Danish Refugee Council resumed its work in Chechnya

Editor

MOSCOW, 7 March, Caucasus Times. On Tuesday, Head of the Russian Branch of the Danish Refugee Council Per Ilsaas told the journalists that starting from this Tuesday morning Danish Refugee Council resumed its humanitarian operations on the territory of the Chechen Republic.

In his words, “security situation in Chechnya allows Danish Refugee Council to resume its work in the previous format”. Danish Refugee Council is one of the biggest humanitarian organizations working on the territory of the North Caucasus.

On February this year Danish Refugee Council had to suspend its operations in Chechnya. This was caused by the statement made by then Acting Prime Minister of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov who stressed that because of the cartoon scandal caused by the publications of Prophet Muhammad’s caricatures in the Danish press Danish organizations should stop its activities on the territory of Chechnya.

Later on under the pressure put by the Kremlin, Ramzan Kadyrov announced that Danish Refugee Council can resume its activities in Chechnya. In the meantime, UN Humanitarian Actions Coordinator in Russia Kasidis Rochanakorn has recently noticed that Chechnya continues to be a dangerous area for the humanitarian workers.

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.
