Middle East Observer: Prompt Russian Response Pushes Kazakhstan Out of US Zone of Influence

_{CSTO contingent in Almaty}

Journalists, experts and politicians in various countries of the world speak out on Kazakhstani topics. The Middle East is no exception in this regard. Al-Jazeera shares its views on the topic of events in Kazakhstan, recalling that the United States had its own interests in relation to the republic.

Middle Eastern author Muhammad al-Minshawi recalls that it was the United States of America that became the first state to recognize the independence of Kazakhstan after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

From the material:

It is important to note that Kazakhstan is one of the countries that are in the orbit of Russian interests. At the same time, the United States was actively expanding its influence in this Central Asian republic. As a result, the conflict manifested itself.

The author in Al-Jazeera writes that Kazakhstan "should have become a second front against Russia besides Ukraine." But now, according to observer al-Minshawi, Kazakhstan is slipping away from American influence.

It is noted that in recent years, military personnel from NATO countries (Great Britain, Turkey) have often visited Kazakhstan to conduct joint exercises. This caused concern in Moscow. How worried the United States would be if Russia took part in NATO exercises without the participation of American troops.

Kazakhstan tried to maneuver between the interests of Russia and the United States, but in the end one has to choose. If back in 2019 American generals talked about the presence of the closest ties with Kazakhstan in the field of military cooperation and security, now this US cooperation near the southern borders of Russia should be gradually forgotten.

The author writes that the prompt reaction of Russia is taking Kazakhstan out of the zone of influence of the United States, which now cannot rely on Kazakhstani resources, including strategically important uranium.

for all the dislike of the pensioner for the current government, I think that it has been done extremely professionally.

Once again, I'm not ashamed of Russia.

And I am ashamed of the actions (or rather inaction) of the police in this situation. Why is the indifference of the police manifested in anti-Russian, anti-state actions? Doesn't it look like anything?

[Orange bigg]

The experience associated with the events in Ukraine in 2014 taught that it is better to extinguish the fire at an early stage. The strength of the existing political and economic system of Kazakhstan has been exhausted. That's the bombing. The classic revolutionary situation when the lower classes cannot continue to live like this, and the upper classes do not want to change anything. .Something similar happened in 2014 in Ukraine.

.What is now happening on the streets of Kazakhstan is a direct consequence of a whole range of socio-economic problems, where the rise in prices for propane and methane turned out to be only a convenient excuse to "stir up" and settle scores between the local elites. The root of today's tragedy of modern Kazakhstan lies in the remnants of the tribal system, multiplied by the unitary form of government, complicated by the "Russian factor", which is the strongest brake on the successful development of this country and at the same time a "time bomb".

If you look at the map, you can see that Kazakhstan is very clearly divided into three parts: Northern, Southern and Western, where historically three Kazakh zhuzes live compactly - Middle, Senior and Junior, respectively, also divided into tribes and clans. Each of the regions and zhuzes inhabiting it has its own specifics, which, without pretending to be the ultimate truth, we will try to briefly describe for a better understanding of the situation.

Middle zhuz

It is the largest of the zhuzes, occupying the north and east of the country, and at the same time the most industrialized. There is nothing surprising in this, since at one time it grew due to a number of Russian territories. In addition to Kazakhs, ethnic Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Tatars and even Chechens live here. The language of communication here is Russian.

The middle zhuz is both "Celina", where grain crops are grown, and the conditional "Siberia". Its lands are rich in copper, iron, bauxite, lead, magnesium, titanium, coal, rare earth metals. The cities are developed industrial centers, the society is Europeanized and cosmopolitan. There are mosques, but not at every step. No ostentatious religiosity.

Senior zhuz

It is the smallest in size and is located in the southeast of the country. As part of the Russian Empire, the Elder Zhuz was the last, and the influence of neighboring China is traditionally very strong here. It is a network of oases with cozy auls in a lifeless clay desert where camels roam. Ironically, it is in these barren lands that Kazakhstan's main wealth is hidden - uranium ore, as well as zinc and lead deposits.

There are many mosques in the villages, the atmosphere is patriarchal, everyday wearing of national costumes is common here. In the Middle Zhuz, besides the Kazakhs, there are many Uzbeks and Uighurs. Few know Russian, but at the same time they are quite tolerant of Russian. By the way, this is where the first president of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and the current president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev, as well as the country's leading business elites, come from. Let's remember this important point.

Junior zhuz

The junior zhuz is located in the west of the country; it is sometimes even compared to the American “wild West”. This is a huge arid desert with rare intersperses of small auls. The population density is low. Russians have lived here since the 16th century, but they failed to Russify the local population. Instead, they themselves "turned out", turning into steppe dwellers. It is believed that western Kazakhstan has the highest concentration of "mambets" - the Kazakh analogue of our "gopniks". A peaceful traveler can run into problems here, as they say, out of the blue, either with hooligans or with the police.

Kazakhs from other zhuzes themselves are not very fond of visiting the Younger Zhuz. But you have to. It is here that the richest deposits of oil, as well as chromium and uranium are located.

.This is such a difficult internal political situation in Kazakhstan. While the country was living on natural resource rent from the export of minerals, everything was relatively safe. But the coronavirus crisis of 2020, which led to a drop in oil prices, and then pandemic restrictions, exposed all the existing contradictions. Three differently directed zhuzes constantly competed among themselves, waging an intraspecific struggle.

.Before it is too late, it is necessary to do what should have been done in the home of Ukraine. It is necessary to carry out a reform to change the unitary form of the state structure of Kazakhstan to a federal one, taking into account national specifics. Three such different zhuzes will then be able to comfortably coexist, as Nezalezhnaya had a chance for that until 2014, if Western Ukraine, Central and South-Eastern Ukraine had appeared peacefully. Let's make a reservation that we are not talking about any "annexations", but only about a possible internal political reform within the framework of a united Kazakhstan.

The classic revolutionary situation when the lower classes cannot continue to live like this, and the upper classes do not want to change anything.

There is no revolutionary situation there. A revolutionary situation is when the lower and upper classes have exhausted the possibility of consensus IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE EXISTING SOCIAL-ECONOMIC FORMATION. In Kazakhstan, however, there is a usual intracapitalist crisis, aggravated by the actively reviving tribal relations. In addition, it's nice to hear it for the Kazakhs or not, but in recent years Kazakhstan has less and less manifested itself as a subject of international politics and more and more as an object. As a result, we have what we have: an external invasion, using an internal crisis to swing the situation.
There is no smell of revolution here. From the word at all.

[LiSiCyn]

Yes, it's all bullshit - zhuzes ... If everything were so "serious", fig Nazarbayev would have translated the capital. They are all Kazakhs. This is so, by pontovat.

Quote: OrangeBigg

... In the Middle Zhuz, besides the Kazakhs, there are many Uzbeks and Uighurs. Few know Russian, but at the same time they are quite tolerant of Russian.

Typo. In the Senior Zhuz. As for tolerance ... What happened now was a war between the city and the countryside ... Alma-Ata was plundered by the "aul" people. + there were groups of real militants, I will not argue that extremists, maybe crime ... They took guns and stormed the objects of state bodies. Moreover, at least infa, they knew exactly where they were ... In the palace (city hall) was ... From the old days there was still when Nazarbayev was sitting there, before him was Kunaev. And there, they didn’t take the pistils ... And from there, the departments went to bomb, almost simultaneously. 4 neighbors took, 5th% (Auezovsky) rested, and could not. The KNB was taken without a fight at all. And if the building is the same, then it is not so easy to take it, and the people there are decent, in short, they have rented it. They tried to take the border school (academy), hoping that the cadets would link. And there is an arsenal of th .. If in the state of 93, 1 people were enrolled in 360 course. Plus a supply battalion, in the same place. The border guards got it, at the school and on Kok-Tyube they lost, only 7 people were killed. 3 cadets and 4 officers, among them the beginning of the department.
There, in the text, the topic of uranium skips, there is such an opinion ...
About Kazakhstan, uranium and foreign intervention.

The topic with uranium in the Kazakh events may turn out to be even cooler than Rybar wrote, comparing with the events in the Central African Republic.

First, some general information. More than 40% of the world's uranium is mined in Kazakhstan. And in terms of uranium reserves, Kazakhstan is in second place in the world. There are 5 of the 10 largest developed uranium deposits in the world in the republic. According to the laws of the country, foreign companies for the extraction of uranium must create a subsidiary in partnership with the state-owned Kazatomprom, which will own a share of at least 50%. Also, foreigners are required to invest in the economy of Kazakhstan and provide technology.

The first foreigners who entered the uranium mining market in Kazakhstan were the very ones - the French Orano and the Canadian Cameco. In 1996, they got the fattest spots.

French Orano SA is officially 45% owned by the French authorities. However, taking into account the redemption of shares by her bankrupt predecessor Areva SA, as well as the CEA established by the government, the state share can reach 90%.

Why is it so important? Because more than 70% of the power industry in France is nuclear. Moreover, against the backdrop of the energy crisis in Britain, Germany, Italy in 2021, the French dramatically increased the sale of electricity to their neighbors. The African uranium mining market contains too many risks, last year one of the two mines in Niger closed, so it is much easier for the French to work with Kazakhstan! But in 2017, the Kazakhs revised the terms of cooperation with Orano until 2039. And the most interesting thing is that from 2022 the share of Kazatomprom's profit will increase to 60% with an annual production of over 4 thousand tons. uranium at the Moinkum deposit.

A similar revision of the terms of cooperation affected the Canadian Cameco. Since 18, the share of Kazatomprom in the joint venture Inkai has increased from 40 to 60%. Cameco, to placate the Kazakhs, promised to build a refinery in the east of the country, but the project remained in words. After all, Cameco has experienced difficult times in recent years due to the decline in uranium prices. And only in the last year, when the price went up, Cameco began to look more confidently into the future. Oh yes! I forgot to mention, Cameco is one of the main suppliers of uranium in North America, and about a quarter of its production goes to Western Europe.

Simply put, the constant instability in Kazakhstan, the redistribution of power and the revision of legislation (as we see in Ukraine) would be an incredible gift for Western countries and their energy sector. Both in terms of its own welfare and as a lever of pressure on China, which plans to increase the number of its nuclear reactors from 53 now to 110 by 2030 (Kazakhstan was a strategic partner in this regard). Incredible benefit for the West, and only on the topic of uranium!

Just think how many coincidences ...

[Orange bigg]

All Kazakhs, but fights and fights between them happen, and this is already a bell. And not everyone is happy with Nazarbayev's attempts to build a secular Kazakhstan with its capital in Nur-Sultan.

I was in Kazakhstan on March 24, 2019 for football. The Russian national team won the home team 4: 0. So, football in Astana was a real extreme. For example, around me, first at the entrance, then on the podium, Kazakhs fought. Not just a scuffle, but the Russian girl, who was not clear how she ended up there, had to be put on a chair next to her, just in case. So she outlined the reason for the fights: Kazakhs who do not speak Russian hate their fellow citizens who speak this language in everyday life. If the attitude towards the Russians is such that they are not rushed with fists, then within the national majority, relations are quite tense, and all this against the background of terrible poverty and a number of unpopular reforms of the Elbasy, which he carried out while still in power.

... Even Astana itself, and in March 2019, after the resignation of Nazarbayev, already Nur-Sultan, looks like just a provincial province, if you move at least 50 meters from the center. Is it any wonder that there are sheds near the national stadium and the Barys ice arena, in which, in front of the police driven into football, they sell fake vodka?

At the same time, Nur-Sultan itself looks lifeless, and taxi drivers are advised to go to Alma-Ata to get to know Kazakhstan and the mood of the people better.

... This is one of the reasons for the protests and lies precisely in the impoverishment and unsuccessful transfer of the capital for the people. Although, as we can see, the transfer of the capital turned out to be a real gift for the authorities.

Actually, it is not surprising that it is Alma-Ata that has just pulled away. Remember what triggered the protest in Khabarovsk? Transfer of the capital of the Far Eastern Federal District to Vladivostok. There is also a speech about the transfer of the capital to Akmola, in which at the time of Nazarbayev's decision 287 thousand people lived. Only then did it become Astana, and in March 2019 - Nur-Sultan.

True, offense should not be put in the first place. After all, during this time, the population has changed in Alma-Ata. Those who are more successful left to pursue a career in Nur-Sultan or Russia. They were replaced by the so-called mambets, that is, rural youth who grew up in the steppe, migrants of the first generation. They live in communities, so there is no problem getting together with the Internet disconnected. In addition, their families, as a rule, have many children, and education is replaced by faith and the Koran. Very young mambets, 20-25 years old, became the basis of the protests.

So the protests in Kazakhstan have a significant difference from the Ukrainian Maidan or the Belarusian protests in 2020. Not only by the protesters' aggression and the behavior of the security forces (by the way, they are based on the same poor, to put it mildly, mambets, so they do not show harshness).

If in Ukraine and Belarus the protesters talked about the European choice, then in Kazakhstan, on the contrary, the young and religious population wants archaism, and they demolish the monuments to Nazarbayev because he is too secular, and besides, he is corrupt. The wealth of the elbasy is indeed a very hot topic for discussion among the poor, including the religious. Besides, adherents of Islam do not like its cult of personality.

By and large, both Nazarbayev and Tokayev flirted with the nationalists, introducing the Latin alphabet or turning a blind eye to the "language patrols". In recent years, informal oppression of the Russian-speaking population has increased in scale. But this was not enough for the Mambets, they need a Turkic-speaking religious Kazakhstan.

You know, if they honestly lured me ... Parents left in 97th, I a year later. And the financial component played a major role. To make it clear, I was on my way to Kaliningrad. And in Germany there are relatives. But, I can honestly say, I would not have been able to integrate. It is very difficult to study the Kazakh language)) But there are still a lot of Russians in Alma-Ata. It so happened, I studied in 3 schools and keep in touch with my classmates. Minimum 50% from each class in Almaty. All families, who are already grandparents.
Alma-Ata, in general, was a specific city. It was divided by youth groups into so-called "districts" with serious criminal overtones. Therefore, it was not an option for a 14-year-old boy to walk around the city. Quite a serious school of life. But there were "concepts" and if you "fumbled" there was a chance to hang out ...
By the mid-90s, it was gone, because the aul went and chaos began. And they simply did not know such a concept as a "concept" ...

For some reason, everyone - they forget about such a neighboring country as China .. But it is obvious - the PRC under no circumstances would allow Kazakhstan to lie under the West or under the barmaley. Too much is tied up - this is Xinjiang across the border, and the Great Silk Road, and raw materials, and transit gas pipelines from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan .. If we hadn’t interfered, there would have been Chinese special forces there. They have already affectionately hinted:

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, in which the PRC occupies a leading position, made an important statement: "We recognize the timeliness of the measures taken by the leadership of the Republic of Kazakhstan to normalize the situation in the country and establish a peaceful dialogue within the framework of the constitutional and legal field."

Moreover, the SCO regional anti-terrorist structure has expressed its readiness to provide emergency assistance if necessary. It should be understood this way: if the CSTO fails to put things in order (which is unlikely), China will do it. In any case, they made it clear to the terrorists that Beijing is ready to fight for its multi-billion dollar investments.
