Almost 500 criminal cases are being investigated in Kazakhstan as a result of the riots that took place in the republic. A tenth of them, according to the Prosecutor General’s Office, are for acts of terrorism. Meanwhile, peaceful life is returning to the streets of Kazakhstani cities. In Alma-Ata, the international airport has resumed operation.
Alma-Ata wants to forget about the riots in early January as soon as possible. The restoration of the akimat, the revival of the main building of the city is under the supervision of armed people. The measure is forced, it is necessary to avoid provocations. Everything that can be saved is taken out of the akimat. The mask is not needed here because of the coronavirus, although this is also a problem. And because of the fact that a lot of dust. Otherwise, you can suffocate. Pieces of concrete and all rubbish are collected in bags and thrown down from the upper floors. Then they will be taken away. The scale of destruction is difficult to describe in words, it seems that everything here has burned to the ground. Once upon a time there was parquet on this floor, chandeliers hung on the ceiling. And now everything is destroyed. How long it takes to recover, while no one is ready to speak. The business of Kazakhstan volunteered to compensate for the damage to the administration and other facilities. Entrepreneurs are ready to chip in.
In the corridors of the akimat, you can see sealed rooms, here, apparently, investigative actions were carried out. There are dozens of offices in this building, completely destroyed. Once upon a time there were departments, departments, decisions were made that influenced the fate of thousands of citizens, not to mention millions. And it really takes time to get over it.
The militants and marauders did not spare the editorial office of the Mir TV channel either. They stole all the cameras, destroyed the equipment. Miraculously, no employees were hurt. Now they are taking out everything that can still be used in the work. The perpetrators of these attacks are being sought – two thousand people involved in the crimes have been detained in the city. The counter-terrorist operation continues, but Alma-Ata seems to hardly notice it. The city is recovering and returning to normal life.
