"Kyrgyzstan Seeks Russian Help to Quell Unrest"

“Kyrgyzstan Seeks Russian Help to Quell Unrest”
The quell that is happening in this international conflict includes two groups of different political followers and two groups of different ethnicities. It’s funny not to think of these two groups as a reflecting mirror that is happening between the political binary in the United States. But, before venturing into that perspective it is imperatively, important that we remember the context of cultural, historical and structural elements involved. We must also remember to take perceptions tentatively as to not allow engraved stereotypes to block ethical observations.
The quell happening between these two parties consist of those who support the rejected president, Kurmanbek S. Bakiyev against those who support the new president, Roza Otunbayeva. It is not safe to say that the quells in the United States and that of around the surrounding Russian parts, but it is safe to say that the quells are similar. There are only two sides. The difference that seems to rise betwixt the US and Russian cultures is the different elements combined in their ethnic differences.“ The Uzbek Foreign Ministry said in a statement that violence against Uzbeks was being carried out in a manner calculated to provoke ethnic conflict” (Michael Schwirtz, New York Times).
It has been reported that a total of “six people died…[and] nearly 1,000 people had been wounded, mostly by gunshots” (Yelena K.Bayalinova, New York Times) in these heated riots. A government attempt as a professional intermediary enacted permission upon police and military to take open fire amongst the protestors to prevent attacks on each other and governmental buildings. The ethics of these actions seem very ass backwards. In an attempt to cure conflict that had opportunity to be properly mediated, destructive approaches were instead considered in the resolution. My ability to think further on both sides of government and disputant runs dry. How are bombs and guns going to protect any civilians if there are two sides and everyone is fighting? How are the rippling explosions of military infantry going to protect the welfare of governmental buildings and innocence?
My attempt to use comparisons in order further understand the situation becomes de-motivated due to the realization that I have not the experience nor the cultural, historical, and structural elements of these, now, three groups in conflict. It is my western culture that leads me to find a conflict like this, as an opportunity to seek out socials by integrating our ideas in order to find a fair solution. It is my lens that is in strong support of democracy versus another kind of government. Religion is believed to run deep. So deep and so common, in fact, the possibility of people considering Russia’s current conflict as something natural since the hatred originally stemmed from ancestral history. In my own love for “Intercultural Communications in Contexts” by Judith Martin and Thomas Nakayama it would be in the voice of my perceptions that it would be wise for these groups to gain a mediator. This mediator can therefore take these two groups through the steps of entering a potentially more effective way of conflict. This process would be done completely different of my elemental conflicts (affection, interest, values, perceptions, and goals).
