ABC News News HomeToll rises in Kazakh unrestShare Toll rises in Kazakh unrestTopic:Unrest, Conflict and War Workers in Zhanaozen and other cities in the region have been on strike for months for higher wages. (AFP: Anatoly Ustinenko ) Link copiedShareShare articleFifteen people have died in clashes in Kazakhstan's oil-rich Mangistau region, prosecutors said on Sunday, in a blow to a nation that prides itself on years of stability. One person was killed and 11 were wounded in fresh violence on Saturday when protesters blocking a passenger train clashed with police in the village of Shetpe, general prosecutor Nurdaulet Suindikov said in a statement. Those riots followed violence in the city of Zhanaozen, in the same western region, on Friday, when police and laid-off oil workers clashed during the country's independence day celebrations. Workers in Zhanaozen and other cities in the region have been on strike for months for higher wages. On Sunday prosecutors raised the toll from the clashes Zhanaozen to 14. The unprecedented riots forced Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev to declare a 20-day state of emergency in Zhanaozen, a blow to a government which prides itself on attracting foreign investors. Authorities said on Sunday they had the situation in both towns under control. "The situation in Zhanaozen is gradually becoming normal," Mr Suindikov said. "The situation in the village of Shetpe has stabilised." On Saturday, a group in Shetpe, about 100 kilometres from the regional centre Aktau, stopped a train with more than 360 passengers in a show of support for the protesters in Zhanaozen, prosecutors said. Some 50 people ignored police calls to disperse, set the train on fire and proceeded to vandalise the village, authorities said. "Police were forced to open fire," killing one person, a prosecutors' statement said. Officials led by Mr Nazarbayev dismissed the rioters as "hooligans," alleging they had been paid to destabilise the region and attack peaceful residents. Kyrgyzstan-based opposition channel K-Plus claimed on Sunday that the violence was sparked when police drove a bus into a crowd of protesting oil workers in Zhanaozen to disperse their sit-in. It claimed about 70 people were killed and 500 wounded. These figures could not be independently confirmed as many information sites remain blocked and Zhanaozen was in a virtual lockdown. The town has been cut off from the rest of the country, with phones disconnected, and authorities blocking the main road and performing identity checks. Some observers have suggested that the riots in Zhanaozen might have been instigated by the authorities themselves. "It could be in the interests (of the authorities) because for seven months they have been irritated by people standing on the square and not leaving," the leader of opposition group Alga Vladimir Kozlov said in remarks broadcast on the opposition K-Plus television channel. "They have tried everything short of poisoning people, but they are still striking," he said. Kazakhstan was the last of 15 Soviet republics to declare its independence from the fading Soviet Union, on December 16, 1991. Its vast energy reserves are hugely attractive for neighbouring energy-hungry China as well as for the West, which is keen to reduce Europe's dependence on Russian hydrocarbons. Kazakhstan said earlier this year it had hired former British prime minister Blair as a consultant to attract new investment, on a contract reportedly worth millions of dollars.

by the Prime Minister of RK Alikhan Smailov measures to eliminate illegal dumps were considered Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Yerlan Nyssanbayev Akim of Abay region Nurlan Urankhaev made reports on this issue identified in 2022 spontaneous dumpsites are not fully eliminated and the elimination amounted to 77% The largest number was identified in Akmola region - 830 Weak work on elimination was carried out in Abay Abay and Mangystau regions show weak work on elimination - only 16% each Only last Thursday the level of elimination was 44% (2475 objects) "The main reasons for the formation of unauthorized dumps are the handling of municipal and construction waste which shows weak work on the part of akimats as well as low control over compliance with the requirements for the management of construction waste on the part of educators," said the Minister of Ecology To prevent the formation of unauthorized dumps the Ministry of Ecology has taken a number of measures at the legislative level:  There is the necessary competence of akimats for the development of infrastructure in this area in particular for the provision of land plots connection of infrastructure (water supply and drainage development of measures and economic instruments provision of preferences to business entities conclusion of public-private partnership agreements "Work is underway to put into pilot operation the information system of the Ministry of Ecology to display the movement of garbage collection equipment using GPS sensors it is planned to put into commercial operation next year a pilot project has already been implemented in Shymkent in real time we see the movement of 42 garbage collection vehicles: from waste collection sites to places of their disposal," said the Minister.  akimats need to ensure the connection of waste disposal organizations to work in the information system the Ministry of Ecology has developed a joint order with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan to curb illegal waste disposal under which joint mobile groups conduct raids aimed at identifying the facts of illegal transportation of waste about 63 thousand administrative offenses were revealed one of the reasons for the formation of spontaneous dumps is unauthorized landfills the issue of construction of new landfills without feasibility studies for the population of up to 50 thousand people has been resolved This will save budget funds and reduce the time of construction of landfills.  Realizing that the existing measures are insufficient the Ministry of Ecology is working on the following measures: "At meetings with industry associations in the field of waste management the weak work of akimats and the need for material and technical equipment of the regions are noted Together with our subordinate organization we plan to strengthen the work in this direction and the adoption of appropriate amendments to the environmental legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan I want to note that the subordinate organization was sent requests to akimats on the need for infrastructure but not all akimats presented quality information," the speaker said.   According to the analysis of the submitted information formed a preliminary pool of several projects for sorting processing and disposal of waste in the amount of about 38 billion tenge (Astana Given that the adoption of amendments to the sectoral legislation may be delayed indefinitely in order to prioritize the use of recycling payments for ecology it is proposed to consider the possibility of financing projects by analogy with preferential car loans through a government decree.  For the development of the industry it is necessary to understand the current situation on the ground which reflect actual volumes of generated waste and their growth trends available infrastructure and the need for it This program will allow potential investors to assess the capabilities of the regions the Ministry of Ecology has approved methodological recommendations for the development of Programs For today only Aktobe city has approved the mentioned Program where the document mentions Uralsk instead of Aktobe akimats should pay attention to the quality of environmental action plans being developed which include planning of expenditures of environmental payments for a three-year period akimats lay down measures to eliminate illegal dumps while there are no measures to prevent their formation elimination and prevention of spontaneous dumps requires more cardinal and decisive actions involving all stakeholders including central and local government agencies Akimats also need to establish close cooperation with public organizations and eco-activists to promptly identify spontaneous dumps and make consolidated decisions The Ministry of Ecology will continue to coordinate the sphere and interaction with akimats," summarized the Minister of Ecology Akim of Mangystau region Nurlan Nogaev reported on unauthorized dumps in the region 111 unauthorized dumps have been identified in Mangystau region since May 2023 dumps will be completely eliminated by November 30 this year.  "On the initiative of the Akimat of Mangystau region a special program on waste disposal and elimination of unauthorized dumps and quarries in Shetpe
