Protests in Kyrgyzstan will not lead to...
Kyrgyzstan"s seven regions and whose power base is in the north of the country, said Bakiyev is trying to organize resistance in his power base in the south, where he has traditional support.Meanwhile, Akayev said that the south is not likely to back Bakiyev, whose rule has been marred by economic problems, high-profile murders, prison riots and disputes over the control of lucrative businesses.
"I think there will be no civil war. The south will not back Bakiyev, I do not think there is any resistance between the south and the north as the protest mood is also strong in the south," Akayev said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
"He [Bakiyev] had many brothers and they also controlled the south, and the south has also had enough of the Bakiyev family," Akayev said adding that he was sure that "this is the end of Bakiyev"s regime." Bakiyev was also suspected of preparing his son, Maxim, to inherit power in the country.
