Kyrgyzstan election: prime minister resigns after result invalidated amid protests
Decision follows protests that left one dead and nearly 600 injured
A violent protest in the wake of elections in Kyrgyzstan has left the country in political turmoil, with opposition forces declaring themselves in charge and the president clinging on to power but largely absent. Street clashes on Monday night left one person dead and hundreds injured. It was not clear on Tuesday who, if anyone, was in charge of the country.
The Kyrgyz health ministry said one person was killed and nearly 600 injured during the night of protest on Monday in the capital, Bishkek, and other cities. Cars were burned across the centre of town, while there appeared to be looting taking place inside the parliament building. Police used teargas and stun grenades.
