| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan Vice President General Abdul Rashid Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... moved to tears by peace progress in Chechnya which was once a fierce battleground between the local forces of Evil and Russian forces. In an interview with the State-run Sputnik News, the acting Chechen Republic leader Ramzan Kadyrov, said "I felt sorry for him [Dostum]. He had tears in his eyes. He said they had lost 2 million people [in Afghanistan]... He asked: how did you do it? Why can’t we do the same?" He said the Afghan Vice President was struck struck by how quickly Chechnya was able to restore order and resume peaceful life after decades of fierce fighting between local forces of Evil and Russian government forces. Gen. Dostum visited Chechenya last year to meet with the country’s officials and discuss the issues of mutual interest. The acting Chechen leader leader stressed that the once restive Caucasus region in southern Russia is now hard boy-free. When asked if rebels were still active in the region after a decade of fighting against Russian troops, Kadyrov replied, "No, there are none in our territory." He praised local law enforcers and cooperation from residents for maintaining security and stability in Chechnya. According to Kadyrov, the region was rocked by 157 liquidation attempts, 14 terrorist kabooms and killings of 52 coppers in 2007, the year he was appointed the head of the Chechen Republic. The remarks by kadyrov comes as the Afghan officials have been struggling to start peace talks with the Taliban forces of Evil as the 14 years of violence has claimed thousands of lives. a The Taliban group has continuously rejected calls for peace talks despite the group has been blamed for the majority of civilian casualties as the group insists on its pre-conditions for grinding of the peace processor and insists that the so-called holy war is being waged for the betterment of the country. |
