Russian Treaty Thing
To most students and a good part of the rest of American society, the issues which have come to surface and shed blood over miles of terrain are intricate and internal, issues which can't be put to rest by signing a piece of paper or so called treaty. The internal structure of Russia has been weakened time and time again for the past decade and the problems and disgruntled begin to lash out as the lack of concern becomes more and more obvious. Since the recent assignation attempt, the fourth on the life of Aslan Maskhadov and the first in his capacity as President of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria on July 23, 1998, combined with the vast scale of organized crime, abductions and seemingly unrestricted terrorism over the last 18 months, the unquestioned, taken for granted rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, begin to become a question of validity. For one to try and fathom the fright felt by the Chechen civilians' or begin to wonder why this is happening would be impossible, but by taking a closer look at the parties involved in this crisis can help us to understand the issues at place. Amongst all of this horror lies the participants involved, whether a political, ethnic, interest or religious group, each
The preparation for jungle warfare and sniper filled street city combat has been the rebels strategy all along, hence stressing the importance of retreat, survive and regroup. There are a number of negative economic factors that stem from the results of the war with Russia. Second, there are questions still outstanding on compensation and reparation from the Russian Federation covering the displacement of people as refugees or forced migrants, including the majority of the Russian population forced to leave Chechnya. Russia also blames the rebels for apartment bombings that killed 300 people in several Russian cities back in September. In some areas of government and the law enforcement agencies, a sympathetic attitude engendered by shared combat experience exists towards those illegally meting out justice and punishment to those who did not support the separatist cause. If it is the case that Maskhadov is killed or removed from power, the likelihood for a civil war would grow, resulting in the ultimate consequence of which could become a catastrophe, not only for Chechnya, the North Caucasus and the 'independent' republics of the Transcaucasus, but ultimately for Russia as a whole. Manilov is the Russian army's first deputy chief of staff and main Chechnya mouthpiece and recently announced the launch of a new phase in the campaign, saying troops would now pursue the rebels into the mountains. Once the Russian forces submit to the Chechen's long waited fight, the tables will turn. Since this incident it seems as if Russia's intentions are to seek and destroy rather than punish, unfortunately, the underlying problem caused by this is the lack of concern by Russia towards the increasingly high civilian casualties. The problem with high casualties lies with the people of Russia who are only supporting the war because of the minimum causality rate reported by Russian reporters. Yeltsin admires Vladimir Putin but it sure doesn't thrill me knowing that the Russian Duma voted to confirm Putin as the countries new premier. Since it has been stated that in order for Russia to declare victory the rebels have to be eliminated, the latter part of this war shall see a shift in causalities, more of which will be seen by Russians' and not Chechens'. Unfortunately, these issues lack the dedicated time needed to derive solutions because more immediate issues strain Chechnya. Russian troops must either take the city or obliterate it if they hope to declare victory.
