Chechnya: Rebels Want Peace Talks | |
2006-07-16 | |
The unrecognized rebel government of Chechnya is ready to begin peace negotiations with Russia, Chechen Foreign Minister Akhmed Zakayev said July 16. Zakayev said Chechnya acknowledged that continued military action and violence will not lead to resolution of the conflict, so negotiations with Russia should begin without preconditions on either side. Russian Federal Security Service director Nikolai Patrushev declared a two-week amnesty offer for Chechen guerrillas July 15. Manifesto for Peace in Chechnya (This Manifesto has been written with the aim of attracting the attention of the World Leaders of the G-8 in view of their meeting in St. Petersburg mid July 2006)
Considering, that Russians and Chechens, during their shared history over the last four centuries, have been in an ongoing conflict, which has endangered the mere existence of the Chechen people through wars and deportations,Patrushev suggests Chechens surrender The head of the FSB (Russian Secret Service) Patrushev has made a-long-time-forgotten propagandistic statement in Moscow. He has suggested Chechens to lay down weapons and surrender. The time for those who are ready to surrender is certain till August 1st, 2006. The statement of the leader of FSB in itself is remarkable. On the background of bravura reports on full rout of Mujahideen several years ago, and for a long time stopped war, to call someone to lay down weapons, is strange enough. According to Patrushev's explains, this appeal to Chechens is connected with death of vice-president of CRI, the Military Amir Shamil Basayev who as Patrushev assures, did not allow Mujahideen to surrender. | |

#13 The Chechen rebels need to be hunted down and taken out. Every last one. They showed no mercy, and they should get none. They are a scourage on humanity. |

#12 Maybe it is the "decisive" part that confounds me. |

#11 Hummmmour. Believe that the FSB had anything to do with Basayev's departure? Right. Hey, people believe all sorts of shit. You and Glish can buy the Pootie's a Tough Guy silliness if you want. The evidence is that Basayev's demise was in the "work accident" category, not the absurd evolving farce (reread the sequence of press statements) that the FSB pulled it off. Beslan was a long long time ago. Pootie's "anyplace, anytime" press release was a howler, in retrospect. And this is merely the usual Colleseum Scene - one source calling for a hudna (this story) while another says the "struggle" goes on (Count Dooku story). Take the Beslan Massacre number out and the FSB has killed about as many civilian Russians as the Chechies. I'll grant they were more "humane" about it: They put them to sleep, first. |

#8 Putins victory over his terrorists wasnt won with rhetoric, it was decisive use of force. Israel must do the same, the terrorist thugs need to arrive at a point of realization, that to live by the sword is to die by the sword. soon the jihadists will get thier chance to march into a now certain outcome. |

#7 "Considering, that Russians and Chechens, during their shared history over the last four centuries, have been in an ongoing conflict..." Translated, "Dear Russians, We hate you. You suck. This all your fault. We are having a few ... difficulties. We are not defeated, but we will consider talking about peace - for the sake of the children. Stop killing us. We want amnesty. And independence. And a group-encounter session. So we can blame you. Without getting shot at, of course. Love, Ahmed P.S. "Beslan?" What is "Beslan"?" |

#4 So those jhihadists left in Chechnya will move on to 'greener' pastures? Seems they might be more useful in Lebanon. |
