Some more info I found on reddit:
"This is a sad and glorious day for my country. The police opened live fire on the crowd that my grandmother was in she is still in shock and there is nothing I can do cause I am in the US. I am not surprised since the Kyrgyz government basically built personal mansions in Europe using aid funds while the people suffered food shortages and no heating during the coldest winter in years."
"Do you know what the 'flash point' was that set this off though?"
"Bakiev's(former presidents) son is basically a renowned mobster and was given a high position in the government. Imagine Obama's sister or brother going into the treasury everyday and taking out bars of gold on a daily basis while people around him are wearing 20 year old shoes. That is what set it off. Also anyone who minded the mobster connection were all killed for even mentioning the word "funds are mismanaged" or "government doesn't report GDP"."
