signifies product of all the people living in kyrgyzstan. for the first two decades biggest towns flash as served as a banner of democracy. every leader every government that pulled this country promised freedom and a better life. but so far they could just be fully tested only one right the right to kill. it's not the residents of washington didn't see the writing on the wall tensions between craig is and his best communities have been simmering for decades when joseph stalin held draw of the region's administrative borders patches of was that land and it up cutting through congress territory at the hip will see nobody took it seriously 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 lead 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 unit couldn't outweigh the hellish protests. in fact it was right before friday prayers in a spiritual time for any muslim that the slaughter began.

well the viciousness of clashes was beyond description but truth even more shocking was the reaction of the courageous authorities for three days the caretaker government of kyrgyzstan was taking care of everything its own subjects being burnt alive. this. speak of this crisis was. so. brutal. the. noise the law enforcement know they army intervened when the clashes began to spread hours later i doubt weaponry and equipment are in the hands of cricket gangs. but also in this issue when you talk about the armed forces were interest being on hopefully do actually cure and also cleansing men in uniforms were shooting of strong bottles with gasoline in people's

houses you know one of the citizens would run they would shoot them. when it's going to. it wasn't the first time that the critics out there were just two dido washing down on people being killed. two months prior to the altar massacre of almost ninety people lost their lives in front of the government offices. to defeat is. wasn't even thirty one he was killed during the april uprising in bishkek an electrician he worked long hours to support his family. his uncle says he joined the rally because he had had enough even though opposition parties paid a small fee and provided to preach and spread station for the protesters. model doesn't. people have had enough and it's

a family. we heard that maksim by kiev said i have a shepherd that says father and five million sheep magine 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 authority still 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 christiane 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. we didn't have anything to protect ourselves with so we had to write everywhere but it didn't help at all places where it was blacks live all had a swiss. to fight us. neighbors for centuries in just a matter of days the congress and those backs turned into each others worse than a miss they didn't just kill they did it in the ad least of waste. their trousers were taken off one of them had a stick in his backside. they're not human they're animals.

muslims believe those killed during friday prayers will go straight to have and it offers little solace to this family. in the year old bob or mohammad a was returning from a mosque when a courageous 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 separated keurig is an x. 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 standards to breast fortress we won't give up our positions. yet for all their self-defense rhetoric these years back religious are also guilty of murder and the second day of riots they killed the chief of the local police precinct and his colleagues all of whom were ethnic. the family of one of the victims is still looking for his had to be buried together with his decapitated body. invited my brother in negotiations five men arrived in a car my head was smashed we buried him. during the first day the provisional government didn't react with doing nothing and that's why the violence was growing.

well 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 ethnic hatred between the already seething communities. my nephew spirit at the cemetery. now every grid is being dug up. for those unfamiliar with central asia differentiating between the caregivers in those bags is tricky the most vivid visual distinction is in may of how the gear felt ellen gaited who is for the current gaze 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 city of osh residence right on their doors to those barracks it meant black marks. mother welcome there are people who are walking around with paint marking their faces writers then use these marxist targets the caribbees has a stamp touched. his or destroyed. it took this man more than a decade to build his house only to see torched overnight. progress for the curlicue here and there were up to twenty people aged from fifteen to thirty five they said only carriages 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 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 in my stomach my child sometimes is moving sometimes he's silent. it wasn't always this way born and raised but annoyed and chilled plan have known each other since elementary school. and is back in the car get the two remember their home cd as an example of interest next toller 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 and you are like sisters no where even closer in this line 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. to their friendship has already been tested back in the clashes once before twenty years ago or so its brightest after the riots over distribution of land it's almost called strolled poncho alongside. the still living. in the boss and we saw a crowd of ahead of us that. one didn't see it. with dress all the others in the boss were killed.

you mean the. buying experience didn't make her scared their hometown something she bitterly regretted off towards this summer the two brands send their children to holidays at the time of our visit still couldn't figure out to get them back. and they had the reasons to be fearful. these girl was the same age as their daughters she was fleeing with your mother to do's back border when the bullets. in. the clashes in southern kyrgyzstan were well organized many of the mobsters weren't made to presidents of wash 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 its will until it is bloodbath had all the trappings of an attempted coup to top one of the so-called color revolutions frequent in former soviet states that added yet another blot stain to the rad flag . culture is that so much about the experience to be winterization

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 a notch bringing the bloodiest week and the city's millenia long history to a close. but it's imposing mountains and fertile valleys do you see it's part of poets and painters. now it's two years streets provide a matter for for the shattered lives of its residents. the heritage dishes 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 in the ruins are still smoldering just like his anger at his crib 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 has killed several of his neighbors. said he was behind this with. they were also downstairs and on the roof. occurred these men 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. 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 our 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 they 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 prosody. 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 watched the carnage from the sidelines. national channels gave little airtime to the events and this out showing these commercial in stab. even if.

we were 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. when i grew up killing everybody. but they held never came and started two weeks later the interim leadership offered the homeless and the grieving a choice a parliamentary or a presidential republic. it was never secret that the main goal of the june

referendum was to legitimize 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 pressure in the. country during the revolution. some of. his relatives among the most loyal supporters of the interim government with a week prior to the referendum they devoted the time complaining for the new constitution . i think this referendum will change the 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 in the capital bishkek in the south of the country that met with anger. death which is a paying these 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 her friend and how will it help us. if. the mood is even more hopeless in those back neighborhoods this family just learned that their son was killed soon after the interim government reported that they have 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 should government be 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. i believe that it certainly will go. but we have nothing to know. everything. from the thirty's help us to rebuilt. we will support them. absent in d.c. during 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.

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. first chance to go back to their neighborhoods to many the scenes were too much to bear. just look at everything is destroyed. but they 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 vote a toll correction committee official or as a member of the 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 smoot there is even a small humanitarian aid. in the referendum on to the way many here hold the authorities will finally get down to what really matters the caregivers in those backs still live on different sides of the barricades paying for cruelty with mercy and vice versa if. 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 they could use family back then not to harm those back neighbor i'm not going to say views backs should go away they took everything from us. i have nothing against my neighbor he's a good person but the others must believe that any game. when those bad gangs retaliated no please stop them from killing they had

a good. group. of. dealing with grief and rage at 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. months later they could visit those back started blaming each other for starting the riots. may have mad like neighbors and they parted like enemies. well death or reaches have long proclaimed the return of peace reconciliation is no wearing side. both communities are up on guns both sending their children the way the right to kill has been abolished.
