“The opposition in Kyrgyzstan says it has dissolved parliament and taken power, after a bloody uprising forced the president to flee the capital.

Opposition leader Roza Otunbayeva, an ex-foreign minister, said the interim government was fully in control.

She said President Kurmanbek Bakiyev had not yet resigned but was trying to rally support in the country’s south.

Clashes in the capital, Bishkek, and other towns left 75 dead and more than 1,000 hurt, the health ministry said.”
