Did I miss a thread here where the situation in Kirgizia is discussed?

Any ideas on who started that "revolution"?

So far people in Frunze... er, Bishkek gather in crowds asking: "So, we have overthrown the old president. Now tell us please what was it for?..."

When someone asks me on the phone "What are you doing now?" - I always answer "I am talking to you on the phone".

Were there any other threads that I missed?...

Frankly there has been too little about it in the news to be able to discuss it.

The only thing I have gathered from the brief bits I saw was that there are allegations of election fraud and that the "president" has fled the country due to an uprising of the populace in the capital.

I don't spend much time watching the news so there may be more out there.

Another small ex-soviet asian country. Since the collapse they haven't advanced a bit. The people are lazy but fed up. The goverment is changed, but the new ones are same kind of corrupt crooks. The same happens again in 10 years.

Who cares?

If it weren't for 30 years of Stalinist corruption, murder and meglomania, Kyrgyzstan would have been the Switzerland of central asia.

By any chance are the people demonstrating in the street asking for the return of rulers from Moscow?

Just curious.

I just hope they don't start running over each other with tanks and attacking their own TV stations like the Lituanians did in '91.
