BISHKEK, April 19 (Itar-Tass) — About 1,000 aggressive people are moving to downtown Bishkek from the northern suburb of the Kyrgyz capital. According to eyewitnesses, the mob has aggressive intentions, cries out anti-Russian slogans and set on fire several police cars. The goals of these people are unclear yet. According to the latest reports, they are just 2-3 kilometers away from the center of the city.
The police are trying to break up raging land raiders. The police are attempting to scatter them into small groups and oust them to western and northern suburbs of the Kyrgyz capital. Several trucks with servicemen of the interior troops and special task forces arrived at the clash site.
Meanwhile, the mob is very aggressive, hurls stones at passers-by and at the cars parked along the highways. Young people did not want to listen to acting Bishkek mayor Isa Omurkulov, who intended to negotiate with them. According to some reports, the mob is attempting to break to the center of the city.
The police with the support of local residents have earlier ousted the land raiders that seize 700 hectares of croplands near the suburban settlement of Mayevka.
“The lootings broke out in a suburb of the Kyrgyz capital,” press attach· of the Russian Embassy in Kyrgyzstan Viktor Kharchenko said live on the Ekho Moskvy Radio on Monday. “We have information that the land raiders are using the force, there is information about lootings and people injured in the clashes,” he said. “People are trying to protect their croplands, but as a result a big mob with sticks and stones came. They triggered the clashes,” Kharchenko said. “We are specifying this,” the press attache added.

A new wave of riots erupted in the capital of the ex-Soviet Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan when some 2,000 people armed with sticks, stones and torches hit the streets of Bishkek on Monday.
Eyewitnesses say that new riots began when a group of people tried to seize some 700 hectares of land in the suburbs of Bishkek. However, the landowners drove them from the area, which angered the invaders who moved to the capital and started riots. According to some reports, the rioters set several cars on fire and stoned a police building in the village of Mayevka.
Violence broke out in Kyrgyzstan on April 6, spreading across the country. President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was deposed and forced to flee the capital and later the country. An interim government was formed under Roza Otumbayeva.
Bakiyev had refused to step down as the interim government was demanding, but reports on Friday said a resignation letter had been faxed from a location in Kazakhstan to the authorities in Bishkek. A statement was published later on Friday by the Kazakh state news agency Kazinform.
The deposed president has taken refuge in Kazakhstan but the new Kyrgyz authorities have said they will initiate an international investigation into the alleged crimes committed by him. A special operation has begun in an attempt to find the former president’s brother, and ex-security services chief.

des centaines de personnes attaquent des propriétaires terriens

BICHKEK — Le Kirghizstan a été le théâtre lundi de violences opposant des centaines de personnes armées de bâtons et de cailloux à des propriétaires terriens dans les environs de Bichkek, la capitale de ce pays d’Asie centrale, ont rapporté des médias locaux.
Les forces de l’ordre se sont rendues sur les lieux pour disperser les assaillants qui venaient de prendre possession d’un terrain dans le village de Maïevka et se sont ensuite rendus au centre de Bichkek, ont indiqué la radio Azattyk et l’agence officielle Kabar.
A Bichkek, ce groupe a contraint le maire de la capitale, Issa Omourkoulov, à signer un document sur le transfert de propriété de ce terrain, a précisé Kabar.
Après avoir obtenu la signature du maire, les assaillants sont retournés chez eux à pied.
Les tensions restent fortes au Kirghizstan après le soulèvement populaire au début du mois, qui a fait 84 morts et forcé le président Kourmanbek Bakiev à fuir Bichkek, avant de quitter par la suite le pays et remettre sa démission.
Anatoli Oleïnitchenko, chef du district Leninski dans la banlieue de Bichkek, a confirmé que les incidents avaient éclaté lorsque plusieurs dizaines de personnes ont commencé à s’emparer de ce terrain. Rejoints par d’autres, les assaillants étaient ensuite environ 300.
« Il s’agissait purement de pillage. Le terrain appartient à des gens qui l’ont acheté ensemble », a déclaré M. Oleïnitchenko à la radio Echo de Moscou, observant que cette région était habitée par des Kirghiz et des Russes.
Temir Sariev, chef-adjoint du gouvernement par intérim arrivé au pouvoir après les affrontements sanglants du début du mois, avait indiqué dimanche que les nouveaux dirigeants contrôlaient la situation dans le pays, en dépit de nouveaux troubles provoqués samedi par des partisans de M. Bakiev dans le sud du pays.
L’incertitude régnait toujours sur l’endroit où se trouvait M. Bakiev, arrivé jeudi à Taraz, dans le sud du Kazakhstan voisin où il a remis sa démission, après des négociations coordonnées par la Russie et les Etats-Unis.
