Outline of Tajikistan

[1] It borders Afghanistan to the south, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north, and China to the east.Most of Tajikistan's population belongs to the Tajik ethnic group, who share culture and history with the Persian peoples and speak the Tajik language, a modern variety of Persian.After independence, Tajikistan suffered from a devastating civil war which lasted from 1992 to 1997.Since the end of the war, newly established political stability and foreign aid have allowed the country's economy to grow.Its natural resources such as cotton and aluminium have contributed greatly to this steady improvement, although observers have characterized the country as having few natural resources besides hydroelectric power and its strategic location.
