Chinese Reaction To Kyrgyzstan Chaos

Jun 17, 2010
The violence between Kyrgyz and Uzbek residents in the southern cities of Osh and Jalalabad began late on last Thursday and escalated over the weekend. Witnesses said gangs with automatic rifles, iron bars and machetes had set fire to houses and shot fleeing residents.

Some 100,000 ethnic Uzbeks have fled to the nearby border with Uzbekistan or sought refuge in local villages to escape the deadliest fighting in two decades. Many said they were being targeted by Kyrgyz gangs in a "genocide" backed by local police and troops.
