He first sought to mollify the crowds by dismissing the entire government early Wednesday. But by the end of the day he had changed tack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First, he described demonstrators as terrorists. Then he appealed to a Russian-led military alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, for help in crushing the uprising and the CSTO agreed to send an unspecified number of peacekeepers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHY ARE PEOPLE ANGRY?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of the five Central Asian republics that gained independence following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan is by far the largest and the wealthiest. It spans a territory the size of Western Europe and sits atop colossal reserves of oil, natural gas, uranium and precious metals.<\/p>\n<p>But while Kazakhstan\u2019s natural riches have helped it cultivate a solid middle class, as well as a substantial cohort of ultrarich tycoons, financial hardship is widespread. The average national monthly salary is just under $600. The banking system has fallen prey to deep crises precipitated by non-performing loans. As in much of the rest of the region, petty corruption is rampant.<\/p>\n<p>The rally that set off the latest crisis took place in the dusty western oil town of Zhanaozen. Resentments have long festered in the area over a sense that the region\u2019s energy riches haven\u2019t been fairly spread among the local population. In 2011, police shot dead at least 15 people in the city who were protesting in support of oil workers dismissed after a strike.<\/p>\n<p>When prices for the liquified petroleum gas most people in the area use to power their cars doubled overnight Saturday, patience snapped. Residents in nearby cities quickly joined in and within days large protests had spread to the rest of the country.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/640\/320\/AP22005353379742.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Riot police officers stand ready to stop demonstrators during a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.\u00a0\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/640\/320\/AP22005353379742.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Riot police officers stand ready to stop demonstrators during a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.\u00a0\"><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<p>       Riot police officers stand ready to stop demonstrators during a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.\u00a0       (AP Photo\/Vladimir Tretyakov)<\/p>\n<p><strong>KAZAKHSTAN UNREST LEAVES DOZENS DEAD, POLICE SAY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO IS LEADING THE PROTESTS?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The suppression of critical voices in Kazakhstan has long been the norm. Any figures aspiring to oppose the government have either been repressed, sidelined or co-opted. So although these demonstrations have been unusually large \u2014 some drawing more than 10,000 people, a large number for Kazakhstan \u2014 no protest movement leaders have emerged.<\/p>\n<p>For most of Kazakhstan\u2019s recent history power was held in the hands of former President Nursultan Nazarbayev. That changed in 2019 when Nazarbayev, now 81, stepped aside and anointed his long-time ally Tokayev as his successor. In his capacity as head of the security council that oversees the military and security services, Nazarbayev continued to retain considerable sway over the country. Tokayev announced Wednesday that he was taking over from Nazarbayev as security council head.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the anger displayed on the streets in recent days was directed not at Tokayev, but at Nazarbayev, who is still widely deemed the country\u2019s ultimate ruler. The slogan &#8220;Shal ket!&#8221; (&#8220;Old man go&#8221;) has become a main slogan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW ARE THE AUTHORITIES RESPONDING?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A police official in Almaty said Thursday that dozens of protesters were killed in attacks on government buildings. At least a dozen police officers were also killed, including one who got beheaded.<\/p>\n<p>There were attempts to storm buildings in Almaty during the night and &#8220;dozens of attackers were liquidated,&#8221; police spokeswoman Saltanat Azirbek said. She spoke on state news channel Khabar-24. The reported attempts to storm the buildings came after widespread unrest in the city on Wednesday, including seizure of the mayor\u2019s building, which was set on fire.<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/640\/320\/Kazakhstan1.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"A man takes a photo of windows of a police kiosk damaged by demonstrators during a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/640\/320\/Kazakhstan1.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"A man takes a photo of windows of a police kiosk damaged by demonstrators during a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.\"><\/noscript> <\/p>\n<p>       A man takes a photo of windows of a police kiosk damaged by demonstrators during a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022.       (Photo\/Vladimir Tretyakov)<\/p>\n<p><strong>KAZAKHSTAN&#8217;S PRESIDENT DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY AS PROTESTS OVER FUEL PRICE JUMP TURNS VIOLENT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The initial reaction was in keeping with usual policy in the face of public discontent. Police and the National Guard were deployed in large numbers. The crowd that made its way to City Hall in the commercial capital, Almaty, early Wednesday was met by large phalanxes of riot police and armored personnel carriers. While gatherings are normally dispersed with ease, the number of people on the street this time was too large.<\/p>\n<p>With government buildings coming under assault in several large cities, Tokayev appealed for help from the Collective Security Treaty Organization, a Moscow-led military alliance. He justified the appeal for external intervention by claiming the protesters were operating at the behest of international terrorist groups. He offered no details on what he meant by that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IS THE GOVENRMENT LIKELY TO BE TOPPLED?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is uncharted territory for Kazakhstan. The country has seen major demonstrations before: In 2016, after the passage of a contentious land law. And again in 2019, after the contentious election that secured Tokayev\u2019s hold on power. But never anything on this scale.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In one of his appeals to the public Wednesday, Tokayev pledged to pursue reforms and hinted that political liberalization might be possible. His darker remarks toward the end of the day, however, suggested he would instead go down a more repressive road.<\/p>\n<p>Still, because the street protests are so lacking in focus, at least for now, it\u2019s difficult to see how they might end. But even if they fail to topple the government, it looks possible they might lead to deep transformation. What is not clear is what that might mean.<\/p>\n<p><!--noindex--><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/behind-unrest-rocking-oil-rich-kazakhstan\">Source<\/a><!--\/noindex--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kazakhstan is experiencing the worst street protests the country has seen since gaining independence three decades ago.
