Is it really time for colorful revolution?


After parliament elections held in February and March in Kyrgyzstan, mass protests are rising in the address of government and president A.Akaev. 2 big city administration buildings are taken by people, police forces are joining protesting nation which is led by opposition leaders. Nation is fed up of rule of Akaev family (especially his son has very negative reputation, but surprisingly was elected for parliament recently. And Akaev's older daughter was elected too with many other pro-government people), and suspecting unfair elections. President elections will be held this year in November, A.Akaev's term is finishing but analysts say that he wanted to strengthen his support in parliament and recent elections were mostly won by pro-government candidates. People of Kyrgyzstan are not happy with this, they waited long enough and gave enough chances to Akaev, but he failed to rise country up and now he's not willing to lose his power. Kyrgyz people are requesting him to leave his post immediately. Kyrgyzstan was accepted as Heaven of Democracy in early 90ies, what a pity it can not be said now. After Ukraine, there is possibility that colorful revolution may occur in my country too. I am also for democracy. And we don't want dictators! I hope that everything will be solved peacefully and by dialogs...

Hi Aibek, I am so sad, and depressed, and frustrated re what is going on back home... there was a mtg in bishkek today.. lots of people were arrested...russian newspapers started making pro-akaev's statements.. US has appealed to the opposition to have negotiations without preliminary conditions... i wonder how that could be... i am sure u know about all that... just needed to share this with smth... i hate this regime, i hate the family at power.. on the other hand i have never found enough guts to go and protest.. but now i do..i wish i could be there now.. to join all my friends... smart, well-educated people, who found courage to express their views... maybe this is just a beginning.. i really wanna think so...sorry for such comments.. i hope (and actually can see that:) u r enjoying tai pei.. keep in touch p.s. thanks for passing the info to mirbek.. he came to visit us last saturday.. so we r in contact now.. good to have someone from ur home here:)

Lots argument and protest also happening since last March, our President election. It shall be continued for a while before the truth is found out.

I can feel for aisulu and you Aibek. No one will not want their home country be a peaceful and safe one. However, sadly to say it might be part of revolution....
