An unspecified number of outraged local residents stormed the office of Karabulak Mayor Ibragim Arsamakov on 11 July after he refused to meet with them to discuss their complaints about the distribution of land plots and about corruption among local officials. The authorities responded by blocking all roads leading to the town; Prime Minister Ibragim Malsagov traveled to Karabulak to meet with the protesters, who dispersed following the announcement of Arsamakov\'s dismissal \"due to his incorrect approach to resolving the population\'s problems.\" Opposition leader Bekbulat Gorchkhanov told ingushetiya.ru that people are so angered by high-level corruption and by President Putin\'s renomination last month of Murat Zyazikov to serve a second term as Ingushetian president that a revolution could erupt at any time. The Ingush opposition pledged after the republic\'s parliament confirmed Zyazikov\'s renomination that it will continue to observe the three-month moratorium on protest actions against Zyazikov that it announced in early June.
