Chechnya: Aid Groups Face Hostility From Moscow 01-Sep-05 Foreign aid organisations in Chechnya find their hands are tied by Russian bureaucracy and suspicion. By Valery Dzutsev in Moscow (CRS No. 302, 01-Sep-05) In July, the Czech aid group People in Need was forced to leave Russia after more than five years working in Chechnya. The Russian media accused the group of having links with Chechen rebels, a charge it denies. The departure of People in Need is only the latest expression of Moscow’s attitude of mistrust, and sometimes outright hostility, towards foreign non-government organisations, NGOs, working in the North Caucasus. “NGOs on the ground in Chechnya and Ingushetia are often harassed, and there is a certain distrust between NGOs and the security services,” said Stephen Tull, head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNOCHA, in Russia. Aid groups have repeatedly been accused by the Russian government of misconduct, intelligence gathering, and even collusion ... >> full

Personality Cult in Chechnya 01-Sep-05 The manufactured campaign to glorify slain Chechen president Akhmad Kadyrov carries a coded message from Moscow. By Kazbek Tsuraev in Grozny (CRS No. 302, 01-Sep-05) Hundreds of people are gathered expectantly in Grozny’s central square, against a backdrop of bullet-scarred and burnt-out buildings. Facing the crowd, in which black-uniformed policemen mingle with civilians, is a man in a smart suit - Chechnya’s Moscow-backed president, Alu Alkhanov. He is standing beside a towering pedestal on which stands a figure covered in a green cloth. Alkhanov stretches out a hand and pulls away the cloth to reveal a three-metre tall statue of a man holding prayer beads and dressed in a “papakha”, the traditional Caucasian fur hat. It depicts Akhmad Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed Chechen leader who was killed when a bomb went off at Grozny’s stadium on May 9, 2004. “This monument is dedicated to a man who loved his people,” Alkhanov tells the crowd. ... >> full

September, 9, 2005 The appeal of President of CHRI in connection with anniversary of Independence (Translation from the Chechen language) September, 6, 2005 In the name of gracious and Merciful Allah! Dear compatriots, brothers and sisters! Today, 14 years have passed since that day when our people restored the state independence of our country. I would like to remind, that it was the peace action which was going on in legal frameworks of constitutions working on that moment in the USSR, RSFSR and CHIASSR. The legitimacy of this historical action was confirmed with courage and with the letter of the international law, with special laws and declarations of the governments of the USSR and Russia, as well as with the resolution of Supreme Soviet of CHIASSR. If this legal base may not be considered as a reason for the benefit of legality of our actions, the legitimate state doesn't exist at all in the world. This was ... >> full
