Tajikistan is undergoing severe domestic and external pressures. On the external side, with Al Qaida under pressure in Afghanistan and Pakistan, some of the militants are expected to end up in Tajikistan and other Central Asian countries. Domestically, there is public dissatisfaction with government efforts to resolve pressing social and economic problems. However, President Emomali Rakhmon is credited with restoring peace and stability following the civil war in 1992-1997.
Although the official unemployment rate is set at 2.5% (CIA World Factbook 2012), the number is estimated much higher. More than a million of Tajik’s currently work as labor migrants, predominantly in Russia and other former Soviet states. The global financial crisis has increased economic hardships, most notably through a major decline in workers’ remittances (which account for nearly 50% of GDP).
