A friend from Bishkek sends her thoughts on what happened lately:

"It is still hard to realize that people’s velvet revolution took place in Kyrgyzstan. It reached its final end very spontaneously. No one expected that White House would be captured in 2 hours."

"Kyrgyz Opposition and demonstrators were expecting to protest peacefully on the Ala-Too Square as long as it would take for resignation of Akaev. They were planning to set up “boz uis”- yirtas and kitchen tents there and protest peacefully."

"But as Abdujalil mentioned some people with blue scarves around their arms provocated peaceful demonstrators by throwing stones at them. Demonstrators were not wild and among them were rural and Bishkek people as well."

"Concerning irregularities in White House and marauders need to be researched because there are many contradictions and unclear things. Some sources say that it was planned by previous government and those marauders were the same people who provocated the peaceful demonstrators by throwing stones, who were with blue scarves around their arms."

"I admit that there was chaos in Bishkek in the first night after velvet revolution. Fortunately the situation is being stabilized with the help of police and narodnye drugenniki, which are voluntarily helping to make order and to protect our city."

"KelKel is taking very active position in mobilizing youth to organize groups of narodnye drujenniki and to assist to police and other security institutions to make order and provide security in Bishkek. Other information about our revolution and about KelKel activity you can read at our website: www.kelkel-kg.org"

"There are different people and therefore there are different interpretations of Kyrgyz velvet revolution. Hope the irregularities happened in Bishkek will not continue anymore and are the only negative consequences of people’s revolution. Wind of changes is blowing in Kyrgyzstan and hope it will bring better life for my people."
