The United States has allowed the voluntary departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and family members from the consulate general in Almaty, Kazakhstan, the State Department said on Friday, amid the nationwide unrest that has killed dozens of protesters.
“U.S. citizens in Kazakhstan should be aware that violent protests may severely impact the U.S. Embassy’s ability to provide consular services, including assistance to U.S. citizens departing Kazakhstan,” the State Department said in a statement.
