Unrest in Kazahkstan is continuing, and the president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, has called on a Moscow-led security alliance to provide “peacekeeping troops” to help him regain control.
With a mobile reception and internet blackout across much of the country, reliable figures on casualties are hard to come by, but there have been violent clashes in Almaty and other cities. Tokayev has promised a ruthless crackdown and blamed “terrorists” trained abroad for the violence.
Kazakhstan is the world largest uranium producer, 12th largest oil producer, 9th largest coal producer. The world might get into chaos if the unrest persists which could drive up the prices of the electricity and cause further disruption in global supply chain.
