Why Biden must keep an eye on Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan can be a significant player in the Russia/Ukraine conflicts. The United States has made Kazakhstan an important strategic partner. The peace process has been restored to Kazakhstan, and the Kazakh president Kassym Jomart Tokayev made important changes to the power structures of the ruling elite which caused concern and questions. Tokayev has been appointed Chairperson of the National Security Council. He succeeds the President Nursultan Nagayev, whose economic influence has angered protesters.

Three of the former president’s daughters and sons-in law were fired from state-owned businesses. His nephew also was fired as well as Karim Mastimov, who was the former head of the intelligence department was arrested for the crime of treason. Many other Nazarbayev-affiliated top officials and business elite have lost their jobs, left overseas for extended vacations, or were forced to make large „donations” to the state.

Tokayev has established business relations with the countries of his neighbors and also the West. To ensure his popularity, he has avoided angering Putin. Kazykhanov might disturb that equilibrium. Washington must closely watch developments in Kazakhstan because they could point to many possible power transition scenarios.
