Uzbeks flee Kyrgyzstan

Ethnic Uzbekian refugees wait at the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border outside the village of Suratash in southern Kyrgyzstan. Tens of thousands of ethnic Uzbeks have fled their homes and headed for Uzbekistan following several days of violence which has left at least 170 dead. Ethnic Uzbeks make up about 15 per cent of Kyrgyzstan's 5.5 million people.
