Powerful ex-leader Nazarbayev is main target of Kazakhs' anger
Nursultan Nazarbayev, stripped on Wednesday of his role as head of Kazakhstan's powerful Security Council amid violent street protests, has dominated his vast oil-producing Central Asian nation since before the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Some protesters have chanted slogans against the 81-year-old former president during days of unrest https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/kazakhstan-government-resigns-after-violent-protests-over-fuel-price-2022-01-05 triggered by a fuel price rise that on Wednesday brought the Cabinet's resignation.
Despite quitting the presidency in 2019 and bequeathing power to a hand-picked successor, Nazarbayev remained the real power in the land. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev announced in a televised address on Wednesday that he would now head the State Security Committee but made no mention of Nazarbayev, who has not been seen or heard from for days.
Nazarbayev ruled Kazakhstan with an iron hand for nearly three decades, attracting hundreds of billions of dollars of foreign investment in the energy and metal sectors and skilfully balancing ties with powerful neighbours Russia and China.
In 2010 he was given the title "Leader of the Nation" after parliament granted him immunity from prosecution and the right to shape policy even after retirement.
He also built a new capital in the northern steppes, Astana, later renamed Nur-Sultan in his honour.
