Day of National Unity in Tajikistan

Day of National Unity in Tajikistan is observed on June 27th every year. This date commemorates the end of the civil war that took place from 1992 to 1997, which was a conflict that arose shortly after the country gained independence following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of peace, reconciliation, and solidarity among the different ethnic and cultural groups within Tajikistan.

History

The civil war in Tajikistan was primarily a clash between regional factions from Garm and Gorno-Badakhshan, which supported the government, and opposition factions from Kulyab and Khujand, which included a range of Islamist and secular forces. After several years of intense fighting that resulted in considerable loss of life and displacement, peace talks led to the signing of the General Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and National Accord in Moscow on June 27, 1997.
