In this week's show, correspondent Daisy Sindelar has the story of two neighbors in southern Kyrgyzstan. Both women -- a Kyrgyz and an Uzbek -- lived through the brutal ethnic violence that erupted one year ago. For both, sadness and suspicions have yet to fade.
We also talk with Daisy -- one of the rotating hosts of "The Blender" -- about her experiences and impressions while traveling around the region for the past week. She's there to cover the anniversary of the ethnic clashes that broke out in Osh on the night of June 10, 2010. When the dust settled and the fires had been extinguished, more than 470 people were dead and thousands of properties had been destroyed.
