Kyrgyzstan Update

The Kyrgyz opposition has really taken over. They've reconvened the old legislature, the one from before recent (allegedly corrupt) elections. Key ministers and an interim president have been appointed. It is all happening so fast that the BBC has a new story with an 'old' photo. They also have a nifty timeline:

• 0725 GMT: Thousands of protesters march towards presidential palace
• 0830 GMT: Clashes reported in Bishkek between pro- and anti-government forces
• 0954 GMT: Protesters storm presidential compound
• 1125 GMT: Opposition says it has taken control of state TV
• 1257 GMT: Opposition leader Felix Kulov reported released from prison
• 1350 GMT: Kulov makes TV appeal for President Akayev to step down
• 1409 GMT: Russia urges Kyrgyzstan to return to "lawful" path
• 1543 GMT: Opposition leader Kurmanbek Bakiyev says Akayev has left the country
• 1543 GMT: Kyrgyzstan's Supreme Court annuls February election
• 1820 GMT: Ishinbai Kadyrbekov appointed interim leader

What's an outsider to do? The regional press is wringing its hands, but even the Russians can't put the kibosh on events occuring this quickly. We'll all just continue to watch and wait and see.
