BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) — Kyrgyzstan's Health Ministry says 40 people have died and more than 400 have been wounded in clashes with police trying to quell an anti-government uprising.
The main opposition leader in the former Soviet Central Asian nation said earlier Wednesday on national television that 100 protesters have been killed.
The unrest swept across several cities in this mountainous former Soviet nation, which houses a U.S. military base that is a key supply center in the fight against the Taliban in nearby Afghanistan.

We can’t be too sure about this one.
We paid Russia a huge amount for the base in Kyrgyzstan.
Russia does not want “color revolutions”.
CPS is a mass protest whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. The flood of demands was calculated to break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.
Should we like either side??
Fascist government... and who knows anything about the opposition?
Russia sure has been busy trying to change the governments of Ukraine and Georgia, why not this country too?
Yeah they just ousted the President

So is that what’s happening in Kyrg? Very interesting. I can see how a strong middle class would kill such an attempt in this country. Hence the animosity the left has for the Bourgeois suburbanites, and also their ongoing policies which would destroy the middle class.
One of the opposition leaders just accused US for bloodshead and support of “tyranic” regime.

So, these guys ARE pro-Russian...
But so was the former regime (to an extent). I think Moscow called in its chips on him this time.
I think its all about Manas airbase.
Russians want it closed, but also want US to use Russian services directly not with middleman.
