Anna Officially Supports Kyrgyzstan's New Gov't.

In a vote taken in her bedroom this morning, Anna Baker voted to support the new Kyrgyz government. Her thoughts go out to the people of Kyrgyzstan, and she hopes one day the spirit of Manas will again fill the land.

Meetings and Rallies in Kyrgyzstan...

As measured by the number of political meetings, marches, and rallies, I'm not sure there's anyplace in the world more democratic than Kyrgyzstan currently... For a country of only five million people, it seems to host multiple, competing, and -- mostly -- peaceful rallies just about every day. Here's a quick sampling of a few rallies in Bishkek over the last few weeks...

Here's a picture of Roza Otunbayeva, the country's interim President, addressing a pro-government youth rally. Verdict: positive energy, good turnout.

Marchers on the loose. Peaceful, but tense, since their political opponents (waving blue flags) were already occupying the main square...



"No to provocations!" reads the banner.


The Social Democratic Party, led by its firebrand Chairman, Mr. Atanbayev, is already out in force.



At a united, multi-party memorial to mark the end of the 40 day mourning period following the April 6-7 massacre, religious leaders open the session with prayers.



This little girl doesn't seem too sure about her political allegiances. Get with the program, sister!



Usually, these rallies will have a few "yurts" (these big felt tents that Kyrgyz nomads traditionally live in) set up, in order to dispense food, or to give people a place to rest or pray or whatever.







OK, I'm guessing you're all complaining now: "Pictures are so...static. Bring us some video!" OK, well, I aim to please, so here are some moving pictures (with sound!)





Rallying to the cause...
