The Kyrgyz Revolution refers to a series of protests and uprisings in Kyrgyzstan that led to significant political changes. The first major revolution occurred in March 2005, known as the Tulip Revolution, which resulted in the ousting of President Askar Akayev. Citizens were motivated by widespread corruption, economic hardship, and a desire for democratic reforms. A second wave of protests, often called the April Revolution, took place in April 2010. This uprising led to the removal of President Kurmanbek Bakiyev, who faced accusations of authoritarianism and mismanagement. Both revolutions highlighted the people's demand for greater political freedom and accountability in the government.
