According to Russian sources,
Riots at many cities. The usual US-controlled disinformation resources are out in full force to support the insurrection. The levels of violence are very high, even ambulances are attacked, cops are beaten up, disarmed, undressed, and humiliated, weapons stores have been emptied.

The Internet has been disconnected, as has power in many parts of Almaty and Nursultan.

This is a repeat of what the US tried in Belarus and in Kyrgyzstan, and the next couple of days will be crucial.

Many government buildings have been seized and burned, some have been re-taken by the authorities. Law and order have broken down and groups of thugs are controlling the streets in many locations.

There are reports of organized armed groups engaging in firefights with police, security, and military forces.

One source reports that Kazakh Airborne Forces are also engaged. There are also reports of Takfiri elements using these riots (officially triggered by an increase in the cost of gas).

Official sources report 8 dead and 317 wounded among the police forces. The authorities lost control over several cities (including Alma-Ata) and 3 airports (part of which were torched). Astana and Pavlodar remain under the control of authorities.

President Tokaev has requested assistance of the Collective Security Treaty Organization. CSTO peace keepers are being deployed to Kazakhstan.

Martial law has been decreed for the entire country.

President Tokaev has claimed that his country was under foreign attack.

These events are a direct threat to both Russia and China. Turkey seems to be pushing its pan-Turkic agenda. The CIA supported Uighur Takfiris also seemed to be involved. This is all taken straight out of the CIA playbook: Twitter, Telegram channels (including NEXTA), Soros-funded organizations, etc. are all deeply involved (including Ukie PSYOPs units).

Russian Special Forces on the way.
“a peacekeeping contingent to Kazakhstan, reported that a special forces company of the 76th Airborne Division, as well as a company of the 45th Airborne special forces brigade, received the command from Russia.”
“Groups from the second and 24th special forces brigades of the Central Military District are also “on high alert”, they “can be reinforced by the battalion of the 55th mountain brigade also from the Central Military District, but the last order has not yet arrived,” reports REN TV.”
“An air group for Kazakhstan is being formed at Kubinka and Chkalovsky airfields. It will include several passenger aircraft, as well as cargo IL-76 and AN-124 aircraft, ” the report says.

“It should be noted that Kazakhstan had decided to switch from Cyrillic to the Roman alphabet. So it was flirting with the West. Just as Ukraine and Georgia and other countries have been. “

Because doubling the cost of liquefied gas products won't cause riot anywhere in the world.

This is always my problem with the Russian allies with the former Soviet Union. You have the cause of your problem; "High cost of LGP" , but instead of addressing that, here they are trying to blame America for it.

It even happened here in Nigeria, new year 2012. Mass strike and protest across the country. If security operatives were sent to subdue the people, riot would have been the result. Or was it America that caused that too.

Address your problem or kill your people. It's all good

the masses are angry!
more of this drama to happen in those country rules by corrupt leaders just like it happened here in Nigeria sometimes ago.

Dozens eliminated’ after trying to storm police stations in Kazakhstan – official


Kazakhstani security services have claimed that they prevented attempts to storm police buildings in the country’s former capital, Almaty, on Wednesday night, killing dozens of protesters involved in the attacks.

Demonstrators tried to take over the force's headquarters and several stations across the city overnight, police spokeswoman Altanat Avirbek said on Thursday morning.

She indicated that those attempts had been curbed, while “dozens of attackers were eliminated.”

“Their identities are being established now,” she added, without revealing any more details.

“Anti-terrorist operations” have been ongoing at three police buildings in the city, according to the spokeswoman, who urged residents in those areas to stay indoors.

During the night, several hundred troops also surrounded Almaty’s main square and engaged in a gunfight with a group of rioters. The security perimeter has since been removed, and the soldiers have left.

The military had been deployed in the city of two million people, the country's largest, after a day of violence on Wednesday, which saw angry mobs overrunning government buildings, including the old presidential residence and the mayor’s office.

The airport had also fallen into the hands of protesters, but it was later retaken by security forces, according to reports. Shops, gun stores, banks, hospitals and other venues have been ransacked and looted.

Eight officers have been killed and 317 wounded in the unrest, the Interior Ministry said late on Wednesday.

Kazakhstani President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has blamed the violence on “international terrorist gangs,” and appealed to the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) for help in restoring order in the country. The bloc said CSTO peacekeepers will be deployed in Kazakhstan “for a limited period of time in order to stabilize and normalize the situation.” But details of the operation have yet to be revealed.

The CSTO is a security treaty between six former Soviet states: Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan, It runs along similar lines to the US-led NATO bloc. Azerbaijan was an original member of the organization upon its foundation in 1994, but withdrew in 1999. Kyrgyzstan came close to asking for the deployment of peacekeepers 2010, during clashes between the country’s ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbek populations, but on that occasion the alliance did not agree to provide military assistance.

Protests across Kazakhstan, including Almaty, capital Nur-Sultan, Aktobe and other cities, started after the New Year. They were triggered by a two-fold hike in liquefied petroleum gas prices as the government said it couldn’t afford to subsidize the widely used cheap fuel anymore. The initially peaceful rallies quickly turned violent and got out of hand.

Law enforcement officers beheaded in Kazakhstan – media



Three officers have been beheaded during violent protests in the Kazakhstani city of Almaty, according to local media. The death toll among police and security forces has reportedly reached 13.

Reports of beheadings have come courtesy of Kazakhstan’s state-run TV channel Khabar 24, citing city authorities. Some 353 officers are said to have been injured.

It is not yet clear whether the rioters decapitated the victims while they were still alive or mutilated their bodies posthumously.

The channel cited officials as stating that the beheadings were “direct proof of the rioting groups’ terrorist and extremist nature.”

Russia’s RIA news agency has reached out to the Almaty authorities for comment, with officials confirming to the journalists that at least two bodies had been found headless.

Protests flared up in multiple regions in Kazakhstan in early January, with citizens initially decrying a steep hike in the cost of liquefied petroleum gas. In an apparent bid to deescalate the situation, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev imposed a ceiling on fuel prices for six months and disbanded his government. However, violent demonstrations continue unabated, with the former capital, Almaty, becoming the focus.

US denies role in Kazakhstan uprising


President Joe Biden’s spokeswoman has denied that the US government is behind the violent protests that have rocked Kazakhstan this week, claiming that unnamed “Russians” have falsely accused Washington of triggering the tumult.

The White House is monitoring the protests in Kazakhstan and supports “calls for calm, for protesters to express themselves peacefully and for authorities to exercise restraint,” Jen Psaki told reporters on Wednesday.

“There are some crazy Russian claims about the US being behind this, so let me just use this opportunity to convey that is absolutely false and clearly a part of the standard Russian disinformation playbook,” she said.

Psaki didn’t specify who in Russia has alleged a American role in the Kazakhstan unrest. Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said that it’s closely monitoring the protests and has called for a peaceful solution. The Kremlin has warned against foreign interference in the conflict and said Kazakhstan can handle its own problems. Neither of the statements mentioned the US.

There will be many economic crisis in the near future, what COVID 19 caused many countries will gradually become apparent. I don't understand why it is so hard for people to give analysis that reflects reality!

As you pointed out, economic crisis led to break down of law and order. It can happen to any country as I gave an example with Nigeria.
But instead of the President to resolve the crisis, he is blaming outside force.
which is not surprising because the Eastern bloc always blame the West for their problems instead of getting to the root of it and fixing it

There is no eastern block anymore just conmen deceiving themselves and their people to retain power by any means.

White House denied involvement in this colour revolution. But when you look at RAND’s recommendations for the US government to pressure RUSSIA, you can see that the US has executed measures 1to 4 against RUSSIA, and they are now at Measure 5.

See attached photo.

The 350 pages long report recommended certain steps to be taken by the U.S. to contain Russia.

“The CIA offshoot National Endowment for Democracy is financing some 20 'civil society' regime change programs in Kazakhstan with about $50,000 per annum each. The involved organizations currently seem to be mostly quiet but are a sure sign that the U.S. is playing a role behind the scenes. On December 16 details of upcoming demonstrations were announced by the U.S. embassy in Kazakhstan.”
