For clarity, the report says the Kazakhstan President "may announce," which is speculative. Seems the Kazakhstan government declared a state of emergency for two weeks and will likely assess their options after that. My guess is the "may resign" message (if leaked by the Kaz government ) is designed to buy them time, to see if the opposition pressure lets up.
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev may announce the government’s dismissal on Wednesday morning, Kazakhstan’s Zakon.kz news portal reported, citing own sources.
IMO...these are not the actions of someone planning to leave soon...
The president imposed a two-week state of emergency and a curfew in the country’s largest city of Almaty and the southwestern Mangistau Province early on Wednesday. The presidential decree prohibits strikes, peaceful gatherings and mass events in the above-mentioned areas, and restricts inbound and outbound traffic to Almaty. The president also ordered to temporarily seize weapons and ammunition from individuals and legal entities.
