Karimov was accused of stifling political opposition and sanctioning widespread human rights abuses in his country. Despite such criticism, he became an ally of the United States after the 2001 [[September 11 attacks]] and granted basing rights to U.S. forces operating in Afghanistan in exchange for military and economic assistance. Karimov was also supported by the Russian government.

On August 29, 2016, one of Karimov’s daughters, Lola Karimova-Tillyayeva, announced over social media that her father had been hospitalized for a cerebral hemorrhage. Karimov’s health crisis set off a round of speculation about who would succeed him as president. There were also unconfirmed reports that he had actually died but that the news was being held back by members of his inner circle. On September 2 the government officially confirmed Karimov’s death. A funeral was held the next day in Samarkand, and chairman of Senate, Nigmatilla Yuldashev, took over as acting president, but gave this role to the prime minister, Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
