The roots of the present revolution are various: South vs. North clash (Bakiev is from the South, the rebels are from the North), corruption and suppressive government (in recent years Kyrgyz people witnessed all forms of oppression from closings of the newspapers to independent journalists' murders , Russia's Great Game interest, Ortega-y-Gasset'ian "revolt of the masses", etc. 
Vyanzo vya mapinduzi ya sasa vipo kadhaa: mapambano kati ya Kusini na Kaskazini (Bakiev anatoka Kusini, wapinzani wanatoka Kaskazini), ufisadi na serikali inayogandamiza watu (katika miaka ya karibuni raia wa Kirigistani wameshuhudia kila aina ya ugandamizaji kutoka ule wa kufungiwa magazeti hadi kuuwawa kwa waandishi wa habari wasioegemea upande wowote ), Mchezo mkubwa wenye maslahi kwa Urusi, Ortega-y-Gasset'ian "mapinduzi ya watu" n.k.).
