August 1, 2013 03:32 PM Age: 14 hrs Popular Cleric Poses a Threat to Ingushetia’s LeaderBy: Mairbek VatchagaevAfter a year of sparring with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov over several dozen hectares of disputed land, the president of Ingushetia decided to distinguish himself in yet another field. According to official information, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov has been strenuously trying to purge the republican interior ministry’s ranks of personnel who may be connected to or sympathetic to Ingush rebels.
Ingush Interior Minister Alexander Trofimov, who is an ethnic Russian, noted at a recent ministry meeting that a third of all registered crimes in the republic during the first six months of 2013 were categorized as "grave” (www.regnum.ru/news/kavkaz/ingush/1687366.html). The minister also said that in the same period, 343 police officers were prosecuted for various offenses, 20 of whom were fired. For such a small republic, these figures are quite significant, and comprise nearly 10 percent of the total ... >> full

Apparently Eying Another Term, Yevkurov Launches PR Campaign

 Yunus-Bek Yevkurov (Source: Vestnik Kavkaza) The end of November was packed with events for the head of the small North Caucasusian republic of Ingushetia. On November 22–23, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov visited Kazakhstan, where he met people from the local Ingush diaspora. The Ingush diaspora came to existence in Kazakhstan following the deportation of the Ingush and Chechen peoples from the North Caucasus by Joseph Stalin in 1944. During his talks with the Ingush of Kazakhstan, Yevkurov tried to convince them that there were no obstacles from the authorities for their return to Prigorodny district, the disputed area between Ingushetia and North Ossetia (http://wordyou.ru/v-islame/evkurov-posetil-ingushskuyu-mechet-astany.html).
Yevkurov presented some business projects in Kazakhstan that attracted no interest from Kazakhstani companies, which are fairly well aware of the violent situation in Ingushetia. He then made ... >> full

 Ingushetian picketer demonstrates in Moscow, October 3 (Source: Caucasian Knot)
October in Ingushetia started off in the usual way, with routine shootouts and attacks on military personnel. There were, however, more important events for the republican government to attend to, such as the picketing that the Ingush opposition managed to stage in Moscow. The governor of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, was perhaps among those least willing to see such protest activity in Moscow. When members of the Ingush opposition tried to stage protests in Moscow in May demanding Yevkurov’s resignation, the Ingush leader became hysterical, going on TV to call the organizers of the protests indecent people and stating that true Ingush people would never do such a thing. Yevkurov further demanded that the relatives of the protesters bring the protesters’ activities under control ...

Ingushetia Resembles a Dormant Volcano of ProblemsPublication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 9 Issue: 139 July 23, 2012 03:42 PM  Emir Magas, former head of the Ingush jamaat (Source: israhaber.com) Recent events in Ingushetia, the smallest republic of the North Caucasus, have forced observers not to discount the Ingush armed resistance’s capabilities. In 2011, there were 108 casualties in the ongoing conflict in Ingushetia, including 70 dead and 38 injured. That was three times fewer casualties than in 2010, when Emir Magas was still leading the insurgency in the republic. However, since the start of 2012 and as of June 17, some 25 people have been killed in the conflict, with 30 wounded and up to 10 kidnapped (www.kavkaz-uzel.ru/articles/122475). The militants suffered the greatest number of casualties – 18 killed and 8 wounded. Four civilians were killed and 11 injured in the same period, during which 20 explosions took place, including cases in ... >> full
