There are signs Kazakhstan's president is slowly regaining control in the country, following a bloody clampdown by security forces to end days of mass protests and after Russian-led troops arrived to support the government. The main square, the key protest site, was occupied by security forces and blocked off with armored vehicles. Kazakhstan's president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Wednesday appealed to Russia for help, asking a Moscow-led military alliance of former Soviet countries to send troops.
