And well there. there ... It is Paradise!

Look!

Cheers!

Hello.

Thank you for your attention.

I'll tell you about a conflict

happening right now.

across Europe.

in Chechnya.

This war. planned

since a while.

began on September 5

by aviation attacks

Russian on Chechen soil.

followed by the entry of Russian troops

in the territory. on 1 October 1999.

This is indeed an armed conflict.

and not an anti-terrorist operation

as presented by the Russian authorities.

Since mid-October. the troops

Russian advance towards the south.

Advanced accompanying their

massive bombing

without distinction

between combatants ...

and civilian population.

For example.

October 21.

a missile exploded in Grozny. making

more than 150 dead in a mosque.

a market and a maternity ward.

Grozny is now systematically

and massively bombed ...

Massively bombed round the clock ...

despite the presence

of more than 40 000 civilians.

There seems to be no will

target strikes.

The only goals seem to be ...

destruction ...

destruction and death.

No way out

was offered to civilians

wishing to leave the cities

or bombed villages.

In taking

possession of a place.

Russian troops

widely practiced looting ...

and extortion.

Rape ...

and summary executions are held

almost systematically.

The Russian military manufactures

that the trauma

and a need for vengeance

that will not disappear

for several generations ...

if Europe does not act quickly.

Would that for

show Chechens

that the world has not forgotten them.

Finally. the Russians seem to want

fully control the information.

unlike the first

Chechen war.

This means that President Yeltsin

and Prime Minister Putin

will meet

no opposition in Russia.

So they have their hands

totally free to act.

We'll see why

this war is a war

and not a set

anti-terrorist operations.

Enter!

I am going.

I'm sorry.

I hope you're not disappointed.

No. Do not worry.

Everybody respects your decision.

Good luck.

You will always be welcome.

I apologize for the other day.

- I was a little ...

- No no ...

I was exhausted and I'm happy

you're here.

- It gives me the opportunity to apologize.

- No really ...

You were right

on many points.

I understood that

you meant.

I thought only of myself.

In fact. I came to you because

I made an important decision.

I'll offer me

as a host family

the child whose

I told you.

And I would like to

the official procedure.

You can help me?

Well ...

Where is he?

He waits for me in the yard.

Okay. We can see it?

Of course.

Hadji!

Hadji ...

What is happening?

Nothing.

Hello Hadji.

You have a car?

Yes.

You can come with me?

Why?

I will explain.

Okay.

Let it go.

Raisa!

Hadji!

Come On! Come On!

Come On!

Damn ...

Damn. why it does not work?

Why does it not work?

What a con ...

There ...

Welcome.

Welcome

a big country of sh*t. f*** ...

Chechnya. whore.

Well. there he goes not much ...

because it happens

a little after the battle.

But I'll try to find people.

Well. finally now.

you see a little

crappy mood

in this country. damn.

Ah. I see the world out there.

we will be closer.
