Video of the city of Osh, in southern Kyrgyzstan, posted on YouTube on Monday, showing security forces on the streets and some aid distribution.
As my colleague Michael Schwirtz reports from Kyrgyzstan, the southern city of Osh is mostly quiet on Monday morning, “after four days of violence left swaths of the country’s ethnically mixed south in ruins.”
Video showing the aftermath of deadly clashes between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbek citizens in and around Osh has been posted on YouTube and collected on the video-sharing service’s CitizenTube blog. Some of the images of dead or badly wounded people posted on the blog are very hard to watch.
This clip, posted within the past hour, seems to show security forces on the streets of the city on Monday:
The same YouTube channel also includes this video, apparently shot on Sunday, which has images of the city shot from the air during what looks like a helicopter patrol by the security forces:
The same user, jshekelman, had also uploaded another video on Saturday showing some of the damage done to buildings in the city:
This video, apparently shot on Saturday in Osh and uploaded to the Web by a user named Oshlik1206, shows a desperate scramble to get medical treatment for some of those wounded in the unrest:
Another YouTube channel, maintained by a user named IlhomDju, includes more images of the wounded, and this clip, apparently shot on a cellphone and uploaded on Saturday, shows burned-out buildings in the city:
