Chechnya’s Secret Wartime Diplomacy

Abstract

My greetings to you and your comrades, Ilyas! I sent you a cassette on which I outlined the situation outside Chechnya and other things regarding it, and also what I think about the negotiations. On the cassette that I sent to Akhmed [Zakayev], I asked him to get in touch with me more often through messengers, as long as there is no way to communicate through telephone or the Internet. He told me that Udugov and his men are again making noise about some captured lieutenant-colonel and making statements regarding him on our behalf, and that worries you. I’ll tell you what. There’s absolutely no doubt that this activity is being carried out purposefully and by order of the Russians. And this isn’t the first time when you can see that it’s being done at the right time for Russians and not for us. During his attack on Dagestan, he [Udugov] said that the combatants that invaded were Chechens, and afterward, with the war here [in Chechnya] he said that the guys fighting here are Arabs.

Assalamu-alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa barakatuh!
