Press review: Kazakhstan roots out Nazarbayev-built nepotism and oil may hit $90 a barrel
Tass Press Review ^ | January 18, 2022 | Kommersant, Izvestia

Kazakh ex-leader’s relatives exit key government and business positions following nationwide unrest

Nursultan Nazarbayev's relatives are exiting Kazakhstan’s public sector. Samat Abish, the nephew of the country's first president, was dismissed from the post of Deputy Head of the National Security Committee, and Nazarbayev's three sons-in-law left key posts in major government bodies and large energy companies. According to Kommersant, this large-scale purge indicates the dismantling of the previous power structure built under the first president of the country, but it is not ushering in reforms just yet.

"The purging of state structures, large companies and funds from the Nazarbayev elite and relatives of the Elbasy in the country is viewed favorably in general," the newspaper writes. The leader of the parliamentary faction of the Ak Zhol party Azat Peruashev considers the personnel purge to be a reaction to society's expectations. At the same time, he is convinced that further serious reforms are needed. "The coup attempt has been rebuffed. The fact that people went to what they thought were peaceful rallies in the first days is a sign that there are problems in society. These are the problems involving corruption, social disparity, and injustice. It is clear that there are no ideal states, and in any state, people have something to put forward. But in our case, it has gone beyond certain boundaries," the politician told Kommersant.

Sure am glad President Dufus killed the Keystone Pipeline and restricted on and off-shore drilling rights. Gees, Joe, are you that far gone that you couldn’t see the long run effects of such a stupid move. It doesn’t even make sense for environmentalists. The only sense it makes is that it was a payoff for campaign contributions to the person who has the only rail line between the North Dakota oil fields and the Alberta tar sands and the refineries in the Mississippi Delta...Warren Buffet.

They got away with plenty and the Banking System is lagging behind in removal of Oligarch influence from both East and West.

Short answer, Yes.

There was too many violent agitators, Foreign speaking violent agitators, well armed violent agitators, including Foreign Uyghur Muslims, and they were too well organized.

However, the insurrection seems to have failed but allowed Russia to remove corruption in Kazakhstan's post Soviet government.

Yep....the dismantling of the previous power structure...you can bet they left with their wealth secured in other countries. They've been stockpiling it for years...especially the family members in office.
