Kazakhstan has been gripped by unrest since 2 January 2022 sparked by a rise in the price for liquefied petroleum gas used for vehicles. On January 5, 2022, Kazakhstan's President Tokayev dismissed the cabinet, declared a two-week state of emergency over mass unrest in the country and asked the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) for assistance. On January 6, 2022, a counterterrorism operation to stop mass unrest began. (Photo by Valery Sharifulin/TASS)
