The Tulip Revolution was a peaceful political movement in Kyrgyzstan that took place in March 2005. It aimed to challenge the government of President Askar Akayev, who was accused of corruption and authoritarianism. The protests were sparked by allegations of electoral fraud in the parliamentary elections, leading to widespread public discontent. During the revolution, thousands of citizens gathered in the capital, Bishkek, demanding democratic reforms and the resignation of Akayev. The movement successfully culminated in his ousting, marking a significant moment in Central Asia's political landscape and inspiring similar movements in the region.
