The situation in Kazakhstan has become an important topic for a number of telephone conversations. President of Russia Vladimir Putin several times during the week I called the leaders of the CSTO – President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rakhmon, as well as with the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, who now chairs the organization.
Putin had several telephone conversations with the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev. They discussed joint actions within the framework of the CSTO mandate to combat international terrorism and to ensure order and security of citizens of Kazakhstan. Separately, Tokayev expressed gratitude to Putin for his help. In addition, the Russian President supported the idea of holding a video conference of the Collective Security Council. As the press secretary of the head of state confirmed, such a meeting with the participation of Putin is scheduled for January 10…
Obviously, by this conversation of the leaders there will already be more operational data on the events that resulted in the deaths of the residents of Kazakhstan, including three children… On January 10, a nationwide mourning was announced in the country. Now the following is clear: the weapons were brought to the bandits by cars and handed out in the open in the squares. Bystanders became victims of chaotic shooting. Participants in the riots did not allow firefighters and ambulances to work. The actions of the pogromists, including those from abroad, were coordinated.
Participants of the pogroms tried to escape from Almaty in a white jeep with foreign numbers, but were detained by the police. In the trunk – weapons and loot.
In the city of Taraz there is generally an arsenal that would be enough for a whole detachment: carbines, machine guns, a sniper rifle.
There are already several thousand of those arrested throughout the country, and each of them had a pistol or a knife. These are definitely not participants in peaceful protests, as they initially wanted to be presented.
“He seems to be in charge of the actions of the link. This is clearly visible in the footage filmed outside the burned-out Kazakhstan TV channel – dressed in a red jacket, he shows the others where to go,” said Rakhim Oshakbayev, a member of the National Council of Public Trust under the President of Kazakhstan.
There are a lot of people in hospitals – not citizens of Kazakhstan, who also speak Arabic. There was penetration from neighboring countries, from the south.
Weapons were brought in and distributed centrally – from cars, here are shots from Alma-Ata, and this – already dozens of barrels – from Chimkent. Well-established street fighting tactics.
“There is a civilian population as a barrier, it is put in the foreground, and behind there are already well-organized militants who, in the end, having secured access to the desired facilities, be it social infrastructure, buildings in which the authorities are located, law enforcement agencies, perhaps there are warehouses with weapons, “said Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev.
The demonstrators threw stones at those who filmed them for a reason: on the video you can hear the crowd shouting “Allahu Akbar”. Islamic takbir. Everything falls into place
“When you hear ‘Allah Akbar’ in the crowds that storm either the presidential administration or the akimats, when you see how it works with the delivery of weapons, how superbly organized, tactically and strategically prepared groups, well, these are fired professionals,” he said political scientist, orientalist Yevgeny Satanovsky…
First of all, they seized infrastructure facilities to restrict movement. Here is footage from the Almaty airport: passengers scatter in panic, and the building is not just looted – all ticket offices and airline offices were specially destroyed. The militants also wanted to destroy the control room and the mission control center.
In the gray mass, bright red jackets are clearly visible – this is the person in such a storm among those storming the airport. And this is in the crowd smashing a fire engine. He has no weapons, but it is obvious that he is in charge of the actions of the flight.
“It is critically important to understand why the state slept through the underground preparation of terrorist attacks by sleeping cells of militants. 20 thousand bandits attacked Alma-Ata alone. combat readiness and bestial cruelty, “- said the President of Kazakhstan Tokayev.
The startling atrocity is also a sure sign of Islamic radicals. They killed without hesitation – they simply shot the cars passing by. A policeman is beaten with sticks and iron rods, and in these frames another one is overtaken by a bullet during a street shootout. The body of one of them was found with his head cut off. The latter, according to the commandant’s office, is direct evidence of the terrorist and extremist nature of the bandit formations.
“Obviously, these are Islamic militants. Many are wondering where they came from in such numbers, prepared for such actions, well aware of where and how to strike, how to block the military personnel who received weapons. There is only one conclusion: these are militants from Afghanistan. , which in due time after the withdrawal of the United States there only became more and which today, having felt the opportunity, showed themselves on the territory of Kazakhstan “, – says the head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vasiliev.
In the west of Kazakhstan, where the pogroms and demonstrations began, there are traditionally strong Salafist movements, radical Islam characteristic of ISIS (“Islamic State”, banned in the Russian Federation) and Al-Qaeda (banned in the Russian Federation).
Ten years ago, in the Aktobe region, there was a real war with the police, in which the groups of radicals who underwent combat training in Pakistan participated. Just three years ago, a Salafi gang was arrested, keeping all long-distance traffic in Atyrau at bay. The radicals went underground.
“There, in addition to Salafi cells, there was a strong nationalist trend, including, if not directly sponsored by some representatives of the authorities of official Kazakhstan, then at least the Kazakh authorities did not pay serious attention to such nationalist cells and the work of foreign non-profit organizations of the Wahhabi persuasion,” expert of the Russian Council on International Affairs Viktor Murakhovsky.
There is a huge number of NGOs in Kazakhstan – 22 thousand, and two thirds of them are financed from abroad. One of the few countries in the post-Soviet space, where the Soros Foundation still operates without restrictions – it has spent more than a hundred million dollars in Kazakhstan, but what exactly does not appear in the reports. Soros’ budgets were larger only in Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine – where street protests managed to overthrow the existing government.
“For several years, it turns out, there were training camps. And you imagine the National Security Committee, which periodically neutralized this or that group, – there were reports: it was neutralized there, here, – and there were silence about the numerous training camps in the mountains. a crime, “says the adviser to the President of Kazakhstan, Yermukhamet Yertysbayev.
The head of the National Security Committee Karim Massimov, who is accused of treason, was arrested. The investigation is looking for all those responsible for destabilization.
“The so-called free media and foreign figures, who are far from the fundamental interests of our multinational people, play an aiding and essentially instigating role in violations of law and order,” Tokayev said.
A wave of protest tried to saddle the fugitive Kazakh banker Mukhtar Ablyazov – in his homeland he is accused of the murder of a business partner, in the West – of financial fraud.
“We occupy the buildings of akimats, we fill the square in front of the akimats with protesters. We put up tents. We organize squads. The main headquarters is in Kiev. I myself am in Paris,” the businessman admitted.
So far, only the Security Service of Ukraine has responded to the call, immediately checking the same Kiev office.
In this appeal by armed men in masks and with weapons, which copies a video of “warriors of the Caliphate” ten years ago, they immediately found a foreign trail. It turned out that this time the Ukrainian nationalist Korchinsky was pushing Kazakhstan towards revolution. And it is clear that he has nothing to do with the protests – he simply could not help but take advantage of it. The real instigators of attacks on the statehood of Kazakhstan will be named after the end of the investigation.
