This presentation analyzes the dynamics which led to the 2010 overthrow of the Kyrgyz President, explains how these protests differed from the 2005 events and examines the process and causes of the subsequent ethnic protests and killings. The talk will also discuss the international communities response and what it may mean for US, Russia or EU strategy in the region. Dr. Kevin D. Jones is an Assistant Professor at Georgetown University and a Research Scholar at the Center for International Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM). He has been a Non-Resident Fellow at the Brookings Institution, an IREX Fellow in Central Asia and a Guest Fellow at the Moscow office of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Dr. Jones has experience in researching, implementing and managing projects on civil conflict, crisis response, political transition, and economic development throughout the United States, Central Asia, Caucasus, Russia, and Ukraine. The majority of his research and publications have examined the key components and dynamics of civil violence in order to effectively prevent and respond to violent conflict. Dr. Jones is an expert on Central Asia and specifically Kyrgyzstan. He lived in Kyrgyzstan for almost five years working with Peace Corps and USAID and is working on a book tentatively titled "The Dynamics of Political Protests" about the 2005 Kyrgyzstan Tulip Revolution.

The Central Asian republic of Kyrgyzstan has its own unique brand of Islam. Now, it has opened its doors to more fundamentalist strains of the religion.

Over the past decade, the country has become a testing ground for Islamic missionaries of all kinds. Some of them have less in common with each other than they do with Jews or Christians. Kyrgyz people converted to Islam in the 17th century but they were never over-zealous about their faith.

Red Cross Red Crescent helps vulnerable women in Kyrgyzstan In Kyrgyzstan, there are many issues making women vulnerable, such as crippling poverty, lack of education and forced marriages. There are increased levels of domestic violence, rising numbers of women turning to prostitution, as well as many being trafficked for sex to keep their families fed. However, a Kyrgyzstan Red Crescent programme is providing a lifeline for many women facing desperate situations, helping improve their social and economic positions. Since this video was produced legislation has been passed in Kyrgyzstan that requires marriages conducted in all religious traditions to be officially registered in order to be valid. Find out more about how the Red Crescent society of Kyrgyzstan and the British Red Cross are helping at www.redcrescent.kg/women and www.redcross.org.uk/Kyrgyzstan.
