Economic misrule and political repression have left Uzbekistan in a woeful state. President Islom Karimov’s intransigence has meant that efforts to encourage economic and political reform have failed. Religious and political repression and worsening living standards have raised domestic tensions and provoked violence. Uzbekistan is well down the path of self-destruction followed by such countries as Burma, Zimbabwe and North Korea, in which an elite prospers while the majority lives in worsening poverty.
