but. children. when they were still very young. being able to handle a gun is one of the most important skills for. a good shot. during the chechen war. group of separatists fighting against russia in a bid to achieve independence for chechnya. but when the ideological. killing people for money. to the federal forces they guaranteed amnesty hundreds of gunmen

surrendered at that time. to handle weapons. directed against. its possible my children. during the war. killed. valid revenge even the prospect of imprisonment or death could break his oath. that killed my son with impunity like to kill them with impunity then methods and that justice in doing so. hundreds of families in a caucus is just like the. many vendettas can be handed down from generation to generation.

special reconciliation commissions have been set up in each district and village in the hope of achieving peace like here in the republic of russia's south and bordering chechnya. where there. is chairman of a reconciliation commission he has personally settled more than fifty family feuds in his district in the past twenty years. he stood his ground even when sworn enemies refused to allow him into their homes because they weren't willing to forgive murderous some even threatened to kill him. to members of the family were lost when they were killed in a fight it was involuntary manslaughter. only find out how difficult it is to forgive a murder when somebody of your clan is killed. but you must forgive in any case if

good decent or honorable people plead with you on behalf of allah a muslim is supposed to be a forgiving person. the murderous spends more than ten years in prison but when he left he was still fearful of revenge but. to sway to the old man to forgive the mudra and cool off the feud whew. there was a time when i brought the elders here. a god fearing people. but i wasn't actually there myself when they finally discussed what to do about the matter but at last they all agreed that the crime should be forgiven. made a conscious decision to set an example for the entire caucuses so that all those people could be forgiven. the reconciliation

ritual as a grand affair. by the side of the vendetta once the events to be filmed the killer is accompanied by elders from his clan and sometimes as many as several thousand people take part. in this case the man caused a fatal road accident he wears a long hooded overcoat symbolizing that he's ashamed to look into the eyes of the family of the victim the hood is removed to signify forgiveness. before the. members of the to cleanse embrace pray together and celebrate their reconciliation cases of involuntary manslaughter easier to forgive than murder. in the one nine hundred ninety s. separatists established their own interpretation of sharia law they had no use for

reconciliation the world was shocked by scenes of public executions summary justice like this was typical in chechnya or the one nine hundred ninety s. . this woman who contracted the murder of her husband is about to be executed by his side is the assassin you have been found guilty under article one six seven and one six eight the sentence is death by firing squad. or interested with the execution neither before nor after. being so visible to the public. in the one nine hundred ninety s. . the supremes court that facts didn't deter him from admitting his mistakes when he sided with the federal authorities today he is chechnya and one of its chief

peacemakers. says in the holy koran the day few forgive your muslim brother i will be indebted to you on judgment day. says i will forgive all of your sins that's what's written in the koran at the. head of chechnya ramzan kadyrov took a radical step to resolve the problem of blood vendettas he appealed to the people to forgive each other he also instructed the moms to use all possible means to reconcile sworn enemies i am the first week so forty nine reconciliations and after two years there have been five hundred forty five am to live with the one rule anyone committing the. knows that he will be killed. we asked them to bury the hatchet not just once not just ten times

but a hundred we came in every time of day or night to plead with them to come to terms . but they scolded and cursed us they spat at us and shoot us away. they didn't even allow us to approach their home. and we put we hold no grudge against them we took an understanding view of the state of their mind. has two sons according to coke asian tradition children display strict to be dns to their fathers and help their parents to do the chores. third son hussein used to help to when he was born the entire tree guy of clan celebrated the event. he was my first son. when he was born all of us were so happy because he was a boy while all of my brothers had daughters with. hussein was

twenty years old when he was shot and killed by a fellow villager during an argument or march a guy of hope that the peace makers would never visit him. and i absolutely had no desire to make up with him my plans all i wanted was to kill that man i didn't care what would happen to me. the murderer was given eight years but to guy of and to down his own sentence he waited for the day when the man would be released from prison he had already planned out the revenge in his own mind. i have imagine hanging on this memory him for eight years once that's done i would stuff his remains into a car and take them to his family like i would take them to the market place i think about it every day and night every hour and every second. with little with

this the worst thing that could happen to anybody. he has taken away everything. of. a man without a family is nothing but that samir. here he is hussein's leading the song this is who say. hussein was religious this old footage shows him among a group of chechens performing a special kind of prayer. bishan was to be a theological scola but that would never be. a little but. they say time heals all wounds for frankly though this is not quite true. memories of those days will linger deep in my heart. i see him in my dream he says mother i can't go home. not coming home.

you. know who the guy of nell says present home with his youngest sons and a grandson who is called hussein in honor of his murdered uncle. had to forgive the killer. spiritual leaders. agreed to. the village and stayed out of his sight. he promised not to chase down the mudra but deep down he could never truly forgive him. the mooted ability to do this with you can't even imagine how difficult it is to restrain myself to prove that this is a hellish unbearable effort i have to be patient and restrain the others like i

would restrain a good racehorse i have to restrain my brothers and his brothers. the koch asian vendetta custom came into being long before the advent of islam. locals lived in small mountain the settlements known as watchtower as. their ruins can still be found scattered around the countryside of chechnya and english at the end . if anyone committed murder they had to flee their village and seek refuge in one of the more remote watchtower us. sometimes relatives had to flee with them because local custom permitted revenge against the whole family not just the murder of. the vendetta was a restraining factor throughout the centuries no mudra would ever be allowed to go unpunished.

but one of the best for the well. but it just showed we. still believe that we could wash his butt of that was a stroke. to speak your language. programs and documentaries. it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the p.r. people interviewers intriguing story for you to. see in troy. visit.

more news today says once again flared up. in these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china corporations are today. and. believe. me if the economic up and downs in the fine at all among the london deal sang i and the rest because i take it will be every week on all things. and. there's

a media leave also we leave that maybe. i will see motion soon surely play your party there's a goal in their shoes that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. . let. the good speak. you. wish. me

good. luck to me a little. teaches his seven year old son to drive a car the boy can barely contain his excitement when he gets the chance. he constantly ask for permission to drive the car i first drove a car when i was nine or ten years old i just tell him to wait another couple of years and then he can drive by himself. from driving.

by taking responsibility for what he say's he's often told about what his grandfather did to avenge his son's death proved true to his word. my father often said to me listen my son if you say something if you let out a single word be sure to make good on you. a vendetta is a procedure strictly regimented by shari'a law there are explicit rules about who should be and when they also dictate what kind of weapon must be used and how. did not comply with the accepted rules. when he killed his. soldiers died. on the one hand i felt relief because nobody could now say that neither my sons nor myself had taken revenge.

on the other hand i felt disappointed because i had made the mother and the father of killed suffer. was moved to tears each time a son visited her more than ten years had passed but still she vividly remember that fateful day when a gunman came to take away. they couldn't find him and took his son ismail hostage instead he has not been seen alive since. when i looked out the window i saw a group of gunmen. i don't know where they've come from. i went there and shouted where are you is my own they told me to get away but i didn't then i saw them tying his miles hands and dragging him out of the house he just looked at me and that was the end of it.

his personal bodyguards he. had to be. they both became soldiers. by the. youngest brother. customs. take revenge for their father. to be loyal to no one other than my father. there to go. after joining the russian troops began his fight against carrying out special operations looking for explosives and holding them. they have been seven attempts on his life and he's been wounded four times. have always been by his side sharing the risk of protecting him. death or die with me.

completely aware of what i'm doing. destined to die i want them to die with dignity. oh. reflecting on the value of life is not something everyone in the caucuses likes to do on the contrary to dying for a family on a muslim values can be seen as a matter of exceptional valor i thought this is the first time that one of the main objects of muslim worship have from the beard of the prophet muhammad. has been brought to. the just about every other day i judge it on.

such events like nothing else. several sworn enemies and reconciliation after their pilgrimage to the prophet's head. the head of. god's reconciliation as one of the main national projects. the republic has only a small population. hostile families could be a source of real tension. when your country and its people have very hard time was enemies stand united. physics. prompted me to make it clear that bandits. basis if you want to avenge yourself. do it in a different manner join the police force. for

their revenge. is eighty two years old he heads one of the most powerful families in and. he's also head of the republican conciliation commission. seeks to reconcile but refuses to forgive the murder of his son. i spent more than a million dollars trying to find the murderers of my son. i've traveled far and wide. who could have done it and why. we have an idea about who the mastermind is. we don't know who shot him. as a businessman. king because that's what he sold. the opposition leader in english.

before leaving his house. because he sensed. both his competitors and political opponents stood to benefit from his death. this is the last known footage of my sharif before he died he's attending the wedding of his youngest son adam who abducted his bride just before she was about to be engaged to another man only someone from a very powerful clan could afford to do that. at the ceremony he had no idea that the car carrying his son actually put would be strafed with bullets just a few weeks later. the funeral. showed off the signs of the.

week. now if the man who masterminded the murder comes to me. and says that he killed my son. i will forgive him. but i won't forgive him if i find him after spending a long time looking for him. as things stand now i can forgive him but they. will never do it bush. the great grandson who was born soon enough to death was given the same name and his own. no regards him as the most important person in the household but. he's saying take that camera away.

the entire family gets together for a special occasion it's the young women bustle in the kitchen the older ones stay with the men there's a separate table for the youngsters and the chefs always follow this tradition life goes on. i was. still present a powerful threat the sprawling plan is engaged in big business. they can never forget that the most important klan member has gets to be avenged. each family has at least three children the old boys the better was that thought to provide better protection for the family when they grow up. was.

everyone ready. after a special operation. his youngest son meets him at the door. eerily prophetic yes he will seek vengeance if i'm killed i mean yes. but today he was summoned to work. went to meet a friend protected it was there that a contract killer three bullets in his head. never forgive myself and. i wish i had died protecting my father. myself for the rest of my life. moment why was i not by my side.

visit to the cemetery with his young son. who already knows that his grandfather and uncle lie that. reverberates throughout the centuries. don't need to be ashamed of it and you don't need to care what people say what's important is that your soul is a piece. doesn't matter who killed my father everyone should take responsibility for their actions. it turned out that. had masterminded his death they had never

forgiven his betrayal when he sided with federal forces. the special unit killed the gunman several months later. my only regret is that he. he didn't do it himself. and so for now at least modern secular laws and the old ways of the mountains continue to live side by side. and if the main competitor on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with goods. fight for each drop from an

old dirty supply. let people think i are prices pure water. life on aunty. may use it up there and wash their hands in it and flush their toilets when the same water. nestle's is selling and spraying water. choose your language. holy week you know if they. choose that the consensus to. choose the opinions that invigorating to. choose the stories that in high life choose the access to often.

this is a media lead us so we leave that maybe. i will soon push to secure. all your party is a goal. bush is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politicking only on our t.v. .
