Events in Kazakhstan have been declared an attempted coup d'état, which failed. In the course of the coup attempt, the authorities almost completely lost control over Almaty, which could lead to the loss of control over Kazakhstan.  2. Since the situation is rapidly stabilizing, the withdrawal of the CSTO troops, which helped stabilize the situation, may begin on January 13th. The withdrawal of troops will take 10 days. The acute phase of CTO in Kazakhstan has been completed. 3. New Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Alikhan Smailov has been appointed. He was acting. Prime Minister of Kazakhstan since January 5, when the old government was dismissed. 4. Kazakhstan will strengthen the National Guard quantitatively and qualitatively in order to have more opportunities to counter threats to national security. Tokayev noted that during the events the State Guard and the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan, as well as the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, showed themselves well. Additional measures will be taken to strengthen the army of Kazakhstan and the border service. 5. Tokayev accused the KNB of Kazakhstan of not being able or unwilling to identify the threat that professionals were secretly preparing inside Kazakhstan. In a number of cities in the country, the leaders of the KNB actually handed over buildings, weapons and documents to the conspirators. The state security system of Kazakhstan will undergo a structural reorganization. The main culprits will go to court. 6. Tokayev directly accused Nazarbayev's entourage of forming a group of super-rich around Elbasy, even by international standards. Tokayev believes that they should "pay tribute to the people of Kazakhstan." 7. A number of banks and funds will be tested, and the money will go to the announced socio-economic reforms. It is recognized that financial and oligarchic groups have become the beneficiaries of Kazakhstan's economic growth. 8. Events in Kazakhstan, according to Tokayev, were the result of socio-economic problems and the failed activities of some state bodies. These bodies broke away from the reality and needs of citizens and caused an increase in property stratification. 9. Tokayev canceled the recycling fee in the country, which was also one of the economic demands of the protesters. A 5-year moratorium has been announced on raising the salaries of civil servants. 10. In addition, Tokayev directly accused the heads of state bodies that they do not know how, and sometimes they are simply afraid to communicate with the Kazakh people. 11. The opening of branches of leading technical universities of Russia in Kazakhstan was announced. 12. The column "against all" will be returned to the ballot papers. 13. Instructed to restore order on the border with China, where "a mess is going on." The discrepancies between the customs statistics of Kazakhstan and China amount to billions of dollars. Some of the cars are simply not inspected. De facto we have. The KNB and the oligarchs from Nazarbayev's entourage were indirectly accused of the coup. Nazarbayev was indirectly accused of conniving at his entourage, who plundered the country and profited from it, as long as property stratification grew and socio-economic problems worsened, which the conspirators took advantage of to carry out an attempted coup d'etat, which the KNB connived. As a result, the coup failed, the guilty will be punished, the KNB will be purged and restructured, the oligarchs will be forced to pay "compensation", the CSTO troops will soon be withdrawn, and the country will face socio-economic reforms. A substantial part of the protesters' economic demands will be met. The question of the future of Nazarbayev has so far been left in limbo. Posted by: badanov 2022-01-12 |
