Cry from Kyrgyzstan

Cry from Kyrgyzstan

We are in the epicenter of war (the city of Osh, Kyrgyzstan).

Something terrible and inconceivable is going on here! It’s amazing that the mass media don’t report even one tenths of what’s really happening here. It’s an ethnic cleansing, if it’s possible to say so. Many Uzbek settlements have been burnt to ashes. People are being slaughtered in whole families. There are many women and children, piles of dead bodies and wounded people in the streets who receive no help at all. The groups of young Kyrgyz people who are drunk or under drugs are wandering around the city with the guns, killing and burning everything on their way.

This whole situation has a political underpinning. This inner national conflict has been growing for a long time now and someone used it knowingly to attain their end. I think this is the reason why the government stands idle or keeps silent about what’s going on. It seems that this negligence is deliberate and planned.

Sergey, my son-in-law, went home at his own risk to get something to eat. There was a wounded old man lying in the street dying. Sergey tried to help him and turned him over to his back. At the same moment, a crowd of young people came running and they started beating up the old man with their feet. One of them said, “He is a Kyrgyz!”, the other said, “No, he is an Uzbek! Let’s burn him!” When Sergey was coming back, the old man was dead and all burnt.

Officially, there was issued a decree that the initiators of conflicts should be shot to kill but no one complies with this order. The violence continues!!!! The helicopters are in the sky only for show. And the cars with the flashing lights are out also only for show. There are no dynamic actions from the law-enforcement authorities. A militant group invaded a military base not far from our house today. There are guns, helicopters and armored vehicles on this base. They had so much weapons before (I don’t even know how ordinary people who are just having a conflict with each other, can have so much weapons). Now they have even more guns and also military equipment.

You should also add to all of this the fact that we can’t bye any food products and there is a real threat of hunger when the little food stock that we have is over. People say that the humanitarian loads of food and medicines are coming but it’s only a drop in an ocean. They brought us some bread now but they are not giving it to Russians for some season.

We don’t’ need the humanitarian aid! We just want to live! Why do all of the Russian news show that the situation is stabilized whereas everything has become even worse? There is only one answer to this question – someone doesn’t want other people to know about it. My aim is to share as much information as possible in order to attract the world’s attention to what’s going on here. We are afraid to be left alone, face to face with our own grief!!! The fact that the little remains of the Russian people are not involved in the conflict is only the matter of time. These people have felt the taste of blood, freedom and impunity. We have a serious fear for our lives. To say better, we are feeling a constant animal fear. Please, share this information with as more people as possible at all possible forums and web-sites. This is our cry for help – the cry of despair! Please, let’s be praying!!!!!
