The Kazakh oligarchic authorities have, essentially and as expected, declared a Jihad against the people and forcing the opposition to adopt other ways of resistance. The oligarchs think that by adopting more violent repressive measures, by generating enough intimidating violence, they will dominate the will of the people and prevent the recreation of more protests through deadly threats.
It is obvious that unarmed populations cannot face professional military and police forces on equal terms and that the brutal strategy will work for some time. The question, as usual, is if it will work for long enough to save the regime and if it will not create new avenues of resistance, more determined, militant and violent. The Syrian option looms in the horizon.
