Tình hình Kazakhstan và mùa xuân Trung Á

Tầm bậy thật. Ông tổng thống này phát biểu như vậy khác gì thách thức người dân mày có gan xuống đường lần nữa tao coi. Đúng là hoạ từ miệng mà ra, bệnh từ miệng mà vào.

Bọn Mỹ thì ở ngoài xúi khôn xúi dại, mời Nga vào dễ, tiễn Nga đi khó.

Blinken says. "Having said that, I think one lesson of recent history is that, once Russians are in your house, it's sometimes very difficult to get them to leave," he adds

Nhiều khi chuyện này ban lãnh đạo Ka-dắc-tăng dứt khoát quá lại hoá vụn. Mời Nga vào sau này phải tính đến chuyện tiễn Nga đi. Chưa Kể bọn Mỹ ghét Nga, bây giờ Nga ở trong nhà mình như thế thì bọn Mỹ chúng nó ghét lây luôn mình thì khổ. Từ đứng ngoài bàng quan bây giờ bọn Mỹ có lý do nhảy vào bơm cho bọn biểu tình có vũ trang để kiềm chân một lực lượng đáng kể lính Nga ở trung á thay vì đóng ở vùng Volga-Rostov để hăm Ukraina.

Putin phải điều quân qua để giữ cái sân bay vũ trụ Baikonous chứ, rồi mỏ Uranium làm VKHN các kiểu. Ngày xưa mua của Úc bị nó từ chối bán Uranium phải mua của Kazakhstan

Cụ Trump lên, thế giới rõ ràng là hoà bình hơn hẳn, giờ Biden bị lão hoá nhớ nhớ quên quên chưa kịp dọn rác cụ xả ra thì hết nửa nhiệm kì cmn rồi, loay hoay 1 năm nữa là lại vứt hết để lo chuyện giữ đít giành ghế.
Cũng đến cái lúc siêu cường ko đi sen đầm khắp thế gian đc nữa.

Bọn Mỹ với chiêu trò chia để trị đã dựng kịch bản rằng Nazarbayev là người đứng sau vụ leo thang biểu tình vũ trang lần này.

In Kazakhstan’s Street Battles, Signs of Elites Fighting Each Other


But it remains a mystery how peaceful protests over a rise in fuel prices last weekend in Zhanaozen, a grimy, Soviet-era settlement near the Caspian Sea, suddenly spread more than 1,000 miles across the full length of Central Asia’s largest country, turning the biggest and most prosperous Kazakh city into a war zone littered with dead bodies, burned buildings and incinerated cars.

The violence this week in Almaty, Kazakhstan’s former capital and still its business and cultural hub, shocked just about everyone — not only its leader, who, fortified by Russian troops, Friday ordered security forces to “fire without warning” to restore order, but also government critics who have long bridled at repression and rampant corruption in the oil-rich nation.

The crisis coincided with a power struggle within the government, fuelling talk that the people fighting in the streets were proxies for feuding factions of the political elite. There is also feverish speculation about Kremlin meddling and a host of other murky possible causes. About the only thing that is clear is that the country’s convulsions involve more than a straightforward clash between protesters expressing discontent and the heavy-handed security apparatus of an authoritarian regime.

With Kazakhstan now largely sealed off from the outside world — its main airports are closed or commandeered by Russian troops, while internet services and phone lines are mostly down — information is scarce.

Echoing the refrain of repressive leaders around the world confronted with protests, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Friday lashed out at liberals and human rights defenders, lamenting that authorities had been too lax.

Not many people are buying that, particularly as it is a message endorsed by Russia, which Thursday sent in troops to help Tokayev regain control and has a long record of construing all expressions of discontent at home and in other former Soviet territory as the work of disgruntled liberal troublemakers.

But there is growing evidence that the mayhem in Almaty, the epicentre of this week’s turmoil, was more than just people power run amok.

Tokayev, in an address to the nation Friday, alluded to that, claiming that the violence was the work of some 20,000 “ban***s” who he said were organised from “a single command post.” Calls for negotiations with such people, he added, were “nonsense” because “they need to be destroyed and this will be done.”

Danil Kislov, a Russian expert on Central Asia who runs Fergana, a news portal focused on the region, speculated that the chaos was the result of “a desperate struggle for power” between feuding political clans, namely people loyal to Tokayev, 68, and those beholden to his 81-year-old predecessor, Nursultan Nazarbayev.
At the height of the tumult Wednesday, the president announced that he had taken over as head of the security council, a job held until then by Nazarbayev, who stepped down as president in 2019 but retained wide powers and was given the honorary title of Elbasy, or leader of the nation. Tokayev also fired Nazarbayev’s nephew Samat Abish as deputy head of the main security service and purged several others close to the former president.

The riots in Almaty, Kislov said, appeared to be an attempt by members of Nazarbeyev’s political clan to reverse their eclipse.

“This was all artificially organised by people who really had power in their hands,” he said, adding that Nazarbayev’s ousted nephew seems to have played a major role in organising the unrest.

Galym Ageleulov, a human-rights activist in Almaty who took part in what began as a peaceful demonstration Wednesday, said police officers monitoring the protest suddenly vanished around lunchtime. And “then this crowd came,” he said, an unruly mob of what seemed more like thugs than the kind of people — students, bookish dissidents and middle-class malcontents — who usually turn out for protests in Kazakhstan.

He said the mob was “clearly organised by crime group marauders” and surged down main streets toward Akimat, the City Hall, setting cars on fire and storming government offices.

Among those who urged the crowd on was Arman Dzhumageldiev, known as “Arman the Wild,” by reputation one of the country’s most powerful gangsters, who witnesses said provoked much of the violence. He gave frantic speeches on Almaty’s central square as government buildings blazed behind him, calling for people to press the government to make concessions and mocking as a “coward” Mukhtar Ablyazov, an exiled tycoon who is a bitter personal enemy of Kazakhstan’s longtime former president, Nazarbayev.

On Friday, the interior ministry said that its special forces unit had arrested Dzhumageldiev, together with five accomplices. Dzhumageldiev was the leader of an organised criminal gang, the ministry said.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters in Washington on Friday that the United States still has questions about Tokayev’s request for military reinforcements from a Russian-led alliance. “It’s not clear why they feel the need for any outside assistance, so we’re trying to learn more about it,” he said.
“One lesson in recent history is that once Russians are in your house, it’s sometimes very difficult to get them to leave,” Blinken added.

Later on Friday, the State Department said it was allowing nonemergency personnel at its consulate general in Almaty to leave voluntarily, citing the potential for sudden eruptions of violence.

That a possible power struggle could have morphed so quickly into mayhem on the streets is a measure of how brittle Kazakhstan is beneath the shiny surface of wealthy, cosmopolitan cities like Almaty.

Discontent, even if exploited by political elites, is very real. The country is less repressive than most in a region dominated by brutal strongmen — the former dictator of neighbouring Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, was accused of boiling his critics in vats of oil and having hundreds of protesters massacred in the town of Andijan in 2005.

But whatever the relative tolerance of their leaders, many Kazakhs still resent a kleptocratic elite that has poured billions into showcase projects like the construction of a new capital, named Nursultan in honour of the former president, while neglecting the well-being of many ordinary people.

The roots of that discontent are in places like Zhanaozen, the western oil town where this week’s protests began — and where security forces in December 2011 opened fire on a group of striking workers. Unlike protests in Almaty, those in Zhanaozen and other western towns along the Caspian Sea, the centre of the Kazakh oil industry, have been peaceful throughout the week.

The region’s senior official, Zhanarbek Baktybaev, said Friday that there had been no violence, lamenting that “as you know, in some region of our country there have been riots and looting by terrorist elements.” Vital services, he said, were all working normally.

Mukhtar Umbetov, a lawyer for the independent trade union in Aktau, next to Zhanaozen, said by telephone that protests had continued with no violence in the west of the country and expressed the anger of ordinary workers over rising inflation and stagnant salaries.

“Kazakhstan is a rich country,” Umbetov said, “but these resources do not work in the interests of the people; they work in the interests of the elites. There is a huge stratification of society.”

Shocked by violence a decade ago in western Kazakhstan, a country that Washington regarded as a stable and dependable partner, the Senate and House held a joint hearing attended by experts on the country, including a former US ambassador there, William B Courtney.

Courtney described the December 2011 bloodshed “as an aberration” but “symptomatic of the wide gap between rulers and ruled, between reality and expectations, between those who live honestly and those who do not.” Kazakhstan’s political development, he added, “is stunted by 20 years of authoritarian rule.”

The title of the hearing: “Kazakhstan: As Stable as its Government Claims?” If nothing else, the events of the past week have at least answered that question.

Sau khi tổng thống Tokayev tiếp quản quyền chủ tịch hội đồng an ninh quốc gia từ tay Nazarbaev; ông đã sa thải phó chủ nhiệm thứ nhất tổng cục an ninh quốc gia (KNB), Samat Abish. Samat Abish là cháu ruột của Nazarbaev. Hiện theo tin tổng hợp trên mạng thì đại gia đình của Nazarbaev đã rồi khỏi Kazakhstan ngay khi biểu tình phản đối chính sách leo thang thành biểu tình có vũ trang.

Một điều thú vị nữa là sau khi Nazarbaev bị đẩy khỏi vị trí quyền lực cuối cùng thì Tập Cận Bình đã có thông điệp trực tiếp thể hiện lập trường ủng hộ tổng thống Tokayev trấn áp bạo loạn. Mạnh mẽ hơn nhiều khi so với hầu hết các nước chỉ để bộ ngoại giao lên tiếng.

Mấy này dễ lắm. Đợi bọn Nga đưa xe tăng vào xong bơm TOW cho bọn thảo khấu nó phang mỗi ngày 1 chiếc thì chẳng mấy Nga hết xe đi mua xe tầu khựa cạnh bên cho gần

Dân thường Kazakhstan tình nguyện chung tay với lực lượng quân đội, an ninh bảo vệ các cơ quan, xí nghiệp trước nạn thảo khấu.
