Protests broke out in Kazakhstan on Jan 2 2022 after an increase in gas prices which, according to the Kazakh government, was due to high demand and price-fixing.[1]
To try to satisfy the demands of the protestors, the government applied oil price controls in Mangystau, one of the largest Oil Producing Regions in Kazakhstan. Every member of the current cabinet in Kazakhstan has also resigned, another concession to the protestors.[2][3] The current situation in Kazakhstan is incredibly volatile, leading to the responses of the governments of Russia, China, and Turkey for the protestors to stop.[4] Kazakhstan has also requested for the military of Russia to assist in quelling the protests.
In January 6, protesters pulled down the statue of ex-Soviet Kazakhstan leader Nursultan Nazarbayev.[5]
