KZBlog is going down (2)
After some thought, I have decided not to renew KZBLog’s lease. As you may have noticed, I don’t do a lot of posting here anymore. I don’t have time to blog regularly. Thus I am taking the site down–it does generate some ad revenue but not as much as it costs to keep it up. […]

A Peace Corps volunteer in Kyzylorda is raising money for books for his students at the Kyzylzhar Secondary School. Check out his fundraising page for details and screenshots of the current textbooks they are trying to replace.
More Bombings (10)
This is very disturbing as two bombs went off in Atyrau. Credit was taken by the heretofore unknown Jund al-Khilafah (Knights of the Caliphate) group. The name makes them sound like they want to create some kind of Muslim state/caliphate. But so far all anyone seems to know about them is that they had earlier released a video stating that if the new religion law in Kazakhstan wasn’t repealed, there would be violence. That makes this non-expert suspect that they are a Central Asia based group. One wonders if they are really to blame for these bombings or are just taking credit for a convenient coincidence.
In any case, this is extremely disturbing news to those of us who always saw Kazakhstan as a peaceful country. While I certainly am not surprised that the new law ruffled feathers, I wouldn’t have wished this terror on anyone. The only good news is that thus far, the bombings seem to be aimed at getting attention and frightening people but not hurting anyone.
