Kyrgyzstan’s president, Sooronbai Jeenbekov, announced his resignation on Thursday in an attempt to end the turmoil that has engulfed the central Asian nation after a disputed parliamentary election.
Jeenbekov, who has faced calls to step down from protesters and political opponents, said in a statement released by his office that holding on to power wasn’t “worth the integrity of our country and harmony in society”.
