Communications have been turned off in Kazakhstan
In a sweeping move, the communications have been turned off in Kazakhstan.
People trying to connect with their families are in despair, not knowing if they’re safe. One user on our WTX News Twitter account said he was trying to contact somebody in Kyzylorda but he couldn’t connect with anyone for the last 12 hours.
“I’m in Denmark and have been trying to call my girlfriend who lives in Astana. It sounds like the call is being picked up on the other side after ringing a few times, but all I hear is static noise and then it hangs up after about 30 seconds. I’m feeling so worried and helpless that I can’t reach her.”
