Riot police officers stand ready to stop demonstrators during a protest in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2022. Demonstrators protesting rising fuel prices have broken into the mayor's office in Kazakhstan's largest city and flames were seen coming from inside, according to local news reports. Protests against a sharp increase in prices for liquefied gas began this week in the country's west and spread to Almaty and the capital Nur-Sultan. Vladimir Tretyakov/AP Photo.
