“Avtodor” refugee camp residents remain in trouble

Editor

The situation in the refugee camp remains uneasy so far, while representatives of the ‘Avtodor’ enterprise where the tent camp is located, are trying to squeeze the residents out the territory.

Just the other day, Khazbulat Sultygove, the lower of ‘Avtodor’ company visited the camp with another threats to force the people out. According to them Sultygov and Ruslan (the man whose three little children tragically died when a tent caught fire) had a quarrel, which could end up with a serious fight.

The next day a police team arrived to the camp but eventually retreated after they talked to people.

Nevertheless, in recent days as the refugees asserted, the pressure on the them continued. On August 14, an asphalt roller started leveling the territory. “Lately, someone bombarded our tents with rocks,” complains Aliyeva Asiet, a resident of the camp. “And at nights several cars arrive and start moving around the camp territory signaling to each other intentionally disturbing sleeping people. I do not know, what next, but we are not ready to move out yet, just
because many have nowhere to go”.

The refugees have sent a letter to Ingushetia’s president, Mr. Ziyazikov begging him for help.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
