Because the BBC is a propaganda organ for the UK.
- schleck8 5y agoWeird, because Al Jazeera phrased it identically. Also a propaganda organ for the west?
- rad_gruchalski 5y agoIt would be better to link to the report from Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/kazakh-president-says-constitutional-order-has-mostly-been-restored-2022-01-07/ https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/kazakh-president-... which contains this crucial information: "The militants have not laid down their arms, they continue to commit crimes or are preparing for them. The fight against them must be pursued to the end. Whoever does not surrender will be destroyed," President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said in a televised address. "I have given the order to law enforcement agencies and the army to shoot to kill without warning."

- sedan_baklazhan 5y agoThis phrase is an excellent piece of straightforward propaganda. Completely made up, but also quite touching.
- rad_gruchalski 5y agoYou just make things up as you go. What do you expect to happen to people who steal weapons from looted police stations and shoot at the army and state forces? Do you really believe that Western states would deal with this in any other way? Do you remember what happened after 2005 London bombings? Do you remember how the police in Brussels dealt with Paris attackers? Do you think 6th of Jan 2021 would look different if the mob opened fire at the police?
- Mikeb85 5y agoAl Jazeera is an outlet for the Muslim world. Sometimes their interests lie with the west, sometimes not. In general they are anti-Russian though, as Russia has been fighting Islamic militants for years (often ones armed by the US and Islamic nations).
- tsol 5y agoThe Muslim world stretches from Africa, through the Baltic states, through the Middle east and into Asia. Most of them couldn't even read it easily. Al Jazeera belongs only to Qatar, it's not an outlet for all Muslims who make up 25% of the world's population
- Guessnotgauss 5y agoJust cause they are Muslim dosent make them Islamic militants. "For years" implies Chechen forces fighting for independence, which has nothing to do with the West or the US. Russia has crushed any autonomy from any minority, Muslim or otherwise. Dont frame it like the war on terror, that would be dishonest.
- sedan_baklazhan 5y agoDoes this "fight for independence" thing really include blowing bombs in subway, taking children hostages, blowing up airplanes, etc etc etc? Or it only does if it involves Russia?
