youtu.be/hCoqi9MTuFI Zhanaozen massacre - 16–17 December 2011 The Zhanaozen massacre took place in Kazakhstans western Mangystau Province over the weekend of 16–17 December 2011. At least 14 protestors were killed by police in the oil town of Zhanaozen as they clashed with police on the countrys Independence Day,[2] with unrest spreading to other towns in the oil-rich oblast, or province.[3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhanaozen_massacre Under President Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan has grown richer from oil revenues. The country also has earned itself a reputation for stability in Central Asia.[4] Kazakhstans democratic record, however, is very poor. Widespread corruption, electoral fraud, and violation of human rights are some of the most serious problems.
