Kazakhstan, a country of 19 million people rich in hydrocarbons, this week has been the scene of a series of unprecedented riots since its independence in 1989, which have caused dozens of deaths.
The mobilization began last Sunday in the provinces due to the increase in the price of gas, and spread to large cities, especially Almaty, the economic capital, where riots broke out.
The police fired live bullets at the protesters. According to the Interior Ministry, the material damage is estimated at about 200 million dollars.
