The violence and rioting continues in the country’s second largest city, Osh. 37 people have died and over 500 hundred have been injured in violent clashes on the streets. Soldiers and armoured personal carriers have been sent in to try and control the looting, burning and huge gangs of youths roaming the streets.

A state of emergency has been declared by the transitional government and the disturbances have been the most serious since the transitional government took power and an uprising ousted former President Kurmanbek Bakiev that killed more than 80 people. There are fears that this political instability could escalate into a civil war as the Kyrgyz and Uzbeks continue to clash.

‘Destructive forces, together with criminal elements, are trying to escalate inter-ethnic conflict,’ Ruslan Kazakbayev, the country’s interim foreign minister, said during a summit of regional leaders in neighbouring Uzbekistan.

Both the Russian president, Dimitry Medvedev and the Chinese leader, Hu Jintao have publicly stated from the summit they are attending in Uzbekistan that they want to see this conflict resolved as quickly as possible.
