"Government offices held by Kyrgyz protesters" by Peter Leonard, Associated Press | May 14, 2010
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — Opponents of Kyrgyzstan’s interim rulers stormed several regional government headquarters yesterday, threatening the delicate peace that has reigned since the violent overthrow of the president last month.
The violence was all on the side of the war criminal that fled, you sorry, one-sided sack of s*** for a newspaper.
Provisional authorities are struggling to restore control over the country, particularly in the south, a former stronghold of deposed President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who was ousted April 7 amid violent clashes between government troops and demonstrators that left at least 85 people dead.
You know, the guy facing extradition from Belarus for mass murder.
And it was "government" troops mowing protesters down as usual.
If the protests once again spread to the capital, Bishkek, they could threaten the stability of the Central Asian nation, which is of strategic concern to Washington and Moscow — both have military bases in Kyrgyzstan.
Isn't that the point?
Have Russia juggling former republics so USrael can clobber Iran?
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in front of the governor’s office in the city of Osh to demand the return of former governor Mamasadyk Bakirov, a Bakiyev loyalist who lost his post after the revolt.
Eyewitnesses said that after several minor scuffles broke out between supporters of the interim government and opponents, a crowd of around 500 people barged into the building and installed Bakirov in the governor’s office....
The acting Osh governor, Sooronbai Jeenbekov, said that to avoid violence, no attempt was made to impede the crowd....
Jeenbekov said the situation would soon be under control.
Reacting to the unrest in the south, interim Prime Minister Roza Otunbayeva appointed acting Defense Minister Ismail Isakov as special government representative for the affected regions. Isakov was due to arrive in Osh late yesterday.“There is a danger for the country, but we are doing everything we can to prevent any attempts by Bakiyev’s forces to destabilize the situation in Kyrgyzstan,’’ Otunbayeva said.I think we have a pretty good idea who is sCrewIng Around there.

[All the states within the sights of the overlords of the pipeline wars have been primed for revolution in the same manner, with the same likely outcomes, by the same "freedom" loving people at Freedom House. The alternative press functions as a social engine, revving-up the people's natural discontent and driving them straight into the halls of government. In the aftermath, groomed stooges of the overlords are pushed to the front of the protests. In this set-up, there will be no other potential leaders who are willing to take the risk that comes with the burden of guiding the revolution into a state of true democracy and freedom for all.
Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Russia and all the rest of you unfortunate nations, better cultivate your networks of friends and find your own natural leaders at the grass roots level, to push them to the forefront of the revolutions on your own.

"Kyrgyzstan erupts in ethnic violence" by Associated Press | May 20, 2010
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — Several thousand people tried to storm a university in Kyrgyzstan yesterday in a burst of ethnic violence that left at least two people dead and more than 70 wounded, prompting the interim government to call a local state of emergency.
Witnesses in the southern town of Jalal-Abad said thousands of ethnic Kyrgyz advanced on the private university that serves as the center of the minority Uzbek community. They said gunfire broke out as crowds approached a building encircled by special security forces.
Kyrgyzstan has been struggling to maintain stability since President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was ousted from power in April....
Yes, you can SEE WHAT is going on -- or not, as the case may be (see end of post).
Tensions have long simmered between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks in the former Soviet nation’s restive south. In 1990, hundreds were killed in a violent land dispute between the two communities across southern Kyrgyzstan, which borders Uzbekistan.
That was then, this is now.
Witnesses said the crowd assembled yesterday in front of the university threw stones at the building and shouted demands for the handover of Uzbek community leader Kadyrjan Batyrov, whom they accused of inciting racial tension.
And we know who is behind him, don't we?
Mission in progress, 'eh?
Have read or seen nothing since, folks.
