Rebels in Chechnya plan
spring attack

Russian onslaught galvanizes civilian support

BY DAVE MONTGOMERY
Mercury News Moscow Bureau

NAZRAN, Russia -- Despite Russian claims of imminent victory in
Chechnya, rebel fighters are preparing for years of guerrilla warfare,
and according to one Chechen officer, they are preparing to unleash a
counteroffensive in the spring.

After relinquishing Grozny, Chechnya's capital, to Russian troops, the
rebels have retreated to the breakaway republic's cave-riddled
mountains, drawing on secret caches of munitions and food that were
stockpiled months ago as war with Russia became imminent.

The rebels are fortified by an army of civilians -- predominantly
women -- who are making wool socks and uniforms for the guerrillas,
raising money to buy weapons and tending to the wounded. Russian
military actions, which according to international human rights groups
have included atrocities, have galvanized civilian support for the
fighters.

Interviews with the officer, as well as with analysts and Chechen
refugees, contradicted the Kremlin position that the rebels are all but
vanquished. Russians trumpeted their military successes Monday by
staging a victory parade in Grozny.

None of the rebels' claims could be independently verified, but
defense analysts in Moscow and Washington agreed that Russia's
claims of victory are premature at best.

Rebels regrouping

In an interview Wednesday at a safe house in neighboring Ingushetia,
a battalion commander who identified himself only as Ahmed, 31, said
the Chechens plan to wait out the winter and regroup in the mountains
while trying to dodge a fierce Russian bombardment of the Argun
Gorge in southern Chechnya.

With the approach of warmer weather, he said, the guerrillas will fight
back ``with an all-out offensive everywhere in Chechnya'' and may
attempt to retake the battered Chechen capital, as they did in the last
war against Russia, in 1994-96.

``We've been on the defense,'' he said. ``Now, in the second stage
we'll be on the offensive.''

Although they have been driven from their capital, the Chechen
fighters portray themselves as a well-supplied force of more than
10,000 men, united by high morale, their Islamic faith and hatred of
the Russian troops.

``The Chechens have the means and the will to fight,'' said defense
analyst Pavel Felgengauer in Moscow. ``I don't think the war is over.''

U.S. Defense Department officials agree that the Russians face an
extended guerrilla war in Chechnya. ``The 300-year war (between
Russians and Chechens) continues,'' said one Pentagon official, who
spoke only on the condition of anonymity. ``This is just another
chapter in it.''

The next turning point, the Pentagon officials said, will be Russia's
presidential election March 26. If acting President Vladimir Putin wins
as expected, he could either interpret his victory as a mandate to
escalate the war or look for a face-saving way out of a conflict that no
longer would have much political value for him.

The Russian forces, who have demolished village after village and sent
more than 200,000 refugees pouring out of Chechnya, have ignited a
fierce patriotism behind the rebels.

Refugee protest

That was evident Wednesday at the Chechen border in Ingushetia, as
hundreds of refugees gathered to protest the Russian action while
observing the 56th anniversary of the Soviet exile of nearly 1 million
Chechens in 1944.

``The fighters have the complete support of the people,'' said a
38-year-old woman who identified herself as Satsita. ``Every woman
would be a fighter, too, if she didn't have kids.''

Aimani Chapanova, a middle-aged woman whose two brothers are
among the fighters, said she makes white uniforms for the snowy
terrain and smuggles the clothes in small parcels into the mountains.

Zikha Isayeva, 45, said she and other women collect money from
neighbors to help finance the war effort. ``We take money to the
fighters and they use it to buy weapons,'' she said. The fighters, holed
up in isolated locations, stay in touch with their civilian support group
by messages passed through relatives, as well as by shortwave radio.

Another woman said the rebels unfailingly get word to relatives about
a slain fighter, telling them how he was killed and where the body is
buried.

Ahmed, the battalion commander, said nearly 8,000 fighters are
spread throughout the Argun Gorge, near Georgia, and several
thousand others are in the Vedno Gorge, the Noshi-Yurt district and
other southern areas.

hey, FAKE 'american':
i have reason to suspect you arent even american, so be sure and laugh that off too, while you're at it.

NEW CORRECTION:
"you're on a ROLE"
is "you're on a ROLL".
gee, how did you ever graduate from an american high school with such poor spelling, FAKE american?

and i betcha you dont even know what "crack" is.
hock-ptoo!

When Russia is split up into small pieces, what will it be like? What allegiances will there be?

Judging from what the Interior Ministry troops and
the Federal troops did to each other when they
were put in competition, there may be a blood bath
with thousands of little oblates fighting one
another.

Impossible? But then the present situation was
impossible to imagine in the pre-Afghanistan days,
wasn't it?

You will be out of a job, when the world switches to Arabic, so stop wasting time correcting other people's English.

Laughing? Give it time! Just imagine, Arabic has 33 consonants, before you even get to vowels. With a larger alphabet, the information content of each letter is greater, so you can say more with less words.

ponder:

"when the world switches to arabic?"

never mind your disregarding of the context of my 'correction'...

but i think there are a few millard individuals who will be, how you say, reluctant to switch to arabic.

i wouldnt hold your breath....unless you intend to suffocate.

Tit for tat...

IT AIN"T OVER WROTE ______The rebels are fortified by an army of civilians -- predominantly

SO QUIT WHINNING ABOUT INNOCENT CIVILIANS THEN

(yawn) Let's SUPPOSE Russians are killing innocent (big eye roll here) civilians. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Exactly, nothing, n o t a s i n g l e t h i n g.

The real innocent civilians left the area a long time ago.Send the rest to Paradise.

"Russia joining Nato:- They don't want to join!"

That's a good reason to think it's too early.

"Kosovo...We should redraw the boundaries and settle realistic legal basis."
- What legal basis? The entire action flouted international law.
It's a conflict between albanians and serbs. US decided to ally with albanians. If a war flout international war, it's the least. But in peace time there should be legal basis upon the issue of the war. The winner have to decide of these legal basis. The problem now, is that the winner (nato) is not doing that.
BTW I don't contest the fact nato flouted international law.

No basis in international law for "redrawing boundaries"
Boundaries exists to be redrawn. That's called History.

THEN PUT THE WHOLE THING UNDER THE EUROPE COMMUNITY POWER.
(
"_ You mean the EU, currently squabling about what currency it should use and who can and can't eat what?????? Think again. "

The EU is introducing the Euro currency...What's the problem? American are laughing. Too good for them.
Squabling about what can we eat is great. It's very important. Do you want to be geneticaly modified, my dear Kim? You are what you eat!

Also, Kim, read what I wrote:
" but here again the EC should have some common power of decision. That's also not granted."
I'm a defender of the EU but I'm critic.

My point is that EU is a factor of stability (inside the EU as well as for candidates to adhesion).
It was created to avoid war in Europe and it worked. In the Yougoslavia case, it would apply perfectly if ever there were some political will.

The EU or EC concept is good but they lack political will.
