Kyrgyzstan Update



Kyrgyzstan government is in shuffle mode. It seems that with the new government clan biased is still alive and well. New government officials are firing former employees and hiring clan/family members take their positions. Not that I blame them. Jobs are non-existent and government jobs pay well. When you are in survival situations are you going to provide for your family or someone else? The best way to get rid of corruption is to leave the old communist ways behind and create an atmosphere where all people can have an opportunity to make some a living to support your family.

Feliks Kulov
Feliks Kulov, former political prisoner was release the day the protest turned revolution. He running for President hoping to unseat intern President Kurmanbek Bakiyev. The rumors running through Bishkek is that Kulov has a relationship with Jesus. If this is the case I pray that he gets the vote come June. At the moment he is mending ties with former president supporters and waiting for all corruption charges to be dropped.



Word has it that Radical Islamic group known as Hiz has been working tirerlessly underground to bring about a Islamic mullah into power to act as caliph over Kyrgyzstan. This group boast to be three thousand strong and is hoping that the infighting brings about another peoples revolution where Islamic Radicals may have a hand in developing a government driven by hardcore Islamic principles.

That is the news/gossip from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. If you would like to read more about The Kyrgyzstan Revolution check out this link (click here) it is very informative about the goings on in all central asians countries.

I will leave you on a lighter note. A cartoon from my father.
