Residents of the villages of Vorukh, Khojai Alo, and Chorkuh in the Isfara district stated in their appeal to the president, the State National Security Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the General Prosecutor’s Office, and the Ministry of Defense that the population of the border areas is complaining not about attacks from the military of neighboring Kyrgyzstan, but about the activities of President Rahmon’s son-in-law, Shamshullo Sokhibov.

“The company ‘Faroz,’ led by Shamshullo Sokhibov, and other interested parties are ready to ‘sell’ this part of Tajikistan to the Kyrgyz. The leadership of ‘Faroz’ uses the commander of the border troops, Rajabali Rahmonali, as a puppet and gives him orders, while Rajabali makes countless concessions under the pretext of avoiding war, as a result of which Kyrgyz military forces have freely occupied several important strategic points and heights,” the message states.

The residents expressed concern that the population and young people of these villages, who are trying to defend the borders of their homeland, are facing persecution and pressure from Tajik law enforcement agencies.

Residents of the Isfara district also demanded the dismissal of several district officials, including the police chief of the village of Chorkuh, Anvar Rahmonzoda. “We do not want this region to become an unstable corner of the homeland, like Badakhshan, because this person is provoking the anger and outrage of the people with his actions,” the appeal states.

Additionally, residents of the border areas demanded that the chairman of the Sughd region, Rajabboy Ahmadzoda, be excluded from negotiations, as it is due to his numerous concessions that important points have been lost.

At the end of the appeal, they demanded that the president, as the guarantor of peace and unity in the country, resolve their issues as soon as possible. Their main demands are as follows: to recruit worthy individuals into law enforcement agencies, to involve those who are proficient in the Russian language and well-versed in the history of the country, literate and brave individuals in negotiations, and most importantly, to prohibit the company ‘Faroz’ from operating in the region.
