but so far the kick is people have fully tested only one right the right to kill. it's not that the residents of wash didn't see the writing on the wall tensions between craig is and is that communities have been simmering for decades when joseph stalin helped draw up the region's administrative borders patches of his that land ended up cutting through kircus territory with the help of those who nobody took it seriously 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 st just to let moscow be the main result of the problem. for

decades the two communities lee side by side attending the weddings of their children and going to the same mosques. both the current guinness and those bags a sunni muslims yet in this city religious unit couldn't outweigh the hellish brutality. in fact it was right before friday prayers in a spiritual time for a muslim that the slaughter began. the viciousness of clashes was beyond description but to be even more shocking was the reaction of the. first three days the caretaker government of kyrgyzstan was taking care of everything but its own subjects being burnt alive.

this. speed of this crisis was. so. brutal. neither law enforcement nor they army intervened when the clashes began to spread hours later i doubt weaponry and equipment are in the hands of cricket gangs. but it's on this issue when you talk about the armed forces were interest being on hopefully in the full to actually cure and also cleansing men in uniforms were shooting the strong bulls with gasoline in people's houses you know one of the citizens would run out there would shoot them. wasn't the first time that the courteous authorities to dido washing down and people being killed. two months prior to the massacre almost ninety people lost their lives on

the government's offices putting it down to defeat you. 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 says he joined the rally because he had had enough even though opposition parties paid a small fee and provided for each and split station for the protestors. not all but people have had enough it's a family clan marxian but we heard that maksim by kiev said i have a shepherd that's his 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 who sacrifice their lives for the future of back country. loose people who shed their blood for they have the noose of careless nation and for the fast the routine. before the bishkek rides could be stun had never been 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. 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. 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 it was because live all had a suicide. to fight us. neighbors for centuries in just a matter of days the congress and those backs turned into each other's worse than a miss they didn't just kill they did it in the ad least of waste. their trousers were taken off each one of them had a stick in his backside they're not humans they're animals. muslims believe those killed during friday prayers will go straight to haven't it offers little solace to these 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 separated keurig is an x. we're all muslims. 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. we won't give up our positions. yet for all their self-defense rhetoric these years back really jurors are also guilty of murder on the second day of riots they killed the chief of the local police precinct and he's called all of. the family of one

of the victims is still looking for his had to be buried together with his decapitated body. five men arrived in a car my head was smashed. 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 identify bodies to ascertain the death toll this

created. a hatred between communities. go over to my nephew spirit at the cemetery. now every grain was being dug up. on new day the cantrell stone p.s. . for those unfamiliar with central asia differentiating between the caregivers and those backs is tricky the most vivid visual distinction is in may of had the gear felt alone 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 writing the ethnicity of the us residents right on their doors to those barracks it meant black marks.

but i walk over there are people who are walking or running with paint marking their faces writers then use these marxist targets now the caribbees has a stamp touched well that was because these are destroyed. it took this man more than a decade to build his house only to see torched of where night. that's really crowed it gave here and there were up to twenty people aged from fifteen to thirty five they said only carriages people should be leaving kyrgyzstan. 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 beating her. mania him dugald i was four i stripped there were no clothes on me i'm pregnant but i was beaten up four men have taken me by the hand and threw me on the car. i fell there in my stomach

my child sometimes is moving sometimes. his silent. loss. it wasn't always this way born and raised but a nor and told plan have known each other since the call. back and occurred the two remember their home cd as an example of interest make toller runs with a look this is you and this is me years have passed their 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 clearly she can take your sins upon herself to stand before. that's how close we are. their friendship has already been tested back

after the clashes once before twenty years ago or so it's brightest after the riots over distribution of land almost call strolled poncho life. please do anything. in the boss and we saw a crowd of ahead of us that. one didn't see it. with a long dress all the others in the boss were killed. in the. horrifying experience didn't make her scared of her hometown something she bitterly regretted after wards this summer the two fronts 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 of. these girls. it was the same age as their daughters was fooling with your mother to do border when the bullets. in. juarez. the clashes in southern kyrgyzstan were well organized many of the mobsters made to presidents of osh 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 this 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 red flag.

the red sun is setting on. bringing the bloodiest weaken the city's millennial long history so close. but it's imposing mon tins and fertile valleys used to this part of poets and painters. now it's disfigures streets provide a matter for for the shattered lives of its residents. heritage from my father. this is batman is showing what's left of the house he's family owned for three generations. days after the fire and the ruins are still smoldering just like his anger at his career his neighbors.

i'm afraid to take off my jacket because i've got nothing. on 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 neighbors. they were also down on the roof. occurred these men who fought on the other side of this improvised barricade has a strikingly similar call and about the snipers on the roof and the stones and if he's only weapons and the viciousness of his adversaries. you shouldn't trust. their animals. is thicker gives 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. 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 she's not. left face to face with and prosody to truth looseness 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 forced the carnage from the sidelines. national channels gave little airtime to the events and this out of choying this commercial in stab. even if. i still knew where to run to. when it became clear that the they were just run they

able to control the situation those trapped in the inferno appealed to the world. that they would do like this. to sham until. i left couple of good news that we don't leave here the jets to survive here like animals when i grew up i will be killing everybody. but they help 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 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 but voting. 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 even 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 he should be protecting us instead they came here with marauders with murderers they killed our sons robbed our families. well i can be could guess 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. that. certainly will go. but we have nothing to know. everything. from the thirty's help us to rebuild. we will support them. absent in d.c. during the launch of 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 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 have seen so many hard braking encounters that even some election officials started questioning the need for volta toll corruption 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 out of the way many here hold that

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. 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 i'm not going to be used 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 them game. when those bad gangs retaliated no please stop them from killing they had a good. 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. months later the caregivers in those back started blaming each other for starting the riots. they may have mad like neighbors and they parted like enemies. well death or riches 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 not yet been abolished.
