Onlooker,
It's a two-way traffic.
It's still around 200k number but it did decrease by about 15000 I believe.

Fenriz Culto,
Thank you. My impression was that media tends to exaggerate the problems and was overreporting it on purpose.
Onlooker,
Your assertion is correct.
Sometimes it bugs me how civilians are being "used" (in Kosovo as well) as the tool of the propaganda.
As far as Chechnia, there was quite a decline in the volume of "civilian catastrophy" reports after the President of International Refugee Org. ( Ms. Ogata I believe her name is) visited camps and declared that, unlike in Kosovo (she was there too), there is no human catastrophy exists.

While I support the current campain idea (not the way it's conducted) I also agree that Chechnia should be amputated from RF, on a few conditions of course I posted previously (current campain tries to address them).

CONDITIONS THERE SHOULD BE NO CONDITIONS THE CHECHENS PEOPLE SHOULD DECIDE THERE OWN DESTINY.

The democratic referendum is one of the conditions. As you said, people WHO LIVE OR USED TO LIVE in Chechnia (chechens AND non-chechens)should decide the independence issue, NOT Khattab and Co or whoever else. Also people who were murdered before the 1st war by "wolves" should be included in a vote as "NO".

In terms of mental peace and contentment the poorest of the poorest among Muslims in a Muslim governed state is better than the richer of the richest Westerner in a Westernised state. You have either no idea or was never exposed to exclusive "Muslim enrichments" by virtue of they being followers of Islam.
