外电报道如下：President Askar Akayev's government collapsed Thursday after opposition protesters took over the presidential compound and government offices, throwing computers and air conditioners out of windows in a frenzy of anger over corruption and a disputed election.

　　The popular uprising in this impoverished Central Asian nation of 5 million forced Akayev to flee, was breathtaking in its speed and resulted in only a few dozen injured. The government was the third in a former Soviet republic after Georgia and Ukraine to be brought down by people power over the past year and a half.

　　One immediate challenge for the new rulers was rampant looting in government buildings and shops in the capital, Bishkek.

　　Breathtaking表示“惊人的，非凡的，惊险的，令人兴奋的”，例如：a breathtaking car race（扣人心弦的汽车比赛）。

　　据悉，刚刚被释放的吉尔吉斯斯坦反对派领导人、前副总统费利克斯·库洛夫24日在国家电视台发表讲话要求总统阿卡耶夫下台，呼吁人民保持平静，通过法律途径解决所有问题。
