This week we take a look at the aftermath of recent unrest in Kazakhstan, key figures from the Nazarbayev regime being forced out, a Russian withdrawal, Uzbekistan cutting gas to China, Tahskents new deal with the Taliban, talk of closing Turkmenistan's gate to hell, new lockdowns, a jazz musician being arrested in Krygyzstan, and an MMA fighting in political trouble in Tajikistan.

We also cover what the protests will mean for the future of Kazakhstan going forward. Joining us this week. - Peter Leonard (Eurasianet) Follow the show on @SLonCentralAsia For more info please visit - www.oxussociety.org Presented by the Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs
