'''Hizb-an-Nusra''' ({{langx|en|'''Party of Support'''}}) is an [[Islamist]] organization which the Uzbek government considers to be [[terrorist]] in nature that has operated in [[Uzbekistan]] since 1999. It was founded by [[Mirzazhanov Atoyevich]]. Members of [[Hizb ut-Tahrir]], an international organization dedicated to establishing a unified Islamic state across the Muslim world, created Hizb-an-Nusra in [[Tashkent]] out of dissatisfaction with Hizb ut-Tahrir's inability to overthrow the [[Government of Uzbekistan]].<ref name="SPLIT">[http://www.eurasianet.org/departments/insight/articles/eav202103.shtml Hizb ut-Tahrir faces internal split in Central Asia] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070407204822/http://www.eurasianet.org/departments/insight/articles/eav202103.shtml |date=2007-04-07 }} EurasiaNet</ref>
[[Akromiya]], another Islamic Uzbek terrorist organization, broke away from HT in 1996. Akromiya leader [[Akrom Yo‘ldoshev]]'s pamphlet ''Yimonga Yul'' (Way to Faith) criticizes HT's goal of creating an international [[caliphate]] for impracticality. Yudashev argues in favor of creating an [[Islamic state]] on a local level instead.<ref name="SPLIT"/>
