tensions between caregivers and those back communities have been simmering for decades when joseph stalin held draw of the region's administrative borders patches of his back land and up cutting through caracas territory with the help of those who nobody took it seriously as if the borders 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 problem. for decades the two communities leaf side by side attending the weddings of their children and going to the same mosques. both the conditions and those bags a sunni muslims yet in this city religious unity it couldn't outweigh the how its brutality.

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 was drowning in. s.o.s. save our souls this plea was seen on every house on every street in those back neighborhoods of southern kyrgyzstan a cry for mercy that led to even more violence and that's why we didn't have anything to protect ourselves with so we had to write everywhere but it didn't help at all places where. you know neighbors for centuries. in just

a matter of days they can guess and those backs turned into each other is 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 human they're animals. muslims believe those killed during friday prayers will go straight to haven't it offers little solace to the family. in the year old bob or mohammad a was returning from a mosque when a creek 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 maybe a new car then you have been to we never separated keurig is an backs we're all muslims. in freight don't they have parents mothers. 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 standards to breast fortress we won't give up our positions. yet for all their self defense rhetoric these years back willy jurors are also guilty of murder on the second day of riots they killed the chief of a local police precinct and he's called all of whom were ethnic or gays. the family of one of the victims is still looking for his had to be buried together with his decapitated body. invited my brother to negotiations on the phone. men arrived in the car my head was

smashed we buried him without it. during the first day the provisional government didn't react with doing nothing and that's why the violence was growing. fishel 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 backs 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 see being communities. my nephews appeared at the cemetery. now every grave was being dug up. for those unfamiliar the central asia differentiating between the kurds in those

back. the most vivid visual distinction is in may of had a gear felt allen gated hoods for the car gates and flat skullcaps for those backs yet in this conflict the form of had gear or the shape of the ice was reason enough for execution. during the first day of clashes somebody started watching the. residence right on the doors of those barracks 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. stamped touched. 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 from fifteen to thirty five they say it's only cure just people should leave. his family now lives in the stables right across from the cattle. slipping on manure and hate his daughter in law is dreading the worst is yet to come a six month pregnancy didn't stop the mob from getting her. mania in the girl i 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 no and told plan have known each other since elementary school. and is back in a car gets the two remember their home cd as an example of interest nick toler runs with a look this is you and this is me years have passed that haircuts and husbands have changed but they have always been there for each other than you cynical girl like sisters know where even closer in this land there's a new sheen of a friend so good she can take your sins upon herself to stand before. that's how close we are. to their friendship has already been tested back acne clashes once before twenty years ago or so it's brightest afaik rides over distribution of land it's almost called strolled poncho life. please do meeting go. in the bus and we saw

a crowd of ahead of us that. they demanded her see it and with a long dress all the others in the boss who were killed. in the full. horror of flying experience didn't make her scared of her hometown something she bitterly regretted off towards this summer the two france send their children to austria holidays at the time of our visit still couldn't figure out how to get them back. and they had the reasons to be fearful. these girl was the same age as their daughters she was flying with your mother to do's back border when the bullets. in.

the clashes in southern kyrgyzstan were well organized many of the mobsters were in one thousand presidents of vosh they had access to weaponry and they didn't just indiscriminately destroy everything in that way in fact the marauders were very selective in their targets. for all it's all until it is bloodbath had all the trappings of an attempted coup to top one of the so-called color revolution still frequent in former soviet states that added yet another blot stain to their rap career just black. culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money. it's interesting to me

a lot of people are furious with a good part of the world is experiencing a crippling feat is this a trend or simply freaking weather one. of . the rats sun is setting on our show bringing the bloodiest week and the city's millenia long history so close. but it's imposing mountains and fertile valleys used to inspire poets and painters. now it's disfigures streets provide

a matter for for the shattered lives of its residents. heritage business from my father. this is that man is showing what's left of the house his family owned for three generations. days after the fire and the ruins are still smoldering just like his anger at his neighbors. through the dress i'm afraid to take off my jacket because i've got nothing you understand what it's like he's 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. you shouldn't trust. their animals it was. just this is too good stunt is the kurdish people who must have their 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 are zeal of any will to leave. 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. them a pregnant women as well as underage girls about twelve sixteen years old it is not. left face to face with an prosecution to true for more than a week the people of southern kyrgyzstan the wait for their leaders to step in but

the authorities both on the regional and the state level just watch the carnage from the sidelines. national channels give little airtime to the events of this out showing these commercial in stab. even if. it is up. to new wood to run to. when it became clear that they could use that they were just were unable to control the situation those trapped in the inferno appeal to the world. police said they would do like peace with us. i live couple is it good news that we don't leave here the jets first survive here like. when i grew up i will be killing

everybody. but they help never came and started 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. his now remember that his village as a national hero. shall bring about freedom and democracy. for this referendum. people country during the revolution.

is relative them on the most loyal supporters of the interim government but the week prior to the referendum they devoted the time complaining for the new constitution. i think this referendum will change things 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.

if. the mood is been more hopeless in those back neighborhoods this family just learned that their son was killed soon after the interim government reported that it 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 we 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 the single election official yet many still went to the polls hoping the authorities won't fail them again. and get back to. what we have nothing to know. everything. from the thirty's help us to rebuilt. we will support them.

absent during the bloodshed the interim president made a very public visit. to cast a ballot that will keep her in power until the end of two thousand and eleven. the people today are voting for stability in kyrgyzstan for a legitimate power a lot is being 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 braking encounters that even some election officials started questioning the need for voter told. me see if it is slower as a member of commission here but i think there is no place for a friend they should have thought about people first who were left in the streets without home ensuite there is even a small humanitarian aid. in the referendum all to the way many here hold the death oranges 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 barack they believed on the same street for years so when the mob came to that area

because this family backed them not to harm those back a neighbor the number of views backs should go away they took everything for months and i have nothing against my neighbor he's a good person but the others must leave the game. when those bad gangs retaliated no please stop down from killing they had a good. group. of. thing with grief and rage of those backs the family to care of their old neighbor when they were handing him over to his back relatives no one could hold back the tears. moments later the caregivers in those back started blaming each other for starting the riots. may have meant like neighbors they parted like enemies.

while the authorities have long proclaimed the return of peace reconciliation is nowhere in sight. both communities are up on guns both sending their children the way the right to kill has been abolished.

forest fires sweep through central russia killing more than twenty join me later for more. emergency crews worked around the clock to recover thousands of barrels of highly explosive chemicals from a river before they reached russia. living in fear many germans did keeping some behind bars indefinitely despite the european court of human rights saying it's illegal. and on the business desk we'll be looking at the implications of a new insider trading in russia and lots more for you in about twenty minutes time .
