KAZAKHSTAN

Kazakhs overwhelmingly voted in favor of decentralizing government, reducing the power of the president, rescinding former president Nursultan Nazarbayev's status as "Leader of the Nation," and banning his family from official positions.

"We have shown that we are united in building the new, just Kazakhstan," President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said in a national address after the referendum last week, according to Reuters. "We must review the legislation which allowed a small group of people to concentrate the country's economic resources in their hands and enjoy preferential status."
