Kyrgyzstan President sacks security council secretary Damir Sagynbayev

Jeenbekov named Zhanybek Kaparov as new deputy secretary of security council which coordinates the work of all security forces in the country.

The protests began on Monday in the Central Asian country, after election results showed two establishment parties had won Sunday's parliamentary election, in a contest that was allegedly marred by allegations of vote buying.

The uprising has spread very fast. Protesters stormed the parliament and attacked Russian and Chinese companies for supporting the regime and plundering the resources of the country.

On Tuesday, following the protests, the electoral authorities in the country annulled the results of the parliamentary elections.

Due to pressure from the protest, Prime Minister Kubatbek Boronov resigned, citing parliamentary deputy Myktybek Abdyldayev as the new speaker.

Kyrgyz President Sooronbai Jeenbekov declared a state of emergency in the capital Bishkek on Friday.

So far, one person has been killed and 590 others injured in the protests, according to the local reports. (ILKHA)
