I hope that your country have peace, this situation is so sad please be safe and take care 🇲🇽🇰🇿

Hi, I’m from Iran. We had the same situation in Iran…I know how hurtful it is😔

Thank you for sharing your story. In México we are so happy to know that now Kazakhstan is safe and recovering. We will keep on praying for all your people and for your Goverment to be wise. Hugs from México and @Dimash México.

Thanks for the update. I started following you during this situation. The Kazakh people I know don't speak English so I had limited info. This breakdown helps. Im glad it's stable again. I visited a few years ago and loved it. Much love to Kazakhstan and I see prosperity in your future.

Lots of love from Turkey. We love you guys! Selam ve sevgiler❤️

I'm so glad that you are safe and your family too thank you for giving us an inside look May God bless you all.jim

Simplifying the situation and saying this is about liquified gas prices doesn't really seem fair. Yes, the protests started initially because of that but it is important to mention that people are tired and have been for a very long time. They are fed up with all the corruption and other problems caused by the government. The feeling of discontent has been there for a very long time. The liquified gas is more of a tipping point, which is why people continued protesting even after the government decided to reduce the prices again.

We are all concerned about the people of Kazakhstan. Stay safe, is the most important thing.

My wife imigrated to the USA from Almaty, Kazakhstan and she has some family still there. They say much the same as you did. Glad to see you're safe,

I’m Indonesian, and fell in love with anything about Ninety One. It brought me to have some Kazakh acquintances. Believe me all of them are nice and super kind. I never had more acquintances in one country but I have some of them in Kazakhstan. I cant wait to visit Almaty one day.

I can only imagine how terrifying that was to endure, but glad you and your family are safe. Your brother is a very good person. All the best from the USA 🇺🇸♥️🇰🇿

please stay safe, you are precious. ❤️

Glad to see you are ok and that things are going back to normal! I have a 8-day trip booked for Almaty in september and even after these events I still look forward to visiting your beautiful country. I hope everything will be peaceful from now on. I guess the pandemic could put a stop to the trip but let's hope not. All the best, from Sweden

i am watching your utube channel.. the fact is i fallen already to your country the way you show it..the beautiful people and nice culture and food..thdevelopment etc.. suddenly this thing happen unexpectedly i feel very sad and deep inside i cry..i llove kazahk people ..i hope everything goes well happy new year..

Thank you so much for the inside look.Please stay safe....All the best from the states♥️♥️♥️

I’ve visited Almaty and Tdk a few years ago and hearing the news about what’s happening truly broke my heart, also not reaching relatives and acquaintances who are still living there. I’m glad you and your family are safe! Hopefully they find out what happened and who‘s behind it soon. Stay strong and safe Salta, sending much love and strength from Germany! xx

So happy you and your loved ones are ok. Feeling really sorry for the poor people who were hurt or killed. We have been following these events closely in Belgium. Without going into politicus, it always starts with calm peaceful protests coming from a deep (often genuine) discontent but then thugs are joining to kill, robb and then comes the army basically not solving anything. It might be calm now but nothing has been solved. Wishing you the best and hoping to come to 🇰🇿 in 2023.

Glad that you, your family and friends are all ok. I kind of can understand how terrified you felt as I had a similar experience in my city back in 2019. May Kazakhstan regain her stability and a better/stronger country. I still intend to visit your beautiful country one day. 🥰

Was watching in Australia the rioting reported. Its looked so shocking. And unlike anything you had talked about in Almaty. Its so sad for people caught up in it. Hope things do genuinely settle & can ultimately find peaceful solutions. ✌

I am keeping Kazakhstan in my prayers. I wish the best for the country. I hope there are good solutions to keep the country on the path to thriving and reaching its full potential. Stay strong 💪🏼

I am happy you are safe! ❤️‍🩹🇰🇿

Пусть Казахстан скоро вернется к миру и покою. Молитвы ваших братьев в Индонезии.

Wishing you, your family and friends and everyone in Kazakhstan peace and safety. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. Stay safe Salta. Greetings from 🇨🇦

I was waiting for this video anxiously, i follow you but don't know you personally and i was so worry about your safety, also thinking if you had enough water and food to isolate at home. I can not imaging how terrifying this was and i felt powerless not being able to help but give you and dear people in KAZ some support and comforting words. Riots are the worst, some criminals and bad people unfortunately take advantage of this and terrible things happen. It is not just in KAZ but is happening all over the world, our world is in chaos and i urge you to prepare for emergency situations, always be prepared to minimize your stress while surviving something like this. To defend yourself get Bear spray (protect your eyes and nose while using it), is better than a weapon. I am very glad you and your friend are ok, i am very glad everything went to normal quickly. Thanks for the video :)

One of my best friends is from Kazahkstan and I couldn’t contact her at all (I only have her on social media and message apps) but she was finally able to answer my messages and she is okay + her family too. It must have been quite scary there. It was very sudden!

My husband’s father’s side of the family lives in Almaty and it was so scary hearing about people being shot in the streets and whatnot, especially since all of the internet was down and we couldn’t contact them through WhatsApp or anything. I’m so happy to hear that you are safe ♥️

I’m so sorry for your distressing situation. Hope you are safe.❤️

Thank you for the update!! I am glad that you are in good health and that things have now stabilized. It must have been very scary to go through that situation. Hopefully this will be the worst of the situation and things will improve. I do plan on visiting Almaty still sometime down the road. Thanks again and keep it up with the KZfaq videos!!

We are supporting our people in Kazakistan.

So Scary. I am so sorry. I hope you will be ok. Such a beautiful country and people.

Thank you so much for updating us!!! I was thinking of you during these events. Glad to see you alright 💙💙💪💪

I’m in Atyrau and we heard there was a huge protest in the main square here on January 4th. There had been previous protests over the Chinese buying up Kazakh land a few years ago, so We had no idea protests would spread across the entire country! It has been absolutely crazy here in Atyrau too and we also had five days with no internet. We are trying to get back to Almaty where I work but our flight got cancelled last Saturday because the airport in Almaty was closed down. We are in Atyrau at my wife’s mom’s apartment to celebrate Christmas and New Year and got stuck here. We were able to get a ticket back to Almaty finally for Jan. 18. I hope we can get back to Almaty!

great channel. Glad you and your community came together. I hope the best for the people of Kazahkstan

I’m really happy you and everything is safe again. I’m still coming out 🙏😍

wishing you the best and hoping for your safety

You are lucky to have such a caring brother.

Thank you for the in depth update. Salta. I saw a little bit of info on what was going on there. Glad your back 🙏

So glad to know that you and your family are OK, Salta.

Hi salta! I'm glad you're doing well! When it's serious protest, things can turn ugly really fast. I'm glad you were safe and hopefully things will turn out better in Kazakhstan too.

Thank you so much for the update. I thought about you and hoped you and your family and friends were safe. The situation seemed unexpected and unfortunate, but I've read that discontent has been brewing a while over issues you would be more familiar with than I am. Kazakhstan is such a beautiful and cultured country. I hope changes will be made to benefit all aspects of the population. We need some of the same over here in the US!

The dead from the riots at Kazakhstan are heroes, thanks for leading the next step. The movement must spread to the rest of the world, the WHOLE world. Humanity just had enough.

Thank you for sharing. It's always difficult to get someone's lived experience. I hope you are safe.

I hope everyone is okay and the issues get resolved soon. It would be so scary. 🇰🇿

Thank you for giving your day to day experience.

Glad to see you're doing alright, additionally I think for a lot of people this will give them a lot of information about what happened, I know for me it did. It was on the news in the US but I feel like it should have been more present than it was per se.

So glad you are safe .

It was very hard to communicate with my besties during this economic crisis, Internet we're ban but im glad things are back to normal 🇲🇾❤️🇰🇿

Hello Salta, I hope everything is ok over in Kazakhstan. Sending my love from New Zealand xx ❤️❤️

I'm glad to see that you came through everything OK.

🙏🔥🌎🗣️Praying!

I m also in almaty studying as medical student Really its a terrible situation when protest going on but hats off to the army for early control 📍📍📍

I wish peace for all of you

I'm so glad you were able to upload this video. I have been worried about you and your newly-married brother.

Kazakhstan very nice people Very good country Peace from Allah to Kazakhstan Greetings from Kuwait

We are all just glad that you are safe.

I can't imagine how terrifying that was for all of you specifically to the vulnerable (kids and older ones). but thanks to God you're safe. We saddened and praying for both citizens and leaders of you there. 🙏♥️ Peace for Kazahkstan 🤍 Long live Kazahkstan!!

Happy to see you again.

States are also like people, there is a time when every country, every states has ups and downs

I’m planning to visit Kazakhstan this summer, I hope everything will turn normal pretty quickly. The Country has huge potential as a tourist destination. The world just don’t know it yet 😊

I can't believe it happens Almaty, and I hope to come back to normal this tragedy that much hope stay safe

Glad to hear from you. I always enjoyed this channel and seeing life in another part of the world. Was worried about you (as worried as an internet stranger can be, parasocial stuff is weird). Hope you stay safe

I hope it gets way better for everyone soon.

I hope things can become better for the people of Kazakhstan. I don't trust the people in power, but maybe they are in a position, where actually doing their job would be best for them. It's a tragedy that so many people were injured and killed.

Glad to know you are safe, thanks for the update. Stay safe.

Please stay safe. 🙏 ❤️🥺

Hope every thing gets back to normal .

We would love to hear your OPEN and HONEST and CLEAR opinion about the government. Talk 100% freely about it. Would you do video about this? Or is that "dangerous" ?

Stay safe Salta, had great trip in Central Asia (including Almaty, Kazakhstan) several years ago - the ordinary people are amazing, never had so much free vodka in my life; the airport a different story - but that's another story

I am also in Almaty I went through same situation It was so violent 😢

Take care!

Stay safe sister

take care!

may allah take away the troubles of kazakhstan. From Pakistan🇵🇰 🤝🇰🇿

I Hope back to normal, Stay safe and salam from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇰🇿

Stay safe..Be praying for your country 🙏

It’s largely broadcasted in Japan. Stay safe Salta.

How dangerous is it? I want to study in Kazakhstan this spring

Hi Sultana. Do a video with that wonderful and caring brother of yours.

i hope your country is going to normal ..everything happen for a reason.. there is two kind of people in this world.. positive and negative..

How's the situation today in your city?

How's situation now?

Stay safe.

Thanks for the update. I have now taken Almaty off my travel wish list.i am guessing the problems are all related to tribalism-nepotism and corruption. The greed of the entitled and no consideration for the poor. Its the same in most countries. Take care and I hope you can get food!!

stay safe.

this is all russians dirty games.... Love and respect Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 ❤ 🇹🇷

I am very sad 😢 becauseThings are not going well in Kazakhstan.

V beautiful speech. From Pakistan🇵🇰

American here. I've been visiting my wife and daughter here in Almaty. We're about a 10-15 min walk from Republic Square and could certainly here the flashbangs and gunshots the first night and each night proceeding. From my POV this was the Coronavirus shut down of 2020 the BLM riots (and looting) and the January 6th attack on the US Capitol building all rolled into one. Thankfully for us most everything seemed to be contained to Republic Square as well as Abay Ave but a block north and a block south (most) everything seemed to be fine. I was surprised the small shops nearby were able to keep things in stock and keep a steady enough replenishment going. I think the larger Magnum and Ramstore grocers got slammed and closed. Thankfully no problems with Police and no problems with people pointing fingers at me as a foreigner. I don't know enough about the current policies to know if things will be changed for the better but let's hope for a little more calm on both sides going forward and less casualties.

Damn

Hello Salta we are so sorry for what happened to your country. Hope everything get back to peaceful normal day. Btw we are now making a content to share story about what truly happened in Kazakhstan and if you don't mind, we would like to insert some parts of your clip to our content. Thank you.

It must be awful living in a dictatorship. I hope to see freedom for Kazakhstan in my lifetime.

Aisholpan was a Eagle Huntress.

People r frustrated because of corrupt leader and corruption and also since Kazakhstan independent only party rule in ur country which is not good for democracy and also most of ur oil, gas, mineral ..etc control by Chinese and russian company , politician leader getting richer and people r suffering from poverty

Normally ,what is the rent of two bedrooms apartment in Almaty Kazakhstan??

what kind of regim is in kazahstan ? what about private proprety ? forasters can buy properties ?

I wanted to move to Kazakhstan and start a berry farm , then I read that Kazakhstan had passed a new law prohibiting foreigners from buying or leasing farm land . This was so unexpected all my plans were just gone . Now I see this and I think Kazakhstan is keeping out farmers but allowing murdering agent provocateurs in . I know my problems are nothing in comparison to what happened there , but it feels frustrating .

I hope the protesters prevail
