On this day 23 years ago, President Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan signed the General Agreement on Peace and National Consent, putting an end to the country’s five-year civil war. For Tajikistan, this is a significant document, since it laid the ground for democratic growth, free elections, and economic recovery. Tajikistan, which dates back to the Samanid Empire, was proclaimed a component republic of the Soviet Union and remained such until the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
