HELP supports Chechens financially
Caharkala/Agency Caucasus - HELP, an international humanitarian aid organization, plans to make investments in financial support for Chechens whose means of living suffered considerably both from fighting in the mountains of Chechnya and arbitrary raids and bomb attacks by the occupier Russian forces.
HELP will provide financial assistance for the Chechen people on low income in places like Shali, Kurchaloi, Vedeno, Nogai Yurt, Itum Kale and Sharoi to set small businesses. HELP's financial assistance will cover distribution to the local people of sheep and goats.
HELP has been providing assistance as a humanitarian aid organization to refugees both in Chechnya and Ingushetia since 1999. It has the governments of Germany as well as Sweden as its major financial benefactors among other European Union and United Nations member countries. KU/ÖZ/FT

Students say that the step was taken after President Ramzan Kadyrov, on a visit to the Institute a few weeks ago, saw that Kerimov’s secretary was not wearing a headscarf. "The ... >> full

Some observers see that campaign as a bid to pit the Chechen strain of Sufism against the Salafi Islam espoused by the North Caucasus resistance.

Kadyrov, the son of a former chief mufti, is apparently promoting a brand of ethno-territorial ... >> full
