It’s certainly the trigger, and the situation is dire, inflation is sky high in many developing nations. If we aren’t seeing Arab Springs springing everywhere it’s because of covid and restriction (either self or state imposed). As for Kazakhstan, well there’s Chinese, Russian, Turkey and even British as foreign elements. IMO the more plausible reason was the president (Mr Tokaev, aka Number 2 in power) ousting the “Kolbasy” (Mr Nursumbaev, aka First President) who expected the power sharing agreement to give him and his family both protection and relevance over politics forever.
