Omurbek Babanov, kicked off his Twitter feed on 20 July 2010 with a passionate “Appeal to the Kyrgyz and Uzbek brothers and sisters” after the violent clashes between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks in the cities of Osh and Jalal-Abad in southern Kyrgyzstan, which left 2,000 people dead. The account was became inactive in November 2010 and resumed in January 2012, a month after Babanov became Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is occasionally conversational replying to his followers. His most re-tweeted tweet is the decision in February 2012 to “replace all of the hundreds of Interior Ministry, Border, Customs officials at Bishkek and Osh airports. The reason, a large number of complaints”
