Residents of the Kazakh city of Zhanaozen once again took to the streets.
According to the Orda Telegram channel, the oil workers started the protest action. Those gathered at the bus station demanded higher wages and improved working conditions. Employees of four Ozenmunaigas enterprises took part in the strike.
Then other citizens joined the action. They expressed dissatisfaction with the “injustice of a rotten system” and also lamented that the peaceful January rallies in Zhanaozen escalated into riots across the country.
In addition, the protesters called on the government to “stop torturing innocent youth” and release detained minors and demanded political change.
Last week, unemployed residents of the “city of oil workers” Zhanaozen recorded a video message to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev demanding that promising jobs be created in the oil industry.
Only according to official data, there are several thousand unemployed in the city.
Recall that it was in Zhanaozen that mass protests began in January, which were spurred by a sharp rise in prices for liquefied gas.
