Kyrgyzstan Closes Borders Amid Unrest, Official Says

Reuters

   Kyrgyzstan has closed its borders to ensure security amid unrest that
   has toppled the government, deputy security council chief Omurbek
   Suvanaliyev told Russia's Interfax news agency Thursday.

   Thousands-strong protests forced the Kyrgyz Cabinet to resign this week
   and the central election commission to annul the results of Sunday's
   parliamentary election, leaving the country with no clear leadership.
