This is a translation of Mirsulzhan’s post.

There were only about two or three thousand people on a meeting. The majority came from other cities and did not understand the oppositions’ demands.

One adult man came from the Bakai-atinski district of Talas region. He was dressed in a warm coat, covered with the flags of Ata-Meken party. He explained that “he heard there will be shooting, and wore old clothes so that the new ones do not get dirty”.

The leaders of the opposition are sayong that there were more than 50 thousand people on the square, in fact, there were only two-three thousand.

The opposition has demonstrated its inability to organise big protests. The participants were sleeping in the military tents, complaining that they were not being fed. Though those from Kemin were being fed in the nearby cafe, the rest were given several “lepeshkas” and mineral water. Even this was difficult to get - the protesters got in a fight.

Temir Sariev, the leader of the opposition came to help, the protesters blamed him for not feeding them. It is not known what was Sariev’s answer, but people were dissatisfied. “Only bread and water?”, exclaimed some, “what did they promise?”.

Another problem in the organisation of the protests - the night lodging. There are about 30 tents on the square, and the same amount of the yurts. However, there are few mattresses, and there was another fight for getting them. It is not clear how will the people sleep.

All the participants look tired, sleepy, listen to the speeces without any interest. It confirms that the didn’t pursue an “idea” when they came here.

The central square is full of garbage: bottles, newspapers, other things.
