Russian troops to quit Kazakhstan, says president, taking aim at the elite

23 Sept 06:19 Key points summarised by AI

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced that Russian-led forces would begin withdrawing in two days, confirming stability after recent widespread unrest.
Tokayev sharply criticized wealthy associates of his predecessor, Nursultan Nazarbayev, demanding they 'pay their dues' and share their wealth to address public discontent over income inequality.
The president also condemned security officials for abandoning their posts and failing to act properly during the unrest, leading to the arrest of the former National Security Committee head.
These actions, including appointing a new government, signal Tokayev's efforts to consolidate power and distance himself from Nazarbayev's legacy amidst what he termed an attempted coup.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
