Another cartoon from Tom Wellings
Context:”Recent presidential decrees like the de-Russification of surnames, as well as bans on gold caps on teachers’ teeth and lavish parties, remind us of the late Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov. The latest decree was, first of all, populist. Second, it is an attempt to overshadow the problems in social, economic, political, and cultural life in Tajikistan and to direct people’s attention to unimportant issues.”
- Shokirjon Hakimov, head of the Faculty of Law and International Relations at Tajik International University in Dushanbe
