It s been a tough winter in Uzbekistan thus far with unusually cold temperatures and heavy snow that put the country s aging energy infrastructure to the test.
It failed, resulting in an unusual number of protests by cold people living in dark homes who have heard government excuses for power outages for too many years.
The Protests
On January 21, amid a heavy snowstorm, the lights went out in parts of six of Uzbekistan s 12 provinces.
For those in the Khorezm, Navoi, Bukhara, Kashkadarya, Syrdarya, and Andijon provinces who were affected, it was hardly a surprise.
