Protests in Kyrgyzstan

Well, I admit, I got somewhat bored this evening, probably due to the lack of a TV.

The image exemplifies how far away from Bishkek these protests are happening. Jalalabad, Osh and Naryn are all more than 8 hours away by car (though a former colleague of mine allegedly made the Bishkek - Osh drive within five.

As usual, Nathan has more on events in Kyrgyzstan.

UPDATE 08/03/05: I added Karakol (Przheval'sk on this map). It's a town of 90,000 inhabitants in the East of Kyrgyzstan. Thanks to Nathan for that hint.
