All you need to know about #Kazakhstan media environment in a single @Peter__Leonard #Havli bullet. Depressing and unnecessary.

Nice to see #Ghana sneak into the top 10 of the #WNG World Nomad Games medal table. 🇬🇭 Kyrgyzstan (1st) and Kazakhstan (2nd) mop up.

#Kazakhstan's Kurultai begins life as the country's unicameral legislature by banning journalists from doorstepping lawmakers. Regressive.

If you’re on the lookout for grassroots projects worth donating to, @shahitbiz deserves every penny/cent. Important scoop here on how ethnic Uyghur celebrities in China were potentially leveraged into participating in propaganda to whitewash #Xinjiang rights abuses.

Enjoy watching @varlamov but don't think his claim Kazakhstan is Central Asia's "epicenter" for domestic violence is helpful. It almost certainly isn't, and this will only encourage officials to shoot the messenger, as is already the case with #NeMolchikz youtube.com/watch?v=Atf6naxl…

Great infographic by data analyst Nurasyl Abdrazakuly (Linkedin) hinting at what the critical minerals rush will mean in money terms: very little. It's about geostrategy. Copper still king. NB Figure for gold would be much higher if 🇰🇿exported a meaningful share of production.

Activist @SerikzhanBilash says his sister + her husband arrested by Kazakh police at their home in the #Almaty region today. Bilash known for his work on #China's repressions in #Xinjiang. Sister not an activist but has supported Bilash's colleagues by attending their trial.(1/2)

I've got questions, but the Kazakh Dream©️sure looks better than the U.S. version... - Build railways with your school mates ✅ - Buy a mining company with your school mates ✅ - Buy a football club with your school mates ✅ - Have the mining company sponsor the football club🤟

не по мне 😀 Вот так лучше: youtube.com/watch?v=Jk7Ff9s2…
