AVAR VILLAGERS RETURN TO CHECHNYA
By empty (6/30/2005 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Almost all of the several hundred Avar villagers who fled last month from the Chechen village of Borozdinovskaya to neighboring Daghestan following a sweep operation by unidentified security forces returned to their homes on 29 June. The villagers were transported in a convoy organized by Chechen First Deputy Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov, whose security force has been tasked with guarding the village. Pro-Moscow Chechen administration head Alu Alkhanov has pledged that \"everything will be done\" to locate the 11 villagers abducted during the 4 June sweep operation.
