CSTO peacekeepers in Kazakhstan: Protest against Kyrgyzstan’s participation held

Another protest against the dispatch of Kyrgyz servicemen as part of the CSTO peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan takes place today near the parliament building in Bishkek.

About 30 people urge deputies not to make a decision on the participation of the Kyrgyz military in the peacekeeping mission in Kazakhstan.

The protest is taking place for the second day in a row.

Mass protests in Kazakhstan began in early 2022. Residents of Zhanaozen and Aktau in Mangistau region opposed the increase in prices for liquefied gas, then the protests spread to other cities. Clashes with security officials continue in Almaty. The Internet is periodically turned off throughout the country, the media practically do not work.

The President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev introduced a state of emergency in the republic, dismissed the government and became the head of the Security Council. At his request, the CSTO countries sent peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan.
