Although violence pitting the Kyrgyz majority against the ethnic Uzbek minority has subsided, Uzbeks in the south of the nation are now being attacked by security forces. Under the excuse of investigating ethnic clashes, police are reportedly "rounding up Uzbeks and subjecting them to beatings and other abuses." Observers fear this could "further inflame hostilities and possibly provoke new clashes."
Cry out to the Lord on behalf of this nation.
Pray for Him to establish peace between warring groups, and bring forgiveness and reconciliation.
Pray for the healing of Kyrgyzstan – politically, ethnically, and spiritually.
Ask the Lord to deliver the Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, and every other people group from the dominion of darkness and lead them into the Kingdom of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Intercede for our Brothers and Sisters as they face violence and persecution.
Ask the Lord to give them boldness and use them to proclaim the Gospel throughout Kyrgyzstan.
