DUSHANBE — Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, imam of the Ismaili branch of the Shi’a Muslim faith, has said that an Ismaili center has been officially registered in Dushanbe under Tajikistan’s law on religion.
The previously unannounced visit came as Tajikistan faces economic pressure from its neighbor Uzbekistan — including cuts to badly needed electricity and natural gas supplies and the closure of road and railway connections between the two countries that Tajikistan needs as transit routes to Kazakhstan and world markets.
