Why Biden Should Have an Eye on Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan could be a major actor in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. This means that Kazakhstan is now considered a strategic US country. Since peace returned to the country, Kazakh president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has made significant changes to the power of the ruling elite structures, causing questions and concerns. Tokayev was named the chairperson of the National Security Council, replacing the president Nursultan Nagabev. This has attracted most attention.

Three sons, in-laws, of the former president, have been fired by state companies. The nephew of the president was also dismissed, and Karim Masimov (ex-intelligence director) was convicted of being a treasoner. 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.
