Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[KavkazUzel] Refugees from Palestine stationed in the village of Avtury reported that they organized the holiday mainly for children and did not organize large celebrations, as before in their homeland. As the "Caucasian Knot" has reported, the Chechen authorities regularly report providing various assistance to refugees from Palestine located on the territory of the republic. Thus, on April 7, it became known that Kadyrov’s foundation distributed money and food to refugees from Palestine in Chechnya in honor of the approaching Eid al-Fitr holiday. The Chechen authorities previously promised to build a residential complex with 35 apartments for the Palestinians. As of January 29, the republic accepted 206 refugees from Palestine. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar, a month of fasting, spiritual and moral purification, as well as strengthening faith and will. During Ramadan, Muslims must abstain from food and drink during daylight hours. The month of fasting ends with the holiday of breaking the fast of Eid al-Fitr. Palestinian refugees who are in a temporary residence center celebrated Eid al-Adha. “Children decorated the rooms with balloons, drawings and other decorations. And in one of the buildings of the Gorny Klyuch camp in the village of Avtury in the Chechen Republic, women organized an improvised kitchen for preparing the traditional sweet kataif,” wrote the head of the Ministry of Press of Chechnya, Akhmed Dudayev, in his Telegram channel. As follows from the video of the Vainakh television company attached to the publication, the women prepared the table. One of the women said that the holiday was organized “for the sake of the children.” Another displaced person said that they still decided to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the children decorated the houses, but the celebration is not carried out as widely as usual, since there is a war in Palestine. “We celebrate here as always. In Palestine we celebrate every year. Well, we’ll celebrate it somehow. We have a war going on there. We also suffered, our parents, our people. Honestly, we won’t celebrate it like always,” he said he's on videotape. The video, filmed in the evening, shows a table with fruits and sweets, at which eight men are sitting, women standing at another table. Fireworks were also set off to mark the occasion. Let us recall that Ramzan Kadyrov suggested that officials, on the occasion of the end of Ramadan, pay for low-income residents of Chechnya who buy goods on credit in small shops. On April 6, the authorities reported that more than 100 million rubles were spent from Kadyrov’s fund to pay off the debts of low-income Grozny residents to grocery stores. At the same time, Ramzan Kadyrov stated that the action to pay off debts is not connected with the large number of poor people in Chechnya. Let us remind you that there is no official information about the sources of financing of the Kadyrov Foundation. According to the head of Chechnya, money is given to the republic by Allah, as well as by “good people.” At the same time, public sector employees in the republic are obliged to transfer about 10% of their income to charity every month, according to the Caucasian Knot certificate “ Kadyrov Foundation: how they spend “money from Allah”. Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Press of Chechnya, Akhmed Dudayev, at a meeting with refugees, said that they should maintain cleanliness and be more organized, and they should not rush the authorities of the republic to solve their problems. Dudayev’s reproaches to the guests contradict the Chechen traditions of hospitality, Caucasus experts and human rights activists noted. Posted by: badanov 2024-04-14 |
