Hey lookie….. Somebody is actually acknowledging to be running teh gubmint in Kyrgyzstan.

http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/kyrgyz-leader-visits-wartorn-south-20100618-ympk.html

Kyrgyzstan’s interim leader Roza Otunbayeva has visited the country’s south in a bid to calm tensions after admitting the death toll in ethnic clashes may be ten times higher than official figures.

Otunbayeva, wearing a bullet-proof vest and accompanied by a heavy security detail, landed by helicopter for her first visit to the devastated city of Osh since the unrest began nearly a week ago, an AFP correspondent reported on Friday. “I came here to see, to speak with the people and hear firsthand what happened here. We will do everything to rebuild this city,” Otunbayeva said before a handful of people on the main square.

During her visit, Otunbayeva stayed away from the city’s devastated Uzbek neighbourhoods – many of which were burnt to the ground amid the worst of the ethnic bloodshed. Victims of the unrest have said that the violence was a brutal and orchestrated campaign by armed militias of ethnic Kyrgyz targeting their Uzbek neighbours.

But Otunbayeva played down the scale of animosity between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks that fuelled the clashes. “We have always lived together and we always will live together,” she said.

— — — — — — —

Hmmmmmmm…… I wonder how much of a ‘clean up’ was done before Ms. Otunbayeva came a-callin’ for her photo op, tour of her nation’s strife-torn region.

Wait a second……… Ms. Otunbayeva ? Her visit ?

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Robert O. Blake, Jr. will travel to Ashgabat, Turkmenistan June 14-16 and Tashkent, Uzbekistan June 17-18. Assistant Secretary Blake will lead a large official delegation to the first Annual Bilateral Consultations (ABCs) with the Government of Turkmenistan. The delegation includes Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner, and Kurt Donnelly, the Director for Central Asia at the National Security Council. The ABCs will address a wide range of bilateral issues from energy cooperation to human rights. Turkmenistan is the fourth Central Asian country to conduct ABCs with the U.S. over the past six months.

Assistant Secretaries Blake and Posner and NSC Director Donnelly will travel to Tashkent for regular consultations with the government, civil society, and multilateral partners in Uzbekistan.

During the talk, the leader of Uzbekistan informed the UN head about the concrete data, figures and facts, which give evidence about the unpunished killings, violence, pogroms and arson by organized gangs of bandits towards peaceful citizens, mainly Uzbek population, in the recent days in the south of the Kyrgyz Republic, in Osh city and Jalalabad region.

Kyrgyzstan violence threatens China’s burgeoning economic influence with neighbor.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2010/06/18/kyrgyzstan-violence-threatens-chinas-burgeoning-economic-influence-neighbor

BEIJING (AP) — Bustling trade between China and Kyrgyzstan has slowed to a trickle since deadly violence broke out in Kyrgyzstan, and experts say the crisis could diminish Beijing’s economic clout in the country while bolstering rival Russia’s already dominant influence.

Most days, as many as 200 trucks loaded with televisions, apples, T-shirts and other Chinese goods enter Kyrgyzstan at the Yi’erkeshitan Pass. On Thursday, however, no trucks and just four people crossed at the pass high in the Tianshan mountains in far western China’s Xinjiang region, according to an official with the border crossing administration.

snip

While hopeful that Russia can help stabilize the situation in Kyrgyzstan, Beijing is also warily watching how Moscow and Washington might use it to their advantage, Chinese Central Asia expert Sun Zhuangzhi wrote in Friday’s Global Times, a newspaper published by the ruling Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily.

“It would be unfavorable and unacceptable to China if Russia and the U.S. were to exchange strategic interests amid the crisis and in the process involve some of China’s interests in Kyrgyzstan in that swap,” Sun wrote.

Maybe China will send troops in to Kyrgy…… After all, they do know a bit about the Uigher gents given the vacation of their lives in The Bahamas at our expense.

UN appeals for $71 million to help multitude affected by ethnic unrest in Kyrgyzstan.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is appealing for $71 million to help hundreds of thousands of people affected by ethnic unrest in Kyrgyzstan. Ban told reporters that an estimated 300,000 people have been displaced by the fighting in southern Kyrgyzstan and up to 100,000 have fled across the border to Uzbekistan. He said tens of thousands more are waiting to cross the border.

The U.N. chief said there are shortages of food, water and electricity due to looting, a lack of supplies and restrictions on movement. Ban said he has been discussing options for restoring order and preventing further loss of life with the head of Kyrgyzstan’s interim government and other leaders in the region.

In remarks posted on the State Department website, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Kurmanbek Bakiyev, Kyrgyzstan’s president who was toppled in a revolt in April, may be to blame.

“Certainly, the ouster of President Bakiyev some months ago left behind those who were still his loyalists and very much against the provisional government,” she said. “There certainly have been allegations of instigation that have to be taken seriously.”

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-allows-ousted-kyrgyz-presidents-son-to-stay-for-now-2005617.html

The interim Kyrgyz government will press Britain to deny Mr Bakiyev asylum and extradite him. They have already threatened to close the US airbase, sited in the north of the country, unless he is returned. The airbase is a vital part in the resupply logistics for Nato’s Afghanistan operation. A small demonstration demanding Mr Bakiyev’s return was held outside the building that houses representatives of the UK’s Department for International Development in Bishkek, the Kyrgyz capital. Britain does not have an embassy there.

Officials accuse Mr Bakiyev of embezzling part of a £204m Russian loan to Kyrgyzstan and of “irregularities” in his management of the US airbase. According to a spokesman for the Kyrgyz prosecutor general’s office, a criminal case was launched against Mr Bakiyev in May. Before arriving in Britain, Mr Bakiyev, the former head of the Kyrgyz Central Agency for Development, was believed to have travelled to one of the Baltic states. An arrest warrant on fraud charges was issued through Interpol after he disappeared from the country.

“Kyrgyzstan, although making few headlines regarding its precarious energy situation, is currently attempting to steer a course between Scylla and Charybdis, the great monsters from Greek mythology who sat on opposite sides of a narrow channel and grabbed at passing sailors. Moving away from the Charybdis of doing nothing and falling further in debt to power-hungry Uzbekistan, Bishkek is developing domestic energy alternatives with foreign financing from Moscow and using its own natural resources as political tools. However, as in the myth, this potentially brings Kyrgyzstan closer to the multi-headed Scylla of regional conflict, persistent foreign control over its domestic energy sector, and committing violations of international law. “

WASHINGTON, April 13 (UPI) — In the intense international competition for Caspian hydrocarbons that developed after the 1991 collapse of communism, Western interest focused initially on Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. Turkmenistan was regarded largely as a closed market because of the mercurial policies of its president for life, “Turkmenbashi” or “father of the Turkmen,” Saparmurat Niyazov.

On April 9 at 1:32 a.m., an as yet unexplained explosion occurred at the 302nd-mile segment of the Truboprovodnaiia Sistema Sredniaia Aziia-Tsentr (the Central Asia-Center, or SATS, pipeline system) SATS-4 Davletbat-Daryalik pipeline between the Ilyaly and Deryalyk compressor stations near the Turkmen-Uzbek border, halting Turkmen natural gas exports to Russia. While little concrete information has been released about the incident, in an extraordinary move the following day, Turkmenistan’s Foreign Ministry blamed Russia for the pipeline explosion and subsequent conflagration that halted the country’s gas supplies to Moscow.

BISHKEK — Kyrgyzstan’s interim government set a date for parliamentary and presidential elections, stepping up efforts to build legitimacy after the country’s ousted president fled into exile.

The announcement of the election date came a day after Bakiyev broke his silence for the first time since fleeing into exile last week in order to declare that he still regarded himself as Kyrgyzstan’s president.

Bakiyev also denounced the interim government as “bandits” and urged the international community to refrain from granting them legitimacy.

Ethnic Uzbeks refuse to go home in Kyrgyzstan.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/feedarticle/9135265

Thousands of ethnic Uzbeks massed on the border of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are refusing to return to their homes in southern Kyrgyzstan, saying they fear for their lives. Associated Press reporters saw Kyrgyz troops enter the border village of Suratash early Sunday and tried to reassure refugees that it was safe to return home. The refugees declined, saying they don’t trust Kyrgyz authorities to provide protection.

Many refugees accuse Kyrgyz troops of abetting the pogroms that have left hundreds of Uzbeks dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. The refugees say they will not return home and are unsure where to go. The violence began over a week ago when mobs of ethnic Kyrgyz went on a rampage and burned entire Uzbek neighborhoods.

— — — — — — —

The Kyrgys attack the Uzbeks.
The Kyrgys then say to those same people – the one’s still alive – that it’s ok to go back to where we attacked you.

Under a new deal worth some 177 million dollars, the rent that Washington pays for the base — now called a “transit centre” — will be more than tripled, but it can only be used for non-lethal military supplies.

“Under the new Kyrgyz-US agreement, Manas airport will be used for the transport of non-military goods of a commercial nature, including construction materials, medicine, fuel, water and clothing,”

Kyrgyz police attack Uzbeks.

NARIMAN, Kyrgyzstan – Uzbek rights activists say police have attacked an ethnic Uzbek village in southern Kyrgyzstan, killing at least two people and wounding more than 20 others. The accusation adds to Uzbek claims of official collusion in rampages that killed up to 2,000 people in Central Asia’s worst ethnic violence in decades. It could also discourage some 400,000 ethnic Uzbeks who fled the violence from coming back.

Aziza Abdirasulova of the respected Kalym-Shaly rights group said he believed the mostly ethnic Kyrgyz police were taking revenge for the killing of a local police chief by Uzbeks in last week’s violence. The authorities couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. He says the attack took place in Nariman, on the outskirts of the country’s second-largest city of Osh.

Peace in the valley, eh ?

Ya better watch out or The New Constitution will get you.

Kyrgyz leader Roza Otunbayeva pledged on Monday to press ahead with a referendum in six days’ time for the sake of the country’s stability, despite calls to postpone it after a wave of ethnic violence.

Otunbayeva flew to Jalalabad, one of the southern Kyrgyz cities ravaged by the violence that has displaced 400,000 residents and raised concerns in the United States and Russia that turmoil could spread to other parts of Central Asia.

Her interim government has struggled to assert control in the south of the former Soviet republic since it assumed power after an April 7 revolt that overthrew the president. It plans a referendum on Sunday on constitutional reform to devolve more power to the prime minister. Some officials have said the vote should be postponed due to the violence and the difficulties in administering strife-torn southern regions.

Attention on deck !……… Budding new Dear Leader arriving……. Attention on deck !

…..and through all of this, I can find some baseline comedy……. really.

From February 1st of this year and a report from Agence France Presse………

Kyrgyzstan to issue passports for sheep…….. Life insurance and birth certificates too………….. They already do it for cows.

Ex-Soviet Kyrgyzstan is preparing to roll out a new system under which the millions of sheep residing in the mountainous state will receive their own high-tech passport, state television reported Monday.

First Deputy Prime Minister Akylbek Japarov said in an address to parliament the government has drafted a bill to deliver a cutting-edge passport to the nation’s sheep. “We are ready to make a passport for each sheep. That is, from their birth to their slaughter, it will be possible to recognise a sheep’s pedigree by using laser scanning,” he said.

— — — — — — —

There’s extremely serious Statist Totalitarian implications to this (bar codes and/or implants)…… Gee, if it’s this easy to get done with four-legged sheep, the ‘two-legged real sheep’ should be just as simple.

But just the thought of a sheep stepping up to get it’s driver’s license and being asked for it’s ID……… C’mon, that’s funny !

Clerk: ‘Hi, how are you today ?’

Sheep: ‘Not baaaaaaaaaaad.’

Trouble flares in Kyrgyzstan as vote nears.

http://in.reuters.com/article/idINIndia-49501020100621

Kyrgyzstan’s security forces clashed with ethnic Uzbeks on Monday in the south of the former Soviet republic, where up to 2,000 people were killed in a wave of bloodletting earlier this month.

Rights groups said four people were killed and more than 20 wounded when Kyrgyz forces raided an Uzbek village near Osh, epicenter of the ethnic clashes that broke out on June 10.

Gonna get worse. Bank on it.

Why ?

There appears to be more than two sides to this story and nobody seems to be in charge of at least one of those sides.

Russia and Belarus in energy feud as gas supply reduced.

http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-news-world/russia-and-belarus-in-energy-feud-as-gas-supply-reduced-20100622-ysmy.html

Russia reduced natural gas supplies to Belarus on Monday after Minsk failed to settle a debt, prompting Europe to activate crisis planning measures as concerns grew over a new “gas war”.

In a humiliating broadside at maverick Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, Medvedev said he should come up with hard cash — and not goods — to pay the bill. “Gazprom cannot accept anything towards the payment of the debt, neither pies nor butter, not cheese nor pancakes nor other means of payment,” Medvedev said.

Totally unrelated………. Right…….. Sure.

Gas going in or out doesn’t matter. It’s about control and bringing back the old S………… Oops, still haven’t solidified that yet, but it’s coming…… I can feel it.

are despotic hellholes with 1-2 favored and heavily subsidized industries, and not much in the way of a diversified economy. Add ethnic strife to the mix, and it’s, unfortunately, not a shock to see this news coming out of Kyrgyzstan. Most of this violence has been suppressed to the point that it almost never comes to the fore by the spate of oppressive governments that the area has been cursed with since at least the 18th century (and probably further back, depending on the state).

A great resource for keeping up with Central Asia (including Kyrgyzstan) is Registan.net. It’s been providing some great coverage on the goings-on there, and I highly recommend it to both you and anyone wondering what the heck’s going on over there.

Kyrgyz authorities say they plan to create a state-owned company to provide a U.S. air base with fuel, replacing a series of private intermediary firms set up under the recently deposed government.

A decree signed Tuesday by interim President Roza Otunbayeva orders the company to be formed over the next 10 days.

I’m guessing this is totally unrelated to anything going on anywhere else …….

Turkey to purchase high-altitude air defense systems.

Guess who’s the choice sellers ?

Ding ding ding……. Those dastardly Americans, or maybe the perfect partner in peace, Russia and possibly the new kid on the block, China who’s looking to tap into the Kyrgyzstan/Uzbekistan natural resource market (one way or the other).

http://www.worldbulletin.net/news_detail.php?id=60271

Turkey is planning to purchase high-altitude air defense systems in order to meet its military requirements.

According to military sources, USA, Russia and China are currently the top alternatives that can provide Turkey with high-altitude air defense systems.

— — — — — — —

Oh, now we’re an alternative.

Nice.

An alternative to what ?

Another global citizen ?

My guess is ‘you know who’ “will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction”, because the merde is getting really close to encountering the venitlateur in The Middle East.

My guess is that you should look for a heavy discount on Hi-Alt AA systems to Turkey…… because ‘you know who’ wants to create or save as many (unionized) jobs as possible……… Yeah, I know, these would be evil military jobs……. but that would be ok for ‘you know who’ if peace loving intent was the goal.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/06/22/1693725/rights-group-new-kyrgyz-raid-on.html

OSH, Kyrgyzstan — Troops beat several dozen men and women in an Uzbek neighborhood in southern Kyrgyzstan’s main city on Tuesday in a raid that deepened refugees’ fears about returning to an area seared by an eruption of deadly ethnic violence, Human Rights Watch reported.

The building has served as a shelter and makeshift hospital for the few remaining Uzbeks. The Kyrgyz forces put all the men face down on the floor, beat them and detained 12, Neistat said. The attackers also beat some of the women and stole cash and valuables from them.

On Friday, the United States delegation in Geneva teamed up with the government of Kyrgyzstan to protect the authorities instead of the people. In the face of what the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has called an “immense” humanitarian crisis, the Council adopted a U.S.-Kyrgyz initiative as trivial as its title suggests: “technical assistance and cooperation on human rights in Kyrgyzstan.”

Southern Kyrgyzstan is engulfed in ethnic violence that has affected more than one million people, left 400,000 homeless and thousands of dead and injured according to the U.N. Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the ICRC. The Kyrgyz government is failing to provide protection and to stop the violence, with numerous reports that government security forces are contributing to the targeting of Uzbeks.

On Sunday I lay in bed and watched an Uzbek man be burned alive. The video starts with a fire in the center of a crowd. At first it is not even clear that the fire is a human being. As the Uzbek man thrashes and screams, the crowd laughs and applauds, shouting insults in Kyrgyz. No one makes a move to save him.

I watch the Uzbek man writhing on the ground, screaming in pain, as a Kyrgyz man emerges from the crowd and runs to him. At first I thought he was going to help him, but instead he kicks him while the crowd roars in approval. My two-year-old daughter looks up at me and says “Who’s making that sound?” and I shut the laptop off.

After that, the write-up gets going.

Wow……. Simply….. Wow.

It’s such a peace-loving thing, ain’t it ?

Islamist groups sparked violence.

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) — Kyrgyzstan’s security agency claimed Thursday that relatives of the toppled president colluded with the Taliban and other Islamic militant movements to provoke the ethnic violence that has destabilized the Central Asian nation.

The security agency said two of former President Kurmanbek Bakiyev’s relatives met last month in Afghanistan with representatives of the Taliban, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and Tajik militants to discuss plans to trigger unrest in Kyrgyzstan.

— — — — — — —

Um………. Yeah…….. What a surprise – A total shocker on all levels and directions.

All together now lefties…… It’s Bush’s Fault !

Kyrgyz voters will vote on Sunday in a referendum that the country’s interim leader says is crucial to restoring order after a wave of ethnic bloodshed.

Airplanes dropped government leaflets over the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek on Thursday urging people to vote and ignore what it described as provocations plotted by Bakiyev allies during the referendum.

Under the new charter, Otunbayeva would remain interim president until the end of 2011, before stepping aside.

— — — — — — —

Voters to be asked one question ?

ONE QUESTION ?

They’re voting on an entirely new Constitution. Teh Gubmint there said so themselves (see above within all the postings).

ONE QUESTION ?

This must be another one of those “we have to pass the bill so you can know what’s in it” kind of things.

Maybe I can get a phone call into Mr. Soros by the end of the business day tomorrow and find out how voting totals will be on Sunday.

I guess we can all “hope” for some “change” in Kyrgyzstan.

George Soros is trying to control the news (and probably events) in Kyrgyzstan.

He owns and funds Eurasia.net and has given grants – not loans – simply given over $37 Billion USD to one organization there since 1993 – ARIS – http://eng.aris.kg – a community organizing entity. I can only imagine how much more money he’s run in to that nation’s evil through additional ‘agencies’ and other means.

The Russian and American governments are discussing a bilateral government deal, under which Russian state-controlled oil companies Rosneft and Gazpromneft would supply kerosene directly to the Manas Transit Centre, a crucial logistics hub for the war in Afghanistan.

According to a report in Eurasianet, the Central Asia news site funded by George Soros, the US-Russia supply deal is under “active consideration” by both sides, and could be signed as early as this Thursday’s meeting of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and US President Barack Obama in Washington.

On Monday, Kyrgyzstan’s interim President Roza Otunbayeva, signed a decree nationalising the companies which own the fuel depot at Manas.

OSH, Kyrgyzstan (AP) – Investigators in southern Kyrgyzstan have begun exhuming the bodies of those killed during ethnic rampages that claimed hundreds of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands. Southern parts of this impoverished Central Asian nation were thrown into chaos by five days of ethnic violence during which mobs of Kyrgyz attacked ethnic Uzbek neighborhoods. The violence followed a bloody uprising in April that toppled President Kurmanbek Bakiyev.

A large number of victims have not been officially identified because many were buried quickly in keeping with Muslim tradition. Acting deputy Interior Minster Bakyt Alynbayev said Saturday digging up the corpses was essential for full investigations and compensation claims.

Hi, CNN….. A very belated and sincere ‘welcome to the party’ (so to speak). Nice to see you. I am truly apologizing for not including this link when you ran it up. I didn’t link it because I honestly haven’t (until this moment when I saw the link on my latest Bing search) thought to look at CNN for anything relevant or factual.

I’ll now add your website to the multi-time-daily look around the interwebby thing for happenings in Kyrgy and the rest of ‘The Stans’.

However, here’s an honest challenge from someone (me) who hasn’t watched CNN in literally a decade………..

Maybe…… Just maybe y’all can soon start to regularly report on what’s going on in Kyrgyzstn, Uzbekistan (about to start in) Tajikistan and the rest of the region as it all pertains to reality, instead of your usual political agenda.

Stalin’s divide and conquer produces pogroms in Kyrgyzstan.

A photo in the San Francisco Chronicle on June 19 gave me a flashback. In a sea of barbed wire, a young mother with a toddler in one arm and infant in another was trying to get into Uzbekistan.

She is Uzbek, but lives in Kyrgyzstan, where she is now a hunted minority because Stalin deliberately put borders that mixed mutually hostile ethnic populations. This is “Divide and Conquer,” a method used by colonial powers to keep their subjects off balance and controllable.

— — — — — — —

Ya know, not to change the subject, but some folks might say the current administration here in America and those who own it lock stock and Quran are doing the same exact thing (minus the visible genocide ‘ethnic cleansing’ for now, that is).

Americans in Kyrgyzstan under official warning……… Fill your gas tanks, charge your cell phones, stay close to your homes, “keep a low profile,” and have an emergency kit available.

From my perspective, that so-called “emergency kit” best include……. um……. some……… toys……… yeah, that’s it……… toys – just in case you have the absolutely unavoidable need to play (not urge, but need).

On eve of election in Kyrgyzstan, Otunbayeva arrives in Osh.

The head of the Kyrgyz interim government has arrived in the troubled southern city of Osh to participate in Sunday’s referendum on the constitution, a government official said Saturday. “Roza Otunbayeva will vote on Sunday in one of the regions of Osh,” government official Roza Daudova told reporters, according to the Russian state-run news agency Ria Novosti.

Otunbayeva said Friday that some 170 international observers will monitor Sunday’s referendum. Another government official said Saturday that about 7,500 police officers and 7,500 volunteers were being deployed to ensure security during the vote.

— — — — — — —

If Osh is the center of the storm, then this is one hell of a big system, because the elections are Kyrgy national, not just in Osh & Bishkek.

=======================

Agence France Presse reports that The US Senate called Friday for a “full and fair” investigation into deadly ethnic clashes in southern Kyrgyzstan and urged all parties in the former Soviet republic to refrain from violence. The Senate, in a unanimously approved resolution, also appealed for help for civilians displaced or injured as a result of the violence, especially among the ethnic Uzbek population along the Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan border.

The resolution also put the US Senate on the record as backing “calls for a full and fair investigation into the causes of the violence in southern Kyrgyzstan.”

Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman John Kerry, a Democrat, and Senator Richard Lugar, the panel’s top Republican, wrote the measure.

— — — — — — —

Want to know what’s what there Senator Kerry ? What about you, Senator Lugar ? Either of you gonna stop playing kissy-face with the pure evil in the administration and start doing your job which (if you forgot) is to uphold and defend The Constitution ?

His hand-picked and sanitized mini-me is in the big chair at 1600, plus people crazier and much more deadly than Gyorgy-boy are surrounding his beloved Jihadist In Chief.

Soros has thrown $37 Billion into one single community organizing entity in Kyrgyzstan since 1993 and now real evil is afoot in that nation and the surrounding area, including all the “change” to our military operations being based there.

Kyrgyzstan votes on new constitution.

The population of Kyrgyzstan has not been told what’s already in, or what will be in their new constitution, other than the Prime Minister will have more power over the Kyrgy Parliament.

=== === === === === === ===

Kyrgyzstan election under way amid concerns.

Official media quoted government officials saying that all 2,281 polling stations nationwide were accepting ballots.

But little was known about progress in the south, where the worst of the violence happened earlier this month.

— — — — — — —

Little is known about what’s going on in the South half of Kyrgy,……. Gee I wonder why ?

=== === === === === === ===

Behold a perfect example of what is going on in Kyrgyzstan…….. Two quotes from the Associated Press link to follow. You can guess which side of freedom each person belongs.

“We couldn’t delay that because the power of the state had to be established.”

“In Kyrgyzstan, the people that draw up the law themselves break the law within the space of six months.”

Kyrgyzstan holds vote only weeks after riots.

OSH, Kyrgyzstan — The people of violence-wracked Kyrgyzstan voted Sunday on a new constitution just weeks after deadly ethnic purges — a vote that the interim government hopes will legitimize the power it seized in April.

The Central Asian nation was on high security alert for the vote, deploying almost 8,000 police officers and an equal number of defense volunteers to keep the peace after rampages that killed hundreds of ethnic Uzbeks.

snip

Seven hours after polls opened, over 41 percent of the nation’s 2.7 million eligible voters had cast their ballots, the Central Election Commission reported.

— — — — — — —

The people definitely know this election means a great deal…… They just haven’t the slightest idea whatsoever what’s going to happen, because they don’t know what’s in their new Constitution.

…….and again, George Soros has dumped $37 Billion dollars to ONE in-country community organizing entity since 1993. ARIS….. http://eng.aris.kg

Kyrgyzstan’s interim president calls vote on new constitution a success, says turnout was high.

“We have passed the new constitution for our republic,” Otunbayeva said at a news conference. “It will not be an interim but a legal and legitimate government … we are leaving the word interim behind.”

snip

Sunday’s vote – supported by the U.N., the U.S. and Russia – was seen as an important step on the road to democracy for the interim government, which came to power after former President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was ousted in April following deadly street protests. It needed the vote to legitimize its power after the uprising against Bakiyev.

— — — — — — —

Supported by the UN, The US and Russia……….. Kyrgyzstasn is doomed.

So, a just an hour or so after voting closed for 2.7 million eligible voters with about a 65% turnout at a few thousand polling places using only paper ballots counted, verified, certified and using the nations extremely intense communications and logistics network, transmitted the results to a central place, who then got hold of the interim PM in an area where reliable communications are shaky at best with the official results.

Why am I bothering…… Nobody cares.

Time Magazine……. It’s simply a switching of names and locations. the agenda is the same.

International observers on Monday praised Kyrgyzstan’s constitutional referendum, saying the vote was conducted in a transparent and remarkably peaceful manner despite a lingering climate of fear…………………

Kyrgyzstan’s interim government has claimed victory in a controversial referendum, held just two weeks after 2,000 people were killed and tens of thousands were left homeless in ethnic violence.

Rosa Otunbayeva, the country’s acting leader, said she had won overwhelming support for her plan to create a new parliamentary system. “The new constitution of the Kyrgyz republic has been approved,” she said in the capital, Bishkek. “We are proud of our country, which made this choice at a difficult hour.”

What choice ?

Vote yes or no. You must do it – quickly – before it’s too late.

Too late ?…… For what ?

Our new Constitution.

OK, great. What’s it say ?

You have to vote for it and have it pass before we tell you.

Oh goody……. ‘Hope’ it’s good stuff…..We’re getting “change” here in Kyrgyzstan too, just like they’re getting in The United States.

Kazakhstan’s President Nursultan Nazarbayev says that tackling poverty and promoting tolerance among different ethnic groups were crucial to maintaining order in the region next to Afghanistan.

My, but aren’t we all hopey-changey this morning ?

“Chaos and destabilisation in the region play into the hands of criminals engaged in the illegal trade of drugs, arms and human trafficking,” he said.

President Nazarbayev: With all respect due to an international head of state, have you…… um…….. been sniffin’ glu………. er…….. even remotely paying attention to th…….. oh wait………. ARIS……. George Soros………. I forgot ……… Never mind.

Oh look, isn’t this sweet……… More hopey-changey talk…..

The strategically positioned nation is in the hands of a fractious coalition of volatile personalities who look set to pitch battle against one another in parliamentary elections in October.

With Otunbayeva calling for prospective candidates in her provisional Cabinet to resign, saying that is the only way to ensure a fair playing field in the parliamentary vote, the government may be showing cracks that could rapidly lead to outright collapse.

But the appeal of a charismatic, strong-arm personality campaigning on a law and order ticket will grow stronger as perceptions of public disorder continue to fester. The Kyrgyz people may look toward somebody who can rise above the ethnic, geographical and clan loyalties that have long plagued the nation. And that could very well lead Kyrgyzstan’s tortuous trek to democracy back to square one.

— — — — — — —

The main question: Was PM Otunbayeva for any of these cabinet ministers before she was against them ?

“……somebody who can rise above the ethnic, geographical and clan loyalties that have long plagued the nation.”……………… Sounds like a job for a new breed of superhero – a real honest-to-goodness “Captain Kick Ass” Dudley Do-Right, Super Chicken and Josef Stalin all rolled into one neat little Community Organizer package.

Anyone ever see somebody like that ?……… Anybody ?…….. Buehler ?………. Buehler ?

It was my nation and I’ll scream if I want to, scream if I want to, scream if I want to……. You would scream too if it happened to you……………..

Minsk, Belarus (CNN) — Ousted Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiev said Monday that Sunday’s referendum establishing a new constitution was illegitimate. He vehemently denied accusations that he was behind recent violence that killed scores of ethnic Uzbeks.

Bakiev maintained he was still president of the Central Asian nation but acknowledged he is no longer in charge and not likely to return to power any time soon.

“We believe the referendum is valid. The new constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic has been approved,” Otunbayeva said. “It will not be an interim but a legal and legitimate government,” she added. “We are leaving the word interim behind.”

After the interview’s recording equipment was shut down, Ms. Otunbayeva was heard saying “Besides, it’s all Bush’s Bakiev’s fault !”

Anybody seeing any parallels at all yet ?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ?

UN, US officials visit site of Kyrgyzstan clashes.

OSH, Kyrgyzstan (AP) — U.N. and U.S. officials visited southern Kyrgyzstan on Wednesday to figure out how to help some 375,000 ethnic Uzbeks driven from their homes by violence.

Rampages by majority Kyrgyz mobs that began June 10 killed hundreds of ethnic Uzbeks and reduced entire Uzbek neighborhoods to scorched ruins.

A group led by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Eric Schwartz and U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres visited the southern city of Osh – the country’s second-largest city and the epicenter of the violence.

Anybody paying attention ?

Do you know who those gents are who were skipping down the streets of Osh hand in hand whistling show tunes together ?

My header should have said the following: US Leftist Asst. Sec. Of State (and CFR member) Eric Schwartz, along with UN one-world-Totalitarian Rule believer Commissioner Antonio Guterres visit Kyrgyzstan…… Common denominator: Do the initials ‘G.S.’ mean anything to you ?

Don’t you dare tell me connecting the three of them is a stretch, or a thin hook up at best…… ARIS – A community organizing entity in Kyrgyzstan that ‘G.S’. gave over $37 Billion to since 1993.

Like minds of their nature tend to interact when it matters to them, usually on a global-planning scale, sometimes even giving each other pats on the back in public…….. With the Statists, Totalitarian, one-worlders, the relationships and actual in-person meet-ups are not uncommon, but usually are kept in the background – on purpose.

This interwebby thing is quite a phenom for finding things, eh ?

Uzbekistan Sending Wounded Refugees Back To Kyrgyzstan.

http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900sid/VVOS-86VR7E

OSH, Kyrgyzstan — Kyrgyzstan’s Health Ministry has said it’s begun transporting wounded refugees from Uzbekistan to hospitals in the southern Kyrgyz regions of Osh and Jalal-Abad, RFE/RL’s Kyrgyz Service reports.

snip

The press release said officials plan to transport a total of some 180 injured refugees back to Kyrgyzstan.

It noted that some 2,240 people have asked for medical assistance and an additional 1,050 have been hospitalized since violence broke out between ethnic Uzbeks and Kyrgyz in the southern cities of Osh and Jalal-Abad on June 10.

My initial thought after reading the headline and before reading the article was, ‘Do they want to go back ?’

=========================

Kyrgyz humanitarian crisis enters new phase.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9GLM85G0

The humanitarian crisis in Kyrgyzstan entered a new phase Wednesday as relief agencies rushed to shift their aid to refugees returning to their burned and looted homes and warned of more widespread violence if they fail to dampen tensions.

snip

In the Kara-Suu district of Osh, tents provided by the UNHCR have been pitched up within the charred remains of Uzbek houses, allowing families to live on the sites of their former homes and begin the painstaking reconstruction effort. The U.N. has appealed for $71 million in emergency assistance funds, in part to rebuild homes before the winter sets in.

Kyrgyz officials countered with their own warning to international aid agencies to distribute aid to Kyrgyz as well, some of whose homes were also burned during the clashes in Osh, the country’s second-largest city. “The wounds are still very fresh and far from healing, so if you give help only to one side, then the other side could see it as unjust,” said Aigul Ryskulova, Kyrgyzstan’s presidential coordinator for refugees and humanitarian aid.

Read it all.

It’s beyond politicized…… Trust me……. ARIS has got to be deeply involved here and they’re keeping an insanely low profile.

=========================

I found this link by accident – a five-day-old report from UPI……….
(Emphasis mine.)

POLIO OUTBREAK IN TAJIKSTAN — CASES IN UZBEKISTAN AND RUSSIA.

OTTAWA, June 25 (UPI) — A polio outbreak in Tajikistan raises concerns the disease could spread to other regions in the world, an editorial in a Canadian journal says.

The editorial, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, says this is the first persistent outbreak of polio in a country that was previously certified to be polio-free and it is imperative that health agencies try to limit further spread by ensuring high vaccination rates. Cases are appearing in Russia and Uzbekistan.

IS ANYBODY HERE EVEN REMOTELY WONDERING WHAT’S GOING ON ?

There are NO coincidences anymore…… NONE.

Huddled in the charred ruins of what is left of their homes, Uzbeks say that arrests and raids by government troops have become part of their lives in the wake of last month’s violence in the volatile Central Asian nation.

“We are not afraid of mobs or looters. We are afraid of the military,” said Misiryo Ismanova, as her five-year-old daughter played in the rubble outside the blackened shell of their house.

About 2,000 servicemen are now deployed in Osh. Servicemen patrol the dusty streets wielding AK-47s, some wearing T-shirts and trainers. The authorities say their mission is to take weapons from civilians, arrest criminals and restore order.

But….. but……. but…….. Kyrgyzstan’s people just voted on and approved a new Constitution !…….. It’s all better now !…… Teh gubmint said so !

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT’S IN THE NEW KYRGYZSTAN CONSTITUTION.

Enslavement, tyranny, elimination of all individual rights,

Change.

The following article is translated from Bulgarian and on that nation’s “Focus Information Agency” – an independent news service.

EU Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva to visit Kyrgyzstan to assess the humanitarian situation.

European Commissioner for International Cooperation, Humanitarian assistance and Crisis Response, Kristalina Georgieva, will leave today for Kyrgyzstan, press centre of the European Commission representation in Sofia announced. During the two-day visit the EU Commissioner will discuss the humanitarian situation with Kyrgyz authorities and the opportunity to visit the town of Osh, which was most seriously affected by the recent ethnic clashes.

Yep, go on ahead and talk to the people who it looks like are causing the problem on what to do about the problem.

Makes total sense……. Daaaaaaaah…….. You can’t outsmart me, because I’m a moron.

Somebody pass the gaffer’s tape…… Gotta wrap my head a few more times so when it explodes, I don’t leave a mess here at RedState.

Clueless…… Simply clueless………or is it deliberately misleading ?

This “game” is being “played” by untold power with millions of lives as the “game pieces”.

“I promise that before the onset of cold weather, the Kyrgyz government will provide housing for all who lost the roofs over their head,”……….. Roza Otunbayeva, Inauguration speech, 2 July 2010.

Kyrgyzstan swears in caretaker president .

“As president, I will spare no effort in creating a new political culture based on strict adherence to the rule of law,” Otunbayeva said in a speech interrupted periodically by bouts of rhythmic clapping from the audience.

— — — — — — —

The rhythmic clapping went along with rhythmic chanting…… Yes We Can….. Yes We Can…… Yes We Can……..

Pray tell……. How is the Kyrgyzstan government – one not exactly known for being flush with cash – how are they going to build all that housing ?……. Remember that many structures in Osh and Bishkek were destroyed during the Muslim terrorist enhanced violent riots protests.

What’s that you said ? Some NGO will come along and take over ruling the government donate some funds ?…….. You mean to tell me that you were actually paying a modicum of attention ?

Give yourself a cookie.

The IMF says Kyrgyzstan’s annual GDP is less than $5 Billion, with a per-capita income of less than $1,000.

ARIS – A Kyrgy-based community organizing agency…… $37 Billion from George Soros since 1993.

Looks like Mr. Soros has purchased at least one more nation.

Last week, the Kyrgyz president’s office called offering an interview. I quickly packed up in the south and rushed for the capital, Bishkek. The flights were sold out, but I paid for space in the rear of a small plane, where they stow extra luggage. And I thankfully made it to meet President Roza Otunbayeva.
