September 6 - Independence Day of Ichkeria


September 6 – Independence Day of Ichkeria


Today it is the 15th anniversary of the day when our nation restored independent statehood of our country. It was an act of peace, whose legitimacy was provided by the Constitutions of the USSR, RSFSR (Russian Federative Republic) and Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Republic, which were acting at that moment, as well as by the special laws and declarations of the Union's government. On that day we thought that the state sovereignty of Chechnya, which was declared, was completing the many centuries of our people's struggle for independence and was putting an end to the countless sacrifices that our nation had made in this fight. But turned out it was not so. It turned out that we still had to go through the main ordeals and main sacrifices.

After a series of failed negotiations, provocations, informational lies, all kinds of blockades and attempts to unleash a civil war, back in December of 1994 the Kremlin unleashed a full-scale war against the Chechen people. Being unable to use the force of arguments against the Chechen independence, the Kremlin decided to use the argument of force. Our people were facing a historical choice: either to submit to the new colonial domination of the Russian empire, or to take up arms and defend their freedom.

Just like their heroic ancestors, the Chechens chose to fight for their freedom, for their national dignity and for their honor. The best sons and daughters of our nation took up arms and engaged in a battle with outnumbering enemy, -- one of the leading military powers of the planet, which dispatched its force against small Ichkeria; the force that it was saving for the war against the rest of the world. Ever since then the war has been continuing for ten years already. It has brought unbelievable sufferings to our people. Hundreds of thousands of the Republic's peaceful civilians have died. Hundreds of thousands of our fellow countrymen have scattered all around the world. And the rest of the people faced their lot in the Death Camp, which the invaders turned the territories of Chechnya into.

However, the Kremlin has never managed to reach its main objective: in spite of unprecedented atrocities in the history of the mankind, in spite of the mass murders, in spite of the tortures, beatings and nightmares of 'cleansings' that happen at night and during the day, -- the Chechen people have not been brought down to their knees, their Resistance has not been crushed, but on the contrary, the Resistance is getting stronger and stronger each year and each month, and so is the scope of the attacks on the hordes of the Russian murderers and tyrants, who keep ravaging our country. The entire world, including Russia, can see that we will hold out. And our warriors do not doubt for a minute that with the help of Almighty Allah the victory will be ours.

The time will surely come when we and our descendants will be celebrating this day in the country liberated from the aggressors! The time will come when instead of tears of our mothers and sisters, instead of the ruins of our cities and villages burned with the fire of inferno, we will see the smiles of happiness and the prospering country. The time will come because we have paid and we still keep paying the highest price for that future.

And may Almighty Allah help us!
