What is happening in Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan citizens mostly use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) instead of petrol or diesel to run cars.
Three years ago, the Kazakhstan government ended subsidies on LPG. On January 1st, fuel prices became fully market based. The cost of LPG doubled from 60 tenge ($0.14) to 120 tenge.
As soon as LPG prices shot up, protests broke out in Zhanaozen and soon spread around the entire Kazakhstan including Nur Sultan, the capital and financial center of the country. People started demanding the regime change.
By January 5th, protesters stormed buildings in Almaty, the largest city, and briefly occupied its airport.
The President Kassym Zhomart Tokayev sacked Prime Minister and declared a state of emergency.
