Violence in the south of Kyrgyzstan seems to be growing worse, with at least 100 people now reported dead, mostly in the cities of Osh and Jalaabad.

Meanwhile, both the USA and Britain will probably start evacuating non-essential consular staff and other citizens from the country shortly. Voice of America, The Telegraph
