The provisional Kyrgyz government has lost control of large #xareas in the Textile fabricssouthern part of the country because of its failure to quell attacks that have killed at least several hundred ethnic Uzbeks, and possibly many more. As many as 400,NFL Jerseys,000 have fled their homes. Barricading themselves in their cities and neighborhoods, Uzbeks have essentially set up autonomous zones and are refusing to recognize the authorities in the capital.
Despite the threat of a breakup of the country, the government seems unable to respond in any meaningful way. The provision of humanitarian aid has been slow. On Friday, the interim president flew to the affected regions for the first time since the violence began on the night of June 10. She has not responded to numerous credible reports that elements of the military carried out horrific assaults on ethnic Uzbeks. The reports indicate that the government, which took office in April after rioting ousted the Kyrgyz president, does not have the full allegiance of the military.
“They fear the generals,” a prominent Kyrgyz human rights lawyer, Nurbek Toktakunov, Textile fabrics said Thursday. “Sooner or later, these issues are going to have to be tackled.”
This reluctance is especially striking because the government has charged that the deposed president, Kurmanbek S. Bakiyev, incited the violence as a way to return to office. But it has yet to explain how Mr. Bakiyev exercised that power or whether senior military officers remain loyal to him, allowing him to use troops to incite ethnic warfare.
American officials are keeping a close eye on the conflict, not least because the United States has an important military base on the outskirts of the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek, that supplies the expanding NATO mission in Afghanistan. An American official in Washington confirmed that the Kyrgyz government was having “trouble exercising command over the security forces.”
Already, the new government has given mixed signals about whether it will renew the lease on the American base ― and its weakness has added fresh uncertainty over a strategic competition between the United States and Russia. Russia also has military facilities in Kyrgyzstan and in recent years has vied with #xthe Textile fabrics United States to win the favor of the Kyrgyz.
