Abstract: In the early morning of July 24th 2012, a Special Military Operation was launched in the small town of Khorog, Tajikistan. The special operation was the central government‟s response to the killing of Major-General Abdullo Nazarov. All sorts of communication services were blocked and the town was isolated from the rest of the world for over two months. The consequence of the special operation was a violent conflict, after which the region remains unstable to date. Therefore, this paper looks at the process of conflict resolution of July 2012 unrest, and looks at the main actors that took part in it. The main aim of the thesis is to look at the role of Aga-Khan Development Networks (AKDN) and other civil society groups and activists, in order to evaluate the degree to which their role was important and adequate. AKDN played an important, yet not the central role during the conflict, acting as a mediator in an effort to help organize a proper conflict resolution. During the conflict, ordinary people and civil society groups played the central role in the context of conflict resolution and prevention of further escalation of violence. This paper will demonstrate to which level the role of ordinary people and the civil society was important during the clashes. Furthermore, this research looks at the conflict resolution approaches and applies them to the case study of July 2012 events in Khorog, Tajikistan.
