Friends,
Yesterday there was a government in Kyrgystan led by President Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Corrupt, sure. Some would even say yesterday’s government was a teensy tiny bit kleptomanical and that could be a fair assessment. Today, there’s a new government led by former foreign minister Roza Otunbayeva and propped up by the military in Kyrgyzstan after protests against the old government cost the lives of at least 60. The new prime minister has agreed to continue the arrangement reached between the United States and Bakiyev for use of an air base in the country conveniently located near Iraq and Afghanistan. For now. If this doesn’t seem eerily familiar, it really should.
We’re still pals though, right?
