기르기스탄의 民族 분쟁

Ethnic attacks in Kyrgyzstan 기르기즈스탄의 民族 분쟁

2010 년 6월 18 일 금요일

1 주일 전, 무기와 화염병를 든 젊은 키르기즈 남자들이 키르기즈스탄 남부의 일부에서 광폭한 행동을

하며 이웃의 우주벡 민족을 공격하고,집과 상점을 불지르고, 보도에 따르면 우즈벡 주민을 구타, 강간,

살해하고 있다고 한다. 공식적인 사망자 수는 당국이 발표한 숫자 보다 10 배인 200 명 이상 이다.공격

이 여러 날 계속되고,폭력을 피해 달아나는 대규모 행렬 - 약 400,000 우즈벡인들이 지난 한 주 동안에

 그 지역을 피해 대 도시나 우즈벡 국경을 향하고 있다.정확히 공격을 유발하는 게 무엇인지 또는 

정확히 폭력집단의 배후가 누구인지가 불분명하다.최근의 충성파들이 구성한 키르기즈스탄의 임시

정부-공격의 배후였던 전 대통령 바키예프를 물러나게 했다.최근의 폭력은 수그러드는 것 같지만,

그들 자신이 스스로를 방어하고 우즈벡이 그들의 이웃을 못 들어오게 하는 불안정성은 기르키즈스탄에서

 여전히 남아 있다.

Beginning one week ago, thousands of young Kyrgyz men rampaged through parts of southern Kyrgyzstan

 with weapons and torches, attacking ethnic Uzbek neighborhoods, burning homes and stores, and,

according to reports, beating, raping and killing Uzbek residents. The official death toll is over 200, though

officials have indicated it may be ten times that number. The attacks lasted for several days, setting off a

massive rush to flee the violence - an estimated 400,000 Uzbeks fled the region in the last week, heading to

larger cities or the Uzbekistan border. It remains unclear exactly what instigated the attacks, or who exactly

was the organizing force behind them. Kyrgyzstan's interim government suggested loyalists of recently-

deposed former president Bakiyev were behind the attacks. Though the recent violence seems to have 

ebbed, instability remains in Kyrgyzstan, with Uzbeks barricading their neighborhoods and taking

 their defense into their own hands. (40 photos total)
