- <p> For the third time this year, the elected President of a
- former Soviet republic has been forced out of office by a
- popular uprising. Rebel militiamen in Dushanbe, capital of
- Tajikistan, seized President Rakhmon Nabiyev as he drove to the
- airport and forced him at gunpoint to sign a formal resignation.
- Nabiyev, the longtime communist boss of Tajikistan, won almost
- 60% of the vote in a presidential election last November.
- Fighting broke out between Nabiyev's supporters and his rivals,
- a coalition of democratic and Islamic groups, and in recent
- weeks the clashes turned into civil war.
