This week we take a look at the
Kazakh state clawing millions back from associates of former
president Nazarbayev, Canada finally stepping aside in the Kumtor
Gold mine case, a Kyrgyz kingpin detained on extortion charges, a
president daughter fighting to have her assets unfrozen, the Uzbek
power grid on the brink of collapse, Tajik women returning from the
war in Syria, Dushanbe stepping up their controls on the nations
independent press, and a meeting of the five central Asian leaders
leading to a regional divide on what to do about Russia. We also
sit down with an expert to discuss the recent almost doubling of
the Kazakh military budget, and what this may mean for the country
going forward?
