Surviving Kyrgyzstan unrest
As people in Kyrgyzstan are still reeling from the violence that has taken place in their country Alisher Khamidov, who is an ethnic Uzbek, describes what it was like when he arrived in the south just as the clashes started. He tells Matthew how the unrest could even come between him and his Kyrgyz girlfriend.
