WEll, More will be coming in the morning. I'm going to keep analyzing the news until the country gets it together. Take that as a threat, KG: stop with the killing, firing, and making people flee, because not only are you murdering people, destroying their homes, and running them out of their country, you are dooming the world (or at least those few people who never got rid of the feed) to my deep thoughts on revolution, violence, and the "ethnic question" in a context of crazy economic uncertainty and political upheaval.
This will be continue Monday morning. Unless Kyrgyzstan learns to behave itself first.
Please read, comment, and send notes telling me what you want me to write on and at what level of specificity. It's very easy for me to skip 5 steps in the middle that would make a story make sense, because my lived experience makes it harder to narrativize those parts. But I will do my best. So please care, and let's go on an interactive journey together!

Can you tell us more about the history of ethnic tensions between the Uzbek minority and the KZs?
Thanks T-Rex. This violence is so horrible.
I think I got some of that in the background post I just put up--but please let me know if there is something I could explain more clearly. This stuff feels incredibly complicated to me, and I have a pretty good handle on the region. I can't imagine how it sounds to someone who hasn't spent half her life studying this stuff! Which is why I can only get so irritated at CNN et al when they get it so wrong.
