonov served in the Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet, during which he was stationed in the Primorsky Krai. After completing the military service, Rahmon returned to his native village where he worked for some time as an electrician.[16]

As rising apparatchik in Tajikistan, he became a chairman of the collective state farm of his native Danghara. According to his official biography, Rahmon graduated from the Tajik State National University with a specialist's degree in economics in 1982. After working for several years in the Danghara Sovkhoz, Rahmon was appointed chairman of the sovkhoz in 1987.[2]

Politics

In 1990, Rahmon was elected a people's deputy to the

civil unrest. That same month, the Supreme Soviet met in Khujand for its 16th session and declared Tajikistan a parliamentary republic. Rahmon was then elected by the members of the Supreme Soviet as its chairman—a post equivalent to that of president—and the head of government.[17] Former Interior Minister Yaqub Salimov later recalled that Rahmon's appointment was made because he was “nondescript”, in which other field commanders thought that he could be cast aside "when he had served his purpose."[18][19]

During the civil war that lasted from 1992 to 1997, Rahmon's rule was opposed by the

coups
in August 1997 and in November 1998.

Presidential styles of
Emomali Rahmon
Reference style
Ҷаноби Олӣ, Президенти Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон.
"His Excellency, the President of Tajikistan"
Spoken styleПрезиденти Тоҷикистон
"President of Tajikistan"
Alternative styleАсосгузори сулҳу ваҳдати миллӣ – Пешвои миллат
"Founder of Peace and National Unity – Leader of the Nation"

In 1994, a new constitution reestablished the presidency. Rahmon was elected to the post on 6 November 1994 and sworn in ten days later. Following constitutional changes, he was reelected on 6 November 1999 to a seven-year term, officially taking 97% of the vote. On 22 June 2003, he won a referendum that would allow him to run for two more consecutive seven-year terms after his term expired in 2006. The opposition alleges that this amendment was hidden in a way that verged upon

election that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe said lacked "genuine choice and meaningful pluralism".[21] In October 2020, he was once again re-elected as president for a fifth term with a margin of 90.92%,[22][23] amid allegations of fraud.[24]

In December 2015, a law passed by Tajikistan's parliament gave Rahmon the title "Founder Of Peace and National Unity, Leader of the Nation" (Tajik: Асосгузори сулҳу ваҳдати миллӣ – Пешвои миллат, Asosguzori sulhu vahdati millî – Peşvo‘i millat; Russian: Основатель мира и национального единства – Лидер нации, Osnovatel mira i natsionalnogo yedinstva – Lider natsii).[25] A shorter version of the title, "Leader of the Nation," is used frequently. In addition to granting Rahmon lifelong immunity from prosecution, the law also gave him a number of other lifelong privileges, including veto powers over all major state decisions, the freedom to address the nation and parliament on all matters he deems important, and the privilege of attending all government meetings and parliament sessions.[26][27]

On 22 May 2016, a

Islamic Revival Party from Tajikistan's politics, and reduced the minimum eligibility age for presidential candidates from 35 to 30, enabling Rahmon's older son, Rustam Emomali, to run for president any time after 2017.[30] In January 2017, Rustam Emomali was appointed Mayor of Dushanbe, a key position, which some analysts see as the next step to the top of the government.[31]

According to the US ambassador in Tajikistan, Rahmon's government is characterized by cronyism and corruption. Rahmon and his family control the country's major businesses, including the largest bank.[32] In November 2018, Rahmon launched a hydroelectric station to solve energy problems.[33]

Name changes

In March 2007, Rahmonov changed his surname to Rahmon, getting rid of the Russian-style "-ov" ending.[34] He also removed the patronymic, Sharipovich, from his name altogether. Rahmon explained that he had done so out of respect for his cultural heritage.[35][36] Following the move, scores of governments officials, members of parliament, and civil servants around the country removed Russian-style patronymics and "-ov" endings from their surnames. In April 2016, Tajikistan officially banned giving Russian-style patronymics and surnames to newborn children.[37]

Religion and convictions

Rahmon is a

madrassas, Islamist political parties and Arabic-sounding names (implemented in 2016). Furthermore, mosques are heavily regulated, providing unofficial Islamic teaching can lead to up to 12 years of imprisonment, and an arduous process is required to obtain a permit to establish an Islamic organisation, publish an Islamic book, or go on pilgrimage to Mecca.[39] In January 2016, Rahmon performed an Umrah with a number of his children and senior members of his government. That was Rahmon's fourth pilgrimage to Mecca.[40]

His reply to critics of the election standards of the 2006 Tajikistani presidential elections was:

"In Tajikistan, more than 99 percent of those residing here are Muslim. We have a completely different culture. You have to take that into account".[41]

During a 2010 Organisation of Islamic Cooperation session in Dushanbe, Rahmon spoke against what he called the misuse of Islam for political ends, claiming that "Terrorism, terrorists, have no nation, no country, no religion... Using the name 'Islamic terrorism' only discredits Islam and dishonors the pure and harmless religion of Islam."[42]

Membership in Hizb ut-Tahrir, a militant Islamic party that aims to overthrow secular governments and unify Tajiks under one Islamic state, is illegal and members are subject to arrest and imprisonment.[43]

The

terrorist organization since 2015.[44][45]

In 2017 the government of Tajikistan passed a law requiring people to "stick to traditional national clothes and culture", which has been widely seen as an attempt to prevent women from wearing Islamic clothing, in particular the style of headscarf wrapped under the chin, in contrast to the traditional Tajik headscarf tied behind the head.[46]

Personal life

Emomali Rahmon with family

He is married to Azizmo Asadullayeva and has nine children: seven daughters and two sons.[47] Two of his children, Rustam Emomali and Ozoda Rahmon, are senior officials in his administration,[48][49] while another, Zarina Rahmon, was appointed deputy head of Orienbank in January 2017.[50][51] Rustam is believed to be prepared by his father to succeed him as leader of Tajikistan.[52]

Honors and awards
