The unanswered questions in Kazakhstan
Manage episode 317536162 series 2466489
Russian-led forces are leaving the Central Asian country after days of unrest over the rise of gas prices, corruption, and inequality. 160 people have been killed and about 12,000 have been arrested, according to authorities. Many don't know the whereabouts of their loved ones.
President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev claimed the unrest was an attempted coup d’etat performed by foreign-trained “bandits and terrorists.” This week, he named a new prime minister and promised to unveil a political reform package by September of this year, but will that be enough for protesters?
