Tajik leader's new 'full title' rule in force


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A new rule came into force in the Central Asian country of Tajikistan last week which forces state-run media outlets to refer to President Emomali Rahmon by his not insubstantial official title.

That means news reports about the country's leader must refer to him as "The Founder of Peace and National Unity, Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, His Excellency Emomali Rahmon," US-funded Radio Azadliq reports. It takes a full 15 seconds for the name to scroll across the screen on the main TV news.

  • The title was changed to Tajik leader's new 'full title' rule in force
 

That's pretty good, but the best one is still Mobutu of Zaire/Congo: Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu waza Banga:  the all-powerful warrior who, because of his endurance and inflexible will to win, will go from conquest to conquest leaving fire in his wake.
