		Kulyab's extremely negative attitude to the Islamists stemmed from well-founded apprehensions concerning its own vulnerability, rather than from ideological intransigence.
		While giving the Kulyab a measure of support and actively playing the Uzbekistan card, the Leninabadis expected the former to win the battle for them and to agree to remain a junior partner in the inter-regional power sharing scheme.
		It bore out the inadequacy of the then current conceptions and expectations that the newly independent Muslim states would be toppled by the Islamists, that the specific nature of their development warranted their rapid Islamization and return to that fold of civilisation from which they had been forcibly severed by Soviet power.

	ISN Security Watch - Radical group uncovered in southern Tajikistan
		Kulyab deputy police chief police colonel Faizali Mazoriev fully shares his government’s concern about the group, calling it “an anti-constitutional organization with the capacity to threaten a state that is still weak”.
		The leaflets found in Kulyab are cleverly focused on real concerns facing people in Tajikistan –the annual exodus of migrant workers to Russia, shortages of gas and electricity, the mining of the Tajik border by the Uzbek military, and the expensive homes and cars acquired by the Tajik elite.
		The Tajik government is largely drawn from Kulyab, and as a result many people from the area have found jobs in Dushanbe or otherwise benefited by association with the regime.

		By Turko Dikaev in Shobika, Kulyab region (RCA, No.150, 1-Oct-02) The Ibragimovs eagerly awaited the arrival of their first baby, only for their hearts to break when it was born severely emaciated, suffering from heart problems.
		Throughout her pregnancy, the infant's mother had been on the verge of starvation, which resulted in her child suffering hypotrophy - incomplete growth in the womb.
		There are 46 such under-fives currently facing death in the poverty-stricken village of Shobika in the southern Kulyab region, seemingly forgotten by locally-based aid agencies who've increasingly been shifting the focus of their operations across the border to Afghanistan over the last year.

		Ghaffor Mirzoyev, born in 1956 in Kulyab, is also known under the nickname “Sedoi” (grey haired), and was the closest ally of Rakhmonov during the events of 1997.

		Both Leninabad and Kulyab clans worried that their positions would be threatened by the success of the opposition Pamir and Garm regional clans.
		In Kulyab, for example, the local Russians organized rallies urging President Yeltsin to supply them with the weapons necessary for "self-defense."

		The session called for the dismissals of President Nabiev and Speaker of the Parliament Iskandarov, as well as for the appointment of Emomali Rahmonov, one of the field commanders of the People's Front who was the former chairman of the Kulyab Regional Executive Committee, as the new head of state (Chairman of the Supreme Soviet).

		In the fall, the governing coalition lost effective control of the Kulyab and Kurgan-Tyube regions to Nabiyev supporters, and, in November, an acting president handed power to Rakhmonov, leader of the pro-Nabiyev forces in Kulyab.

		In Khatlon province, which was formed after the civil war to include the Kulyab and Kurgan Tyube regions, most members of the local population with roots in Gharm (an area east of the capital) supported the opposition during the civil war, and became refugees when the Kulyabi-dominated government factions won.
