a developed north and i cultural south. and kurdistan to overcome its political and ethnic standoff could there be a repetition of spontaneous riots involving a mass loss of life. and . tucked away in the mountains one hundred fifty kilometers from the capital bishkek is the village of actos at best only six hundred villagers are left here now. but when kurdistan was part of the soviet union people from all over the republic were eager to come here. with these or mind is the or was taken from them in the open pit heavy duty bella's trucks are brought in from there as you can see the roads are still here in soviet terms they produce three hundred tons a day their time all arcturus villagers work here but even that was not enough so

they brought workers from other places. the head of the ministration as showing the former pride of the village the factory producing uranium or. so you are from the open pit was brought here it was processed concerned to the laboratory for further tests that view. fell into decay in the first months after kurdistan secession from the soviet union extracting the hazardous or was no longer worthwhile as there were no buyers most of the villages inhabitants left it within a few years those who stayed behind had to learn to survive amidst high radiation levels and rampant unemployment. and this is the sort of british essentially crusader and the first seeks. a tiny patch of land one back from the mountains a few sheep and two cows that's all that the only russian family left in the

village has to survive on you know power sankoh and her husband worked at the factory until nine hundred ninety two. sargent's not only by the situation in which we see the same mess wherever we go this is very very sad. the factory was shut down in one thousand nine hundred two. many other factories inherited by the young state from the soviet union suffer the same fate. former soviet republic kurdistan won independence on august thirty first one thousand nine hundred one the country's population is five million cars account for seventy percent of the total banks mostly live in the country south make up eighteen percent while russians account for eight percent of the country's capital is bishkek. was its president from one thousand nine hundred to two thousand and five. in march two thousand and five he was deposed during the so-called tulip revolution from two thousand and five to two

thousand and ten coming back but he was head of state power following events on april seventh two thousand and ten. sharpshooters were firing from here they stood upright staking out their heads they were there and they're everywhere. by of a was among the thousands who took to the streets of bishkek on april seventh two thousand and ten. those events were later dubbed the second card is revolution on that day demonstrators only wanted the authorities to heed their grievances their response was gunfire ah. here's a shot at us and pushed us back i thought i could fall into the ground right here his leg was bleeding i covered him with my body if you need to kill somebody kill

me he is not guilty. the protesters demanded the resignation of the. it's leaders especially presidents come and jackie o. . the irony of the situation was that five years before my kids came to power in the wake of a similar uprising. i. look revolution was the name given to the events when the first card as president ask archaia was stripped of power in two thousand and five this flower is one of the country's symbols. there were no fountains here back then but the square was absolutely flooded with people at the time. about twenty five thousand i think. we joined the crowd as it headed for the white house. alexander even though for members of great enthusiasm but and built people gathered

in bishkek central square in two thousand and five. after a enforcements from the south came demonstrators broke into the presidential palace in bishkek. but when we realized that the house of cards was falling apart. that inspired us with the hope that the president would step down but everybody was in a state of euphoria. when president archaia left the country coming back by kiev came to power. the euphoria that characterized the chill of revolutionaries began evaporating only a year later and the new president chose to pursue the same policies that eventually toppled his predecessor. but if top government posts to relatives and friends. in two thousand five hundred even though it was a bucket of supporter in april two thousand and ten he joined street protesters once again. at that moment i already knew the situation and i said to myself

this regime will be toppled to either we get them all the room or they will simply be. torn to pieces. and i think it's unnatural at dillard for machias presidency. yet it's a typical ending for a government which came forward violently after the cools you know what the world in general all colored revolutions were performed by the same script or from the rose revolution in georgia the orange revolution in ukraine and the two of the revolution in kyrgyzstan the last one was virtually transformed into a cool. meanwhile cargo planes were landing on the runway of the russian airbase of cancer twenty kilometers from bishkek they were carrying russian reinforcements to the troubled republic the airborne battalion was sent to defend the base in case of danger.

but. our job is to protect installations which are situated in curious territory. notably the caldera. affiliated facilities as well as russian citizens living here. up here. as a matter of fact russian military personnel had no problems in connection with the april lights. of the f. eliezer within the town of cannes it was a special situation here. as far as i know there are no plans to close the base and indeed there's no one to see against it.

but us air base serves as the air mobility house aboard operations are up against but perhaps just as important to those that are assigned here because a very good list says with a lot of people this trailer is taken from the website of a us air base which is situated close to count strength it shares a runway with minus international airports u.s. service men claim they get along well with the locals. but. the fact is however that villagers nearby are not as friendly as the americans claim they are plagued by the constant roar of cargo planes taking off several times a day. there is an airport near here most of them please find some distance away and quite a few come here too and first lots of them flew around here but when people started complaining they turned it down a bit even so airplanes come and go around the clock. relations between

locals and the u.s. military went downhill after a tragic incidents between private sacré have failed and a few servicemen truck driver. alexander even north was shot and killed by the private. on that day his colleagues came to me and said alexander was shot dead by an american soldier a lot shot that's how come we don't know. it it's still unclear why the private behave the way he did according to how field he fired in self-defense because he claims you know attacked him with a knife however several pieces of evidence do not cooperate the theory. it's nonsense given that alexander was one hundred eighty centimeters tall and had filled one hundred sixty four and base metal chair had a bullet hole in the back we were told that the bullets went from top to bottom which simply proves that alexander was setting deal. fishcake appeared to have

heated public demands that the u.s. base be closed but mannus is a crucial strategic hub for supplying coalition troops in afghanistan. the issue of the american presence became a bare faced bargaining chip in talks between the baccy of government and the us state department as such u.s. cargo planes continue to take off from curtis territory. those troops should have been doing to justice and they contest elections we the young people of the cookies republic have been under the yoke of corrupt regimes for years we have fed up with the continuing cycle of deceit we have taken part in the latest revolution to topple a criminal regime and pay for it in our blood. in two thousand and ten rallies in central bishkek became just as routine as the changing of the guards kurdistan's political life out of strength following the second revolution it took scores of

political parties only a few months to emerge on the political scene in order to contest parliamentary seats. the prospect of new elections inspired both hope and i see it was obvious to many that those who lost might stir up the people to take to the streets again that would mean another revolution and a new wave of violence. to .

from an open pit sammul hundred meters deep. this giant caterpillar can carry one hundred seventy jones. we now have thirteen. medium sized dump trucks i'm thirteen was. there you can see some of the big ones there behind me because. thousands of tons of rock will go through a long treatment process to yield several kilograms of the rich to or. it will then go to the most important place in the factory the smelting furnace there gold will be extracted from the or. because the residue is dried and rio agents are added to it. and then it goes into this autumn where the temperature is one thousand five hundred degrees celsius the city and the gold is melted into

a half to three hours. every two days. today will produce four bars weighing about one thousand five hundred ounces all together through. the computer pitch belongs to a canadian firm for that reason the production process follows western standards every single piece of equipment and even the workers' clothes have been imported from canada. the staff enjoys high safety standards and is well paid many others would like to be employed here the enterprise is one of the largest sources of taxes for the country's national budget the factories managers have no interest in revolutions and elections taking down and. they are confident that they will be able to come to terms with any regime. we have cooperation is coming. people. working. people to. contribute. budgets. go production accounts for forty percent of the country's

industry but kurdistan is still largely island grammarian country nearly half of its population is employed and i can culture industry at best accounts for sixteen percent of the country. in the first six years of independence the gross domestic products dropped by half the country's external debt is around four billion dollars money sent by migrants working abroad is one of the main sources of revenue. like the comptroller cory this tiny enterprise lives of foreign investment but of a different kind in the past tourists were only too willing to buy locally produced carpets scarves and felt caps the items made by the small factory are quite costly because they are handmade so. we pressed felt three times by found to make it hard enough. we use dyed felt to make headgear.

is hundred made because we want to make sure that it exists where in time. before the april revolution across men had pinned their hopes on an influx of foreigners in the hope of amassing a handsome profit but the uprising did a lot of harm to their business tourists stayed away from the troubled republic. just rankly this year selling all goods made of felt was a very tough job. been able to stephens under eight we have stood our customers from switzerland. is nearly every hour they receive calls for not embassy telling them to stay at home but i knew what i did. in october people expected a repetition of the disturbances that have taken place in april in the run up to elections the streets of major cities and small villages alike were plastered with political propaganda posters. back in the summer about

a hundred political parties fight for seats in parliament but in the end only thirty parties were allowed to take part in the elections before the polls got underway they had been seen as a crucial event with far reaching ramifications for the nation they were to pave the way for a constitutional reform marking the transition from a presidential republic to a parliamentary republic. we will work in a serious and responsible spirit. to make sure that the parliamentary elections do take place and are held in a peaceful atmosphere in conformity with the election. contrary to expectations the election passed off in a cam atmosphere but when the votes were counted it became obvious that the pendulum of curtis politics had swayed again. the election to be won by the other party consisting of supporters of ex-president baqir who was deposed in april.

the leaders should stick their political ambitions up you know what and get down to economic matters and why because we have a deficit of nearly fifty percent of the total budget people all across the soviet union used to say that kyrgyzstan. received. what they describe their people as democratically minded really. ellie mundo unbuyable was one of those who helped bring about the april revolution she attended rallies outside the government building for three days in a row the protesters say they will not allow a counter revolution to happen that's how the people who are opposed by kiev have dubbed the electoral victory of the as a short party our mouths were stolen my the other showed party those were unfair elections. this is the courteous version of a question polo the carcass of

a gold is the ball in this traditional game them of both teams to kick the ghost carcass into the goal him and back captain of the local team is a promising player but in april he took part in a far more fascinating competition involving a mass of people at the time he and friends went to bishkek to topple president barchi of women back maintains the card is politics and his favorite game have a lot in common. but. this game is like politics you two teams chase a goat it's almost like chasing power induced catch it's the political technique of the game to. local politics is based on a tense standoff between intel still regions in the country's north and impoverished agrarian regions in the south they represent two teams trying to seize power from each other. first cargoes presidents as car kind of comes from the north he was toppled by the south coming back but. right now it is so missouri a close knit community they help one another as best they can. fellow

soldiers to keep posts in and sac locals living in this north. does really cool seek. help each other. before bucky have came to power glen had served in the local police for a long time he was born in bishkek when blackie of became president and was replaced with someone from the south now makes a living as a postman. this time he is leaving bishkek for the place he dislikes most of all the country southern capital of all which. burns out neighborhoods and looted shops serve as a reminder of

a vicious conflict the ethnic standoff between curtis and whose backs. the border between kurdistan and his back stan was drawn in soviet times it didn't matter that a dense population was part of the curtis republic after all it was part of a single country the soviet union however interethnic violence erupted following the collapse of the u.s.s.r. one of the bloodiest confrontations began in the early hours of june eleventh two thousand and ten and lasted for nearly five days. the city of almost instantly fell into two camps people wrote their identities on the walls of their houses to indicate to the tenants was. there were signs on some of them but help never arrived the city's administration was powerless throughout

the riots it was back neighborhoods were ruined. if it was in your house my daughter doesn't and i had not even had the opportunity to make ourselves at home there when it was going down we were left out in the cold. nobody knows how many people died in the june confrontation official figures put the death toll at more than three hundred and speak of nearly a thousand injured however locals are sure the figures are several times higher i mean you can bet you have been never separated keurig is an backs we're all muslims just my own being great don't they have parents mothers. onto the ones. this is how the. second attempt to build a house back in may he took pride in showing off his two story home stead to neighbors it had taken him three years to build it in the wake of the june chaos

only the foundations for maint but how the ball is in no mood for despair he receives breaks from charities little by little construction work goes on. if we abandon our homes and go somewhere where will our homes be and what's the point of going anywhere this is our land our ancestors lived here no we aren't going anywhere we are going to build homes and live here. the house is unlikely to be completed any time soon for now refugees live in tents camps. there is no running water it has to be taken from a well cooking has to be done inside the tent the only way to warm a home is with a fire or electric stove there are several such places and a small memorial wall stands in the center of each one where pictures of the dead are posted for not playing you this man his name is john said he served as a maison in a mosque when all that happened i had rumors saying the mosque had been set on fire

when i came there i saw that he was that he had been trying to defend the mosque. this is the sixteenth century mosque which is the most remarkable site in orsha so far it's the only symbol of possible reconciliation in this divided country home locals encourages coming from the north pray together here they are joined by those blacks who share the same faith. that's. the head of administration of the dying village of actors could have moved to the capital a long time ago his relatives live there and bishkek both a higher standard of living yet he stays in his native village but not solely because of patriotism evil is that actors will once again become as prosperous as

it was in soviet times and many in kurdistan look to their country's future with optimism. you know somebody will get down to work here sooner or later and it will go on anon life will take its course and the village will be restored.
