Still in the southern portion of the country and still holding out hope for retaking power after last week’s outster, Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev today appealed for a United Nations invasion to stabilize the nation and, presumably, return him to power.
Bakiyev warned that police and security forces have been “paralyzed” since last week’s protests, which ended with the police killing scores of Kyrgyz protesters and the protesters running Bakiyev and the rest of the ruling party out of office.
Roza Otunbayeva, the nation’s de facto leader, warned that her interim government could no longer guarantee Bakiyev’s safety and suggested that he might be subject to arrest for his actions.
“The interim government is prepared to use force in the event that Bakiyev attempts to destabilize the situation,” warned deputy head Omurbek Tekebayev. Bakiyev has refused repeated calls to resign, as well as offers of safe passage out of the nation.
This is an internal matter. The UN is not supposed to get involved.
The UN knows where it puts their nose, Did they put it on the Palestine Holocaust?
Palestine is occupied territory. It is an international matter, subject to international law, not an internal one.
Bakiyev really needs to go to the UN in NYC and make the case in person. While he is there he might try standup comedy in the clubs. This beats "Moscow on the Hudson" hands down.
What a fool. He'd better take his money and run. Neither the UN nor the US will get involved. The US will try to bribe the new leaders, but it's not clear that will work. I don't think they like the status of forces agreement. We need to get our people out of there.
Gee, why aren't the Libs all worked up about this reform movement like they were about the one in Iran, and about the many MORE people killed by the oppressive government? And what about Georgia where the death toll for reformers has been about as high as in Iran, for a much smaller country? Why are the Libs so selective in their sympathy?
Ah, stupid questions I know. Wny would anyone sympathize with dirty riff raff that don't kowtow to the Obamian Empire?
Zionist orders, that's why. Apparently, like the american guv, the zionists who control the u.s. guv didn't see this rebellion coming. And so didn't prepare for it. No prepared talking points. I've noticed the same on message boards. Right now, all that the neo-con trolls can seem to muster up is "the dirty Russians did it". They've gotten no additional marching orders beyond that.
As the man said, Obama for Bush was brilliant rebranding. A change of color and all the racists Right (Democrat) and Even More Right (Republican) sort themselves out into teams.
And the americans have still not recognised the guv and dropped bakiyev from what I've heard. I smell a new "contra" force being worked up here by the americans and nato. As they have little support in the country, they are probably trying to get imported thugs into there right now. They are not fooling the new guv or the Kyrgyz people. Soon as the americans start their terrorism, Manas will be taken from them. So will the rest of the nato bases in the region as the rest of the countries there are in no mood to see the usa and nato start their Chechen monkey business in the region.
