Akromiya: what Wikipedia removed
Akromiya is an Uzbek organization founded by Akrom Yo’ldoshev. The 2005 opening called it “an Islamist militant group in Uzbekistan, Central Asia, banned under the current Uzbek government.” Today’s opening calls it only “an Islamist organization,” and the word does not appear anywhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that Akromiya was described as a militant group or that it was banned by the Uzbek government.
The word “militant” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2005. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
