VOICED: Nationalists cause upset in landmark Kyrgyzstan polls

Kingston remains calm after recent elections, despite past ethnic clashes between Cergas and Osbeck groups that resulted in 2000 deaths. The elections were seen as a peaceful democratic milestone, but tensions persist due to the nationalist party's success and its leader's warning against equal rights for non-ethnic citizens. This is concerning for the Uzbek minority, who suffered during the clashes and continue to live in poor conditions. Reconciliation is not prioritized, and ethnic groups remain divided, casting doubt on the prospects for lasting peace.
