ok, this is one that has slipped under the radar a bit and I had not expected it to have been all that bad considering the almost silence on what is happening there.
Then Dear Aggregator opened my mind.
There are people claiming attempted genocide. Some of the descriptions are horrendous too - from the linked article, the very first paragraph is:
It was early afternoon when the mob surged down an alley of neat rose bushes and halted outside Zarifa's house. The Kyrgyz men broke into her courtyard and sat Zarifa down next to a cherry tree. They asked her a couple of questions. After confirming she was an ethnic Uzbek, they stripped her, raped her and cut off her fingers. After that they killed her and her small son, throwing their bodies into the street. They then moved on to the next house.
inna lilla wa inna ilaihi raaji'oon.
Why Kyrgyzstan's pogroms are my fault (and yours, Britain's and America's)
This article has a bit of history in there for anyone wanting to brush up ion what happened.
