Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Monday fired the governor and police chief of a region where deadly clashes killed 10 and wounded more than a hundred others, replacing them with senior officials.
The clashes are widely believed to have pitted Kazakhs, the majority ethnic group, against minority Dungans, a Muslim people. The violence prompted thousands to flee across the nearby border with Kyrgyzstan.His replacement Berdibek Saparbayev has served as deputy prime minister and was earlier appointed head of a government commission investigating the violence.
The conflict escalated from what the interior ministry described as a “group fight” involving no more than 70 people. Police said they had contained the violence by Saturday evening.
