At that time, some sources reported that the president had suffered a heart attack. However, none of the domestic or foreign journalists dared to openly report on Emomali Rahmon’s illness due to the ongoing conflict at the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, as news of his death could affect the morale of the residents, and also because the information had not been officially confirmed.
Our colleagues from Radio Ozodi, in their article “Neither statements nor condolences. Why does President Rahmon remain silent?” in the context of the events from September 14-17 at the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, reported that he might be seriously ill.
However, at the time of writing this article, none of the government officials or the press service of the President of Tajikistan had reported anything about Emomali Rahmon’s health status.
At the same time, a reliable source in the government, whose name is not disclosed for security reasons, told Azda TV that the information about Rahmon’s illness was false. He reported that his colleague saw him on September 25 in the Dangara district. According to him, the president is absolutely healthy and is walking around his residences and gardens in the Dangara district, Fakhrobod, and the vicinity of the city of Nurek.
“Around the Nurek Hydroelectric Power Station, he has created a reserve where various birds, partridges, mountain goats, mountain rams, and deer are kept. In the fall, when the weather in Dushanbe is unfavorable, he relaxes with relatives in his gardens and residences,” the source noted.
The President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon was born on October 5, 1952, in the Dangara district of the Khatlon region. This year, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of his rule in Tajikistan, he plans to celebrate his 70th birthday.
