Eurasianet.org: After two days of unrest, Kyrgyzstan's ex-president is captured
Observers worry the political crisis sparked by this standoff will come at a cost to long-term stability and prosperity.
On their second attempt in two days running, government forces in Kyrgyzstan managed on August 8 to detain former president Almazbek Atambayev, thereby securing a hard-won victory, if only at the risk of fueling longer-term unrest.
Authorities had resorted to force after Atambayev refused multiple summons from investigators to come in for questioning in relation to an ongoing criminal probe. By putting up such a stern resistance, which claimed at least one fatality, the former president may now face considerably more serious judicial reprisals at the hands of an enraged and humiliated government.

Hey Guys!!!Am so happy I got mine from Oliver Parker. My blank ATM card can withdraw € 2,000 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have €14,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on . I am really happy i met Oliver Parker because i met two people before her and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Oliver Parker sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own card from her now he is not like other scammer pretending to have the ATM card, He is giving it out for free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. i'm grateful to Oliver Parker because she changed my story all of a sudden . The card works in all countries except, Mali and Nigeria. Oliver Parker email address is: parketatmhacker@hotmail.com
