Kazakh President fires salvo at predecessor

‘Regime built a layer of rich people’
Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev issued rare criticism of his long-ruling predecessor on Tuesday, and said he expected Russian-led forces to leave the troubled Central Asian country in the next 10 days.
The oil-rich country’s descent into chaos has laid bare infighting at the top of a government once dominated by Mr. Tokayev’s mentor, 81-year-old Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Addressing lawmakers in a video conference, Mr. Tokayev fired an eyebrow-raising broadside at Mr. Nazarbayev.
