stalin helped draw of the region's administrative borders patches of it was that land ended up cutting through curtis territory from here because you're nobody took it seriously if the voters were appointed by reference to the terrain nobody could ever even think that these borders would become the frontiers between the independent states it was just dumb to put a stumbling block into the interethnic relations just to let moscow be the main result of the problems. for decades the two communities lead side by side attending the weddings of their children and going to the same mosques. both the current games and those bags a sunni muslims yet in this city religious unity it couldn't outweigh the hellish brutality. in fact it was right before friday prayers. spiritual time for

a muslim that the slaughter began. the viciousness of clashes was beyond description but even more shocking was the reaction of the curtis authorities for three days the caretaker government of kyrgyzstan was taking care of everything bob its own subjects being burnt alive. this. speak of this crisis was. so. brutal. no i the law enforcement know they army intervened when the clashes began to spread hours later i doubt weaponry and equipment in the hands of cricket gangs. one of them is true you talk about the

armed forces were interest being on hopefully in the four to actually cure an aspirin saying men in uniforms were shooting a strong bulls with guns so in people's houses you know one of the citizens would run out they would shoot them. with when this is going to. wasn't the first time that the critics out there were just two dido washing down people being killed. two months prior to the massacre of almost ninety people lost their lives in front of the government offices putting him down to defeat his vision. wasn't even thirty when he was killed during the april uprising in bishkek an electrician he worked long hours to support his family. his uncle sas he joy. the rally because he had had enough even though opposition

parties paid a small fee and provided to preach and spread station for the protestors. not all people have had enough it's a family. we heard that maksim by key of said i have a shepherd that's his father and five million sheep can you imagine that. it was those deaths ultimately allowed the interim government to seize power when the victims of the bishkek massacre were laid to rest the new authorities thought to present them as national heroes to sacrifice their lives for the future of back country. loose people who shed their blood for they had the noose of careless nation and for the fast the routine. before the bishkek rides previous john had never buried so many people at once and there at the cemetery the leaders pledged it wouldn't happen again. but just two months later the

country south was drowning in. ass so as save our souls this plea was seen on every house on every street in those back neighborhoods of southern kyrgyzstan a cry for mercy. more violence. to protect ourselves with so we had to write everywhere but it didn't help at all places were. neighbors for centuries in just a matter of days the congress and those backs turned into each others worse than a mess they didn't just kill. they did it in the ad least of waste standing there

trousers were taken off each one of them has a stick and he's backside they're not humans they're animals. muslims believe those killed during friday prayers will go straight to haven't but it offers little solace to the family. in the year old bob or mohammad a was returning from a mosque when a kurd is mob surrounded him. a russian citizen he came to kyrgyzstan to see his relatives. they still haven't found enough courage to tell his mother what happened i mean you need god then you have the we never. backs we're all muslims. in freight don't they have parents mothers. what do they want. men in his village blocked all roads in and out of the settlement trucks from a nearby oil refinery were used for barricades there finery itself was booby

trapped to ward off looters. only one stronghold remained standing all of the buildings in the city were torched women were killed and raped we're standing still like breast fortress we won't give up our positions. yet for all their self-defense rhetoric pieces back religious are also guilty of murder in the second day of riots they killed the chief of a local police precinct and he's calling all of whom are ethnic kurds. the family of one of the victims is still looking for his had to be buried together with his decapitated body. invited my brothers in negotiations five men arrived in a calm my head was smashed we buried him. during the first day the perp.

original government didn't react with doing nothing and that's why the violence was growing. while the fischel death toll has climbed over three hundred many believe that the real figure may be several times as much according to local customs most of those bax try to bury their loved ones on the day of their death bypassing official registration but one day authorities began to examine unidentified bodies to ascertain the death toll this created yet another spark of the hatred between the already seething communities. my nephews appeared at the cemetery and now every grave was being dug up. for those unfamiliar with central asia differentiating between the caregivers and those backs is tricky the most vivid visual distinction is in may of how the gears

felt allen gated hoods for the car gates and flat skullcaps for those backs yet in this conflict the form of have gear or the shape of the ice was reason enough for execution. during the first day of clashes somebody started watching the. presidents ride on their doors to those bags it meant black marks. mother walked out of there were people who were walking or running with paint marking their faces writers then used these marks targets. phrases stamped touched . his or destroyed. it took this man more than a decade to build his house only to see torched overnight. progress here and there were up to twenty people aged. fifteen to thirty five they said all

we can reduce people should leave. his family now lives in the stables right across from the cattle. slipping on manure and his daughter in law is dreading that the worst is yet to come a six month pregnancy didn't stop the mob from getting her. mania it. was for i stripped there were no clothes on me i'm pregnant but i was beaten up for man have taken me by the hand and threw me on the car. i fell there on my stomach my child sometimes is moving sometimes he's silent. losses. it wasn't always this way born and raised in north but i'm nor and chill pon have known each other since elementary school. and as back and occurred the two

remember their home cd as an example of interest mixed toller runs with a look this is you and this is me years have passed the haircuts and husbands have changed but they have always been there for each other and you cynical girl like sisters no where even closer in this land there is a new sheen of a friend so good she can take your sins upon herself to stand before. that's how close we are. you know what their friendship has already been tested back acne clashes once before twenty years ago or so it's brightest after they cry it's over distribution of land it's almost called strolled poncho life. he still didn't go. in the boss and we saw a crowd of ahead of us their turf. one they'd manda her

see it. with a long dress all the others in the boss were killed till. the full. horror of buying experience didn't make her scared of her hometown something she bitterly regretted off towards this summer the two front send their children to austria holidays of the time of our visit still couldn't figure out how to get them bad. and they had the reasons to be fearful. these girl was the same age as their daughters she was fooling with your mother to do's back border when the bullets. of. the clashes in southern kyrgyzstan were well

organized many of the mobsters weren't made to presidents of vosh yet they had access to weaponry and they didn't just indiscriminately destroy everything in that way in fact the dimmer authors were very selective in their targets. for all it's all a tell it this bloodbath had all the trappings of an attempted coup to top one of the so-called color revolutions still frequent in former soviet states that added yet another blot stain to the red flag. culture is that so much about the taxpayers' money winterization a lot of people are furious way to get out of a good part of the world is experiencing a crippling. is this

a trend or simply freaky whether one. has been to the cutscene reaches the wilderness of the great outdoors or film. now wattie goes to central russia where the car industry is rapidly developing where history finds life and explains. where american citizens can find a new. welcome to the. russian close up. to. the rat sun is setting on our show bringing the bloodiest week and the city's millennial long history so close. but it's imposing moment ins and fertile the valleys do you see it's part of poets and painters. now it's disfigures streets

provide a matter for the shattered lives of its residents. the heritage this house from my father. this is that man is showing what's left of the house his family owned with three generations. days after the fire and the ruins are still smoldering just like his anger at his career his neighbors. through the dress i'm afraid to take off my jacket because i've got nothing you understand what it's like his house at the very end of on his back and clave so some of the most brutal fighting. he says snipers hiding in a nearby apartment block killed several of his neighbor's.

roof. who fought on the other side of this improvised barricade has a strikingly similar coned about the snipers on the roof and the stones and says he's only weapons and the viciousness of his adversaries. then you shouldn't trust . their animals it was. just this is too good stunt is thicker gives people who must have the power here. some of the most serious had firearms the most common weapons in this conflict were sticks and knives this may have helped curb the death toll but it also contributed to the overall savagery of the riots allowed to kill with bare hands people proved very creative in finding new forms of torture and mutilation. many of the male victims were sodomized the genitals horribly mutilated.

women had a better chance of survival that our zeal of any will to leave. us no she's in a great condition she couldn't and doesn't want to speak the seventeen year old girl was gang raped in front of her father. in a culture where chastity before marriage is a must she's unlikely to ever marry or have children. they hide everything in the chorus this is our mentality but i know that more than ten women from one in the same district were raped. among them a pregnant women as well as underage girls about twelve sixteen years old it. left face to face with an prosit done to truth listeners for more than a week the people of southern kyrgyzstan waited for their leaders to step in but

the authorities both on the regional and the state level just watched the carnage from the sidelines. national channels give little airtime to the events and be south showing these commercial in stab leave even if. i still knew where to run to. when it became clear that the authorities were unable to control the situation those trapped in the inferno appeal to the world. that they would do like peace with us. i live couple is a kid we don't leave here the jets just survive here like animals when i

grew up i will be killing everybody. but they help never came and stabbed two weeks later the interim leadership all for the homeless and the grieving a choice a parliamentary for a presidential republic. it was never secret that the main goal of the june referendum was diligent demise the self appointed interim leadership rather than carry out political reform impotent during the clashes it proved cunning enough to turn the tragedy into its main electoral. killed by government forces during the riots. of his now remember that his village as a national hero. shall bring about freedom and democracy. for this referendum. people country during the revolution by

voting. some of. his relatives a monk the most loyal supporters of the interim government but the week prior to the referendum they devoted the time complaining for the new constitution. and i think this referendum changed previously the constitution only works for one family we think this new constitution works for the people. while the promises of democracy and a better life have followed the many followers and the capital bishkek in the south of the country that met with anger. death which is a pain these care gives women seven dollars per day to help clean the ravaged streets but it was not enough to carry that electoral favor if it ended you know that we don't need this referendum we don't need it oh there's blood here people have died why should we have this referendum and how will it help us.

who does have been most hopeless in those back neighborhoods this family just learned that their son was killed soon after the interim government reported that they had got the situation in the city under control. i wouldn't advise anyone to vote if the government can't protect us why do we need to a government he should be protecting us and instead they came here with marauders with murderers they killed our sons robbed our families. well i can be cured communities these people haven't seen a single election official yet many still went to the polls hoping the authorities won't fail them again. so. we have nothing to know. everything.

from the thirty's help us to rebuild. we will support them. absent in d.c. during the bloodshed the interim president made a very public visit. to cast the ballot that will keep her in power until the end of two thousand and eleven. people today are voting for stability in kyrgyzstan for a legitimate power a lot has been said about the country being divided that it is on the brink of disaster but today at the referendum people want to prove that the country is united. after weeks of riots and homelessness the referendum gave some of the residents the first chance to go back to their neighborhoods to many the scenes were too much to bear.

just look at everything is destroyed. by the end of the day polling stations in those back and claves had seen so many hard breaking encounters that even some election officials started questioning the need for votes a tall action committee official or as a member of commission here but i think there is no place for a friend in now they should have thought about people first who were left in the streets without home and suit there is even a small humanitarian aid. in the referendum on to the way many here hold the authorities will finally get doll to what really matters the caregivers in those back still live on different sides of the barricades paying for cruelty with mercy and vice versa. this woman is current is the man as is back they believed on the same street for years so when the mob came to that area they

could this family back them not to harm those back neighbor i'm not going to lose your views becks should go away they took everything for months and i have nothing against my neighbor he's a good person but the others must believe that any game. when there was bad gangs retaliated no please stop them from killing they had a. group. of. dealing with grief and rage adieus backs the family to care of their old neighbor and they were handing him over to his back relatives no one could hold back the tears. moments later they could given those back started blaming each other for starting the riots. may have mad like neighbors and they parted like enemies.

well that the riches have long proclaimed the return of peace reconciliation is no way inside. both communities are filthy up on guns both sending their children the way the right to kill has not yet been abolished.
