Ingushetia: A second Chechnya
by admin on Oct.09, 2009, under Chechen Rebels
Very interesting report on the conflict in Ingushetia, neighbor of Chechnya, which by this account is turning into just a threat for Russian federation forces as Chechnya was in the recent past. We follow Maksharip Aushev in his describing of the situation in his country as insurgents Russian forces for independence. He tells the story of his own son being rounded up off of a train by Russian intelligence for choosing not to become an informant. He goes on to report that this is a common occurrence in Ingushetia. He organized a rally in protest of these extra-judicial kidnappings and the men were freed, only to find himself in prison for six months.
This video shows a lot of insurgent footage of both Chechen and Ingush mujahideen fighters taking up arms both in Chechnya and Ingushetia against the Russians. In all, a good video that shows how the Chechen War has spilled over into bordering states of the Russian Federation, a clear sign that the conflict is far from over and more Muslim and non muslims are willing to continue the struggle at any cost.
