na Guerra das Tchéchénia Ficar no Centro Atenco? K Poznámka Here is the article by Laure Akai on the War in Chechnya, the
anti-war movement and ideas ~ because of the opposition to it

WILL BE WAR CENTRE STAGE?
Finally after the dramatic and tragic events in
Moscow theater, the war in Chechnya back to attract the attention
. How can such a long campaign
can dive in the dark and how can we explain the absence of a response
large-scale international war against
this?
The facts speak for themselves: tens of thousands of people
killed, tortured and disabled hundreds of thousands displaced. Entire cities
destroyed without hope of return to be rebuilt within
the near future. Hundreds or even thousands
documented atrocities, and yet the international community seems
keeping quiet in relation R Chechnya.
While hundreds of thousands protest against U.S. plans to conduct a
military aggression against Iraq, the actions
against the war in Chechnya have been few and with little
membership. There's no reason for that, there's no reason
acceptable to say that this potential U.S. aggression is worse that the current
aggression by Russia in Chechnya. It is as if the world
he forgot that Russia was and has been an imperial
potency. The silence in relation R
Chechnya has functioned essentially as tacit authorization to continue these operations in
impunity. If we ignore Chechnya, this is not
part of major news, whether it is a small country, barely
known, is not as if the world felt obliged to
worry about what happens there. If Russia is committing atrocities
is not as important as if the U.S.
commit them. Even worse are the voices that say they are not
sure that there's no objective reason to attack Chechnya
eg those who, knowing that there are many Muslims
there, then they will not protest against this war as it could be seen as a
support to Islam. The fact is plain and simple that there are practically no
radical Muslims in the republic or it'll
well after the war began and there was some increase
this area is due largely to the fact that the war
carried out there not produced
any response in various ways, except as Muslims.
For 8 years in conflict with Russia, is perhaps too late
start an anti-war campaign but should be performed
anyway even just as the struggle against racism and for
become recognizable because of the hundreds of thousands of Chechen refugees
that were routinely persecuted in Russia
, expelled from refugee camps and deported from
Western countries who refuse to take seriously the hardness

RACISM "not worth Caucasians apply.
This warning was and is common in Moscow. I do not try to get an apartment or a job
. We do not want black. This is the least of the problems that refugees face

remains a legal obligation to dispose of a residence visa in
Vivi Moscow. Without visas, there's no work. Not nice apartment.
There's no school for their children. Life becomes a series of bribes and payments
identity checks at random in the streets
. House searches. The Chechen in Russia are in categories
very different from each other. Some have lived there all his life
others are partially or Russians got close friends
that they're Russians. But for newcomers to abandon Chechnya
can mean other things. Some people got
familiars that can give help some people manage
find work in small family businesses. Other
maybe not most but the best known group, has to settle for
a network of clandestine work and so
survive. Sometimes fall into businesses controlled by the mafia.
other times fall into something that's not exactly a mafic
but that can easily taken by one. In any case, many people have
counter with some small business to help
to live and provide them protection mainly from
Moscow police. Some end up turning to crime.
And so, the Russian racist society (ironically
feels offended by his gangster image abroad), decided that all Chechen
're involved in criminal and mafia activities
.
Racism has already reached levels that cause nausea. Not worth
hide that people with dark skin are regularly
searched by police and that police have legal authority to do so
. Pogroms occur at various scales
with frequence ~ ence. Politicians spew diatribes of hatred, sometimes
trying to disguise their racism, sometimes not
worried about it. There are many situations where it is difficult to speak of racism
itself as a factor of hate. Concepts such as
civilization are closely connected to racism.
The way people live, how they organize their economy, decide on the development
, globalize or not, are organized on the basis of material or spiritual aspects
the cultural prejudices of
Europeans and Americans, strongly linked to the development
capitalism and its social and cultural
all this plays a large extent more important than just
race itself as a basis for prejudice and hatred.
The anti-war movement in Russia was also the occasion for a
appearance of anti-racist movement, had equivalent meaning
protest against racist ideas, policies
and practices.
Many people within the movement in Russia was eager for
disintegration of the Soviet Empire, but this does not mean that anyone
were anxious to see grow
nationalism as a mechanism to inspire the national liberation movements
. In our view
anarchist, never set ourselves a favor
statism or nationalism Chechnya - but we were even more critical
In relation r imposition of the imposition of Soviet hegemony / Russian
and economic exploitation in the area.
Qunato Condo relationship between nationalism and racism, see
a clear difference on how the national liberation movements
Baltic, Ukraine and Kazakhstan were seen in
abroad and how they saw the movment
separatist Chechnya. In general, with the exception of Kazakhstan (which is a relatively rich country
and about 50% of Russians), the
independence movements in the Caucasus and Central Asia
're almost always maligned and feared and the least bad of the cases ,
viewed with apprehension. Do we see any reason to
moral order by which they should be recognized as lettőes
independents in Russia and not the Chechen taking the grating
culture (high power) and the dominant European chauvisismo
in much of the world and in public perception.
WAR
Despite letters of protest campaigns or occasional (and
excluding the support of communities and activists muçulmans)
the antiwar movement
only really exists in a number of countries, for example
in Russia , Poland, Ukraine and Georgia. Many involved in the movement
anti-war activists were not before that, people like
moms of soldiers are just ordinary people who have had to
self-organize to save lives
concrete. In general, there are few basic movements
making public appearances on the streets of these countries, thus taking
not been large protests. (And few have been accruing for exceptional
) But working against
war has been conducted over the years. Organizations such as Memorial
got persistently collected and disseminated
intel for years. One has attempted to organize aid to refugees and humanitarian
Rs victims.
The response of the anarchists to war, although relatively small
, has also been significant for a number of reasons, mainly because it has
ewtado the main source of opposition to war
in major Russian cities. For years,
anarchists in various Russian cities have held weekly pickets
(although in certain cities that have suffered ritual
breaks after long periods). In Poland,
dozens of protests were held throughout the country; 6 demos.

War and was taken first aid. Anarchists also got
assets shown in the collection and delivery of humanitarian aid;
several years ago, two anarchists were
a group of people kidnapped in Chechnya. Eventually released.

PROBLEMS in Chechnya
Many people refer to certain problems in Chechnya
reason not to support the antiwar movement or even to give support
Condo Russian occupation of this land. Such behavior can be exemplified

got sympathy for people who take hostages or volunteer humanitarian workers
. However, the very people who were victims
're the first to point out that not censor

problematic, but became such by their recent history, not by any alleged
barbaric nature of its people. It seems that the problems
are often magnified in Chechnya as a pretext for
tacit support to war and R maintaining a Eurocentric world view
. CONCLUSION
is a terrible mistake that the world has not reacted earlier to
denounce this war. Now, in the context that called for
a war against terrorism a war whose purpose is to divert the
wide censorship of various geo-political problems

Western civilization and the capital - Russia argues that its racist and imperialist wars

have to realize this and react. We urge people to Rs
spread as far as possible the information you

embassies in your city. We expect
pretexts used for this war are so
exposed, making it more difficult to use them in future
