Quotes about Rahmon

• The Tajik president said that agricultural workers in Tajikistan must use what water they have as efficiently as possible; but if the shortfalls in precipitation are as great as he says, they face real challenges if they are to produce as much food as they have in the past. And any food shortages could both trigger more outmigration and political instability.
