Russia Today coverage of government protests in Kyrgysztan. 17 are dead after demonstrators converged at the capital during what was supposed to be a peaceful show of dissent against the government of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev. Don’t worry though, the Kyrgysztanis are old hat at this. Bakiyev came into office this same way in 2005.

Oh, P.S. the U.S. uses this country as a fueling base on the way to Afghanistan. That’s why we care.
