Who the fuck cares about what happens in Kyrgystan? I would suspect that 90% of the people in the world couldnt tell you that it exists, let alone where it is.


Im sorry you're having trouble there in your corner of the world - welcome to the club - we have a new president who is usurping the authority of our other 2 branches of government, who is raising our deficit to ungodly heights, and who thinks that he can run our country like a Chicago racket!


Welcome to the world - get in line for sympathy!

Well,I don't think you would but it does't really matter to anyone .Overall,at this present time when there are challenges out there the world should pay attention to the events taking place around Afghanistan right now including Kyrgyzstan  because if it does't then  how the hell do you expect to stabilize the region.

 Now,remember that Central Asia is a very unstable place right now loaded with religious fundamentalists and authoritarian rulers plus the russians playing out their own game.

Has never been stable and never will be stable because on one side you have Russia, a modern post communistic Mafia state that has technology, and on the other side you have people who live in caves and havent entered the bronze age yet. Throw in religion, and you have an area that is totally confused, out of whack withthe rest of the civilized world and a breeding ground for fundementalism...

Unless you bring Afghanistan into the 21st century, you will never change the conditions that breed instability. You must throw in the fact that Central Asia is not a real hotbed of intelligence, and you get what has existed there since the Khans left around the 1400s - Chaos...

Im sorry that Kyrgyztan is in trouble - Im sorry that their people are suffering - but like I said before, welcome to the world and get in line - we are all suffering, we are all hurting right now - Its gonna take a whole lot more than "awareness" to fix this mess...

This is gonna get a whole lot worse before it can get better - think "Mad Max" kinda worse...

I would't say your opinion is intelligent my friend but I guess that's how it is.

 Ok,first Kyrgyzstan is one of the democratic nations in the Central Asian region among other former soviet republics.Then,americans and the NATO had an airbase in Bishkek which is going to be moved closer to the Afghanistan because the russians pushed the kyrgyz president Bakiev to make the decision on the eviction.Kremlin is stepping up it's efforts in order to gain the influence back since the soviet empire breakdown and it has been obvious to the rest of the world when the war broke out between the former soviet republic of Georgia and Russia.

 Then,the current political situation in Kyrgyzstan represents a reflection of the slide effect toward authoritarianism which is a characteristic of the past soviet system existing to this day in the former soviet republics for the historical reasons along with a geopolital factors.

  What we have in Kyrgyzstan is simply an attempt to turn the country into the authoritarian mixed with dictatorship elements state which is a majour concern for the kyrgyz polpulation including me as well because we are a free nation and we don't want none of the past experiences we had with USSR and the russians are interfering in to our internal politics because the current president is using a Kremlin picked  PR managers who were not even supposed to be there.

 It's a political process for Kyrgyzstan which  is escalating in to the violence against the oppositiuon parties and the independent media.

 There is a big geopolitical game is taking place  because of the current kyrgyz presidency  involved in that with russians and we don't want that.

 This is all about awareness on the processes in Kyrgyzstan as well as in the region so you might have a better idea what is going on there.

 I think you have to know the situation better then coming out with some sorta intelligence that you have but it feels like you don't.

 This is all informative.
