15,000 rally for reform in Kyrgyzstan
2006-05-28
Around 15,000 people demanding constitutional reform to trim the powers of Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev and a crackdown on crime protested Saturday in this Central Asian state. "Bakiyev Open Your Eyes!" and "No To Corruption! No To Crime!" were among the slogans chanted by the protesters, who gathered in central Bishkek near the presidential and government headquarters in the second largest opposition demonstration in recent weeks.

#2  Fred? Is this a simple or complex protest?

Since FP just said our base in Kyrgyzstan was one of the most important US bases.... could outside influences be behind the protests? Since the base cost was just raised to $23x millions could that money be behind the corruption charges?

Just curious.
