1. #Lukashenko was attending the #EurasianEconomicForum where earlier #Kazakh President #Tokayev came close to denouncing Lukashenko's apparent surrender of #Belarusian sovereignty to Russia in part evidenced by the deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus. 
2. Clownish Lukashenko has been dancing through the raindrops to avoid Putin's call for a single Slavic state made up of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. With Ukraine obviously out of Putin's reach, if Lukashenko balked at the final acceptance of the loss of Belarusian sovereignty,
3. his elimination by the murderous, desperate and deranged KGB hood is not just predictable but to be expected. If there are folks ready to rise up in Belarus that time may be soon, as we await word on Lukashenko's fate after being rushed to a Moscow hospital.
Elon's mother was #Canadian.
Did she, like #Justin's mother, get herself impregnated by a #Communist leader???
Official history makes out that #MaoZedong was some random peasant, but #British and #Jesuit schemers had been sowing wild oats in #China for generations previously.

This attack is connected not only with the self-nomination of Dinara Egeubayeva as a deputy to the Mazhilis from a single-mandate district in #Almaty, but also with her consistent and fair criticism of #Tokayev, interviews with victims of torture in January 2022,

A few days ago I wrote about the way in which Russia’s long colonial rule in #Kazakhstan warped my own relationship to the #Kazakh language and culture. The responses to the thread were both eye-opening and thought-provoking. The original🧵:
Growing up in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, I was taught that Russia’s presence in Central Asia was a noble gift of modernity and civilization. Full stop. The word “colonialism” was NEVER used. The strength and staying power of this narrative is hard to exaggerate.
News flow remains positive as the #uranium sector started to decouple from broader market headwinds over the past week. Close to $2bn added to the sectoral market cap, and the spot price sitting just below $50/lb mid-week.
🇰🇿🇷🇺Russia suspends the shipment of Kazakh oil.
This is reported by Kommersant:

🔳They'll be neutralized by the end of the month

Currently, there is no alternative for Kazakhstan, but Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan was offered to Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, but it was not done because they were afraid of Russia

1/5 Valentina #Matvienko visited #Almaty & made a proposal to create a human rights committee for the #UIS. Does this mean that #Kazakhstan will withdraw from the @UN_HRC? The prototype of the @ECHR_CEDH created by #Putin will lead to a new repression of civil society. @Left_EU
2/5 #Tokayev already fails to comply with the Resolutions @eu_eeas. For example, the number of arrested civil activists has increased. The relatives of Nurzhan #Sembayev are being pressured and not allowed to use an independent lawyer. @EamonGilmore @rozathun @MihraRittmann @hrw

No joke! Back home from holiday, my 8 y old daughter's 1st ❓: “Do you know what's going on in #Kazakhstan? The president allowed to shoot the population.” I think my son "briefed" her. My oldest daughter received videos from her colleagues in Kazakhstan. My thread bellow 1/1

#US @SecBlinken: not clear why #Kazakhstan feel the need for any outside assistance. It would seem to me that the government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately with protests to do so in a way that respects the rights of protesters while maintaining law & order.1/3

I get contacted by journos to comment on #Kazakhstan. I’ve done research on external democracy promotion in KZ and KG, but now is the time to give space to our #Kazakh colleagues. Whoever needs a list, please email me - I’m recommending those whom I respect immensely
I highly recommend following @CreativeCorazon for both analysis and updates
Also @zhapisheva provides excellent updates

First fact witness is Australian-Uyghur @Mehray_T testifying on behalf of her husband who was arrested and detained in 2017.

I’m excited to feature two scholar spotlights this month. Guldana Salimjan @YXiaocuo kicks off March and #internationalwomensday with cutting edge work on indigenous knowledge of land and dispossession in nomadic communities of the Junggar Basins (i.e., northern #Xinjiang).

Guldana’s research includes #Kazakh relationships to their land, CCP discourse and implementation of “ecological civilization,” and Kazakh oral poetry.

The Ukrainian billionaire (Victor Pinchuk) in the cross-hairs of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation has a long history of complicated business ties, some of which link to fugitive Kazakh investors in a Trump-branded property.

I met Shereen a few days ago as the #Yazidis mark five years since ISIL’s brutality began on #Sinjar. She tries to forget the pain, but it’s difficult because of her physical and emotional scars. ISIL fighters used her as a sex slave.
She’s among an estimated 7000 #Yezidi women and girls were taken from Sinjar province - many had to endure what Shireen went through.
"I miss my daughters so much, I would give my life if I could see them again" she says holding back tears.
She's found her sons after ISIL lost its last territory in Syria - but her two daughters are still missing.
