Members of the Kyrgyz special forces block a street during clashes near Kyrgyzstan's former president residence between his supporters and law enforcement, in the village of Koy-Tash, some 20 kilometres from Bishkek on August 8, 2019. Kyrgyzstan's former president was detained in a major security operation on August 8, 2019, police said, a day after clashes between his supporters and law enforcement left one dead and dozens injured. The Central Asian state, which has seen two revolutions in less than two decades, is on the brink of crisis amid a standoff between ex-leader Almazbek Atambayev and his protege-turned-foe President Sooronbai Jeenbekov.
