Police officers confront demonstrators during a protest against fuel price increase in Almaty, Kazakhstan. A wave of protests against an increase in gas prices led to nationwide unrest earlier this week, leading to clashes with police, looting and overall insecurity in the country. Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev declared a state of emergency until January 19 and invited the Collective Security Treaty Organization peacekeeping forces to help bring the situation under control.
