Riots in Kyrgyztan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, While Kazakhstan is being courted by NATO to encircle Russia. China meanwhile is being Demonized by the west and India is being courted. These are all SCO members and allies. The West is trying to devide us again because they Know Eurasia is Rising. Who is next, South Americas?

Having lived in Bishkek for three years, I am reminded of the "Tulip Revolution." However, the results of the "Tulip Revolution" was to trade a very corrupt leader in Askar Akayev, for an oppressor in Bakiev. There are no "real" police in that city, as they are thugs who buy their uniforms. It is a tragedy, as fuel and food prices rose and the quality of life for citizens detteriorated. I remember when I left after the summer of 2008, electricty was only in place for hours at a time...this is a country with hydro-electrical capabilities. I taught at the American University of Central Asia for three years. This is located next to the parliment building. I am very worried about friends, and former students....very lovely people. This is so difficult to see. My thoughts are with those who I love so much in the wonderful little country.

This has nothing to do with the West, the problems are internal and have been prevaling since the fall of the Soviet Union. Kyrgyzstan needs the help of Russia or any other strong government. Who cares about the West, the richer get rich while the people are struggling to survive. Sad and heartbreaking to see the chaos in my hometown.

I am English and my wife is Kyrgyz, I have just returned from Kyrgyzstan at the weekend. Kyrgyzstan is a lovely country with people who are friendly and welcoming but even they can only take so much. I worry for my friends and family there. I find it frustrating to hear the rhetoric of Moscow's or Washington's involvement to score points, the Kyrgyz regime was corrupt and it was only time before there was an uprising. Russia and America are working together like never before I can only feel hope and optimism for the future. Obtaining any official documents in the Kyrgyzstan requires paying one person who pays another and so on.... this has nothing to do with Moscow or Washington, only the corrupt government. The cost of electricity has doubled while work has got more difficult to find, the infrastructure of the country has been sadly neglected with no investment in the country or people, I only hope that any new government will see that the more you invest, the more the country can grow. This is a lovely country with lovely people and I only hope that peace is restored to the Kyrgyz people.
