KAZAKH PRESIDENT SAYS RUSSIAN MILITARY TO LEAVE IN 10 DAYS
Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev issued a rare criticism of his long-ruling predecessor Tuesday.
Tokayev said he expected Russian-led forces to leave the Central Asian country in the next 10 days.
The oil-rich country’s descent into chaos has laid bare infighting at the top.
Tokayev’s mentor, 81-year-old Nursultan Nazarbayev, retains the constitutional status of “Leader of the Nation”, despite stepping down from the presidency in 2019.
Tokayev criticized Nazarbayev in a live video conference as the country reels from unprecedented violence that began with peaceful protests over an energy price hike.
He said Nazarbayev’s rule had created a wealthy elite.
