Japan allots some $1 mln for education restoration in Chechnya

29.03.2006, 07.11

TOKYO, March 29 (Itar-Tass) - The Japanese government has allocated 978,000 US dollars for the restoration of education in the Chechen republic, it is said in an official press release of the Japanese Foreign Ministry received by Itar-Tass on Wednesday.

Chechnya will receive these funds within the framework of a joint project of Japan and the United Nations for psychological, pedagogical and medical-social rehabilitation of schoolchildren and teaching staff.

The money provided within the framework of the project will be used above all to increase the number of personnel of the psychological-pedagogical and medico-social rehabilitation centre in Chechnya, increase the number of specialists that will provide help to schoolchildren that sustained injuries from mines and in other situations, as well as to purchase specialised literature and teaching materials.

According to UN experts, since 1999 ...

The death of President Aslan Maskhadov, chief of resistance, on March 8th, 2005 during a special operation of Russian forces, changes nothing in this imperative. Its disappearing should not put an end to conflict. Resistance in Chechnya would continue despite the death of Maskhadov. Combatants and military chiefs in Chechnya may not give up. Time is to support efforts.

WHAT MADE CHECHEN SCHOOLCHILDREN ILL?

As Newsru.com reported on March 27, a mass outbreak of an unknown illness occurred in Chechnya’s Shelkovskoi district in the middle of last December. The first registered cases appeared ...
