From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 7/6/2007 10:07 AM Kremlin propaganda belied by increasing rebel attacks Publication time: 2 July 2007, 14:25 Over the past several years, the arrival of summer in Chechnya has seen Ramzan Kadyrov's triumphant declarations about life in the region as the perfect give-away to the alarming reports about the growing hostilities. This year has been no exception. Since May, reports about daily clashes in the mountains have gradually replaced official statements that peace has returned to Chechnya. This past week, the number of reports about warfare has increased significantly. The tone of these reports has also changed, with news about a soldier stepping on a mine somewhere high in the mountains replaced by news of ambushes and rebel attacks on military facilities in settlements located on Chechnya's plains. On June 25, Interfax reported that a garrison had been attacked in the Vedeno district. Three days earlier, on June ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 2/23/2007 11:07 AM February 23rd 2007 · Prague Watchdog / Tamara Chagayeva Thirteen years spent in a reservation By Tamara Chagayeva Sixty-three years ago, in February, the Chechen people suffered a tragedy that only began to be talked about half a century later. The wholesale deportation of people according to their ethnic origin, later categorized as genocide, inflicted an irreparable loss on many later generations. Yet exactly fifty years later, Chechens had to endure all the horrors of genocide for a second time - during two wars that were among the cruellest and bloodiest in the history of mankind. That is how those events are remembered by eyewitnesses of the tragedy who experienced them in the early years of their youth. Throughout the whole of their lives they have carried this pain, not daring to share it with even their closest family members born after ... >> full

From: MSN NicknameEagle_wng (Original Message) Sent: 5/19/2007 3:17 PM May 16th 2007 · Prague Watchdog / Cerwyn Moore The radicalisation of the Chechen separatist movement: Myth or reality? By Cerwyn Moore, special to Prague Watchdog On December 9 2006, a young Mojahed, named only as Muhannad, assumed the leadership of the Arab Mujahideen in Chechnya. But does the presence of Muhannad, an Arab fighter, provide evidence of the radicalisation of what might be called the Chechen separatist movement, or does his presence in the separatist military council point towards complicated religious, social and Diaspora networks involved in the ongoing conflict in Chechnya? The role of the Arab mujahideen in Chechnya In November 2006, the Amir of the Arab mujahideen in Chechnya, Abu Hafs Al-Urdani, was killed in Dagestan. Prior to this, in April 2004, Abu Walid, the then leader of the Arab fighters in Chechnya was killed in a “special operation”. Abu ... >> full
