Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia [Lucifer]... Daniel 10:20 "From the days of Adam to our own time, our great enemy has
been exercising his power to oppress and destroy." E.G.W.
Prince of Persia is Stoking Bloodshed in central Asia.
The cause appears to be driven by sky rocketing energy costs.
This would be due to two things (which we blogged about on here recently) that the Prince of Persia has Influence over:
1) Incompetent Politicians
2) Radical Policies by Politicians
Q: Is this the tip of the iceberg of more to come globally OR isolated to this region and will simply run it's course?
Q: Or will this feed into a wider conflict? Already Russia, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan are apparently being drug into it.
"A wave
of deadly riots swept across Kazakhstan earlier this week, 
following a
sharp rise in gas prices. Despite the government's attempts to quell the
crowds and now-fulfilled promises to decrease prices, peaceful protests
turned into violent clashes with law enforcement officers, as well as
looting, arson and acts of terrorism across the country.
Thursday, Jan. 6, 2022. Kazakhstan's president authorized security forces on Friday to shoot to kill those participating in unrest, opening the door for a dramatic escalation in a crackdown on anti-government protests that have turned violent.
Kazakhstan
is currently under a state of emergency until 19 January
as
counter-terrorism operations continue across the country.
Over 5,000 people have been detained throughout Kazakhstan in relation
to the unrest, which saw mass looting, arson, the killing of law
enforcement officers, and at least one confirmed beheading of a police
officer. The preliminary damage amounts to over $200 million.
Fides: "Until last year - he notes - fuel in Kazakhstan cost 40 cents a
liter, an unthinkable price in Italy. Today those prices have been
doubled and, at the same time, inflation has reached very high peaks.
All this has led the middle class to protest violently: it is these
citizens who feel most affected, given that the poor do not own cars.
People do not understand why a country that 'floats' on gas and oil must
pay so much for oil and gas".
Russian peacekeeping troops, part of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO) mission to protest-hit Kazakhstan, began emergency
prevention exercises at an airfield near Almaty on Sunday, the Russian
Defense Ministry said. "Russia's CSTO peacekeeping units are
conducting exercises at the Almaty airfield to train emergency
prevention," a statement read.
Currency exchange services in Kazakhstan's banks have been suspended for
security purposes, the country's national bank said Sunday, following
several days of protests that started over increased fuel prices and
quickly descended into violence.
The suspension is meant to
ensure "security and safety of the services themselves as well as staff
and clients," according to the bank's statement. The banking
system will be restored in stages due to unstable internet and ongoing
counterterrorist operation in the city of Almaty, the bank said.
Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov said on Sunday that he could not rule out
the possibility that some Kyrgyz citizens may have taken part in
protests in Kazakhstan over the past week.
The Organization of Turkic States is ready to offer Kazakhstan any help
it needs to overcome the security crisis in the wake of fuel protests,
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Sunday. The organization is made up of five Turkic-speaking states, namely Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey and Uzbekistan." Sputnik
