Feruary 23 is the Russian army's birthday. It is also the the day in 1944 when the liquidation of the Chechenian state began. 459,486 people of Chechenia were declared to be traitors and treated as such. At least 20% died as a rsult of the deportation of these people to central Asia.

No mention of this genocide was made at the recent conference on genocide held in Stockholm. Nor in the previous conferences. Nor by Kofi Annan.

The Danish Prime Minister said that Chechenia should be included in research into the Holocaust and genocide on the occasion of the opening of the Danish Center for Research into the Holocaust and Genocide in 2000. Putin's spin doctors protested imediately and cancelled various bilateral contacts between Denmark and Russia. The US with its so-called war on terror has given carte blanche to the Russians vis á vis Chechenian.

The 200,000 refugees left in 2000 could look forward to more killing.

And Sig harps on 5000 Parisian deaths.
