Hoy es el Día del Defensor de la Patria de #Kazajistán / #Kazakhstan, así que lo celebramos con un hilo sobre este país, cuna de las manzanas, con la mayor estación aeroespacial del mundo, una capital ridícula que homenajeaba al (ex) líder y (casi) nada de Borat 🇰🇿 ImageImageImageImage
Empecemos por el final: la capital se llama Akmola. En realidad se llama Astaná. Y también se llamó Nur-sultán. Pero Nursultán es un tipo, el de la foto. Y era también una ciudad. Esta ciudad, con pirámides y cosas doradas, como de Supersónicos 👇

¿Cómo llegamos a esto? ImageImageImageImage
Kazajistán era un kanato heredero de la Horda Dorada, esos mongoles-túrquicos que alguna vez invadieron Moscú. Ya en esa época el islam era la religión predominante.

Para mediados del siglo XIX pasó a ser parte del Imperio Ruso, igual que casi toda Asia Central. ImageImageImage

URGENTLY! ATTACK ON THE SON OF DINAR EGEUBAYEVA

On the night of February 4-5, 2023, #journalist Dinara #Egeubayeva reported that an armed attack (with a pistol) had been committed on her son.
The son of Dinara Egeubayeva is a citizen of a member state of the #EuropeanUnion.
2/7
This attack is connected not only with the self-nomination of Dinara Egeubayeva as a deputy to the Mazhilis from a single-mandate district in #Almaty, but also with her consistent and fair criticism of #Tokayev, interviews with victims of torture in January 2022,

and the requirements of an international investigation into the January executions and #torture.
