Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev called on a Russian-led military force to help end the protests.

Cities in Kazakhstan appear to have regained some of their composure, following days of violent protests sparked by rising oil prices.

The issue has long fueled public outcry over inequality, corruption, and the lack of democracy in the former Soviet Union.

The government called the protesters “terrorists” and asked a Russia-led military alliance to help resolve conflicts.

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev thanked Vladimir Putin of Russia for sending 2,500 troops from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

On Friday, Tokayev ordered Kazakh troops to take action shooting without warning to end global conflicts.

So, what good will Moscow do if I take action?

So what is happening now to the calls of the Kazakh people to change politics?
