Nylva Hiruela / Reading the journalist Ramon Lobo in his blog "International Waters" I saw a post about the "news (almost) invisible 2010", with which I agree fully. It makes a permanent list of territories necen in silence or neglect of the media, such as Somalia, Chechnya, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iraq, Gaza, Pakistan, C ongo and Haiti. Does anyone really know what is happening in these places? Although there are hundreds of territories, and what does not appear in the media, not spoken, and almost nonexistent. seem to have Dad or a small boost with Wikileak s on the right to be informed, but the bad news is that they have been the major media who have disclosed this. As I said Javier Bauluz, prem io Periodismohumano.com Pulitzer and director, during the debate "Journalism in the Age of Wikileaks" held in CaixaForum Mad rid, "Wikileaks is very good news for journalism and an embarrassment to the mainstream media "because" they have taken charge of a job this small organization has had to do for them. " The trouble is that this information has not been transferred a political reaction, for example, as in the case of murdered Joseph camera Couso.
And although the media entertaining rather than informing, explaining described e idiot than sensitize, provided there are journalists who take risks to tell the truth, and assume their responsibility and work as a ethical duty o. According to Reporters Without Borders, in 2010, 57 journalists have been killed, 51 abducted, 535 arrested, threatened or assaulted 1374 ... Speaking of unseen news, and journalists who risk everything to tell the truth in this article I want to talk about Chechnya , not because I have more or less important than others, but for something so subjective as I read relatively recently Chechnya, Russian disgrace of Anna Politkovskaya a periods dis ta Russian that visited Chechnya in more than forty times, telling the Histor ia the Chechen population that suffers a crushing of human rights day. This journalist was murdered the October 7, 2006. Her murder remains unpunished . We can also talk about the murder of Natalia Estemirova defender s human rights in Chechnya, belonging to the NGO Memorial .
do not intend in this article talk about the history of Chechnya, because there is insufficient space. I intend only to make a brief reflection. Nor am no expert on Eastern Europe, although I find it really interesting history. My intention is to explain where is Chechnya, why you are interested in what situation and ind, the role of Russian media and the role of Putin. I'm content with that some of the readers who know the subject, will pique the curiosity bug. Chechnya is only one sure speaking regions, just as there are journalists - and this is a very dangerous area, " and humanely too, because the support is conspicuous by its absence. Although I should mention Memorial NGO working on the investigation and reporting of human rights abuses.
Where? Chechnya is a republic of Russia, located in the North Caucasus, an area of \u200b\u200bgreat ethnic diversity. Grozny is the capital. As he explains, Carlos Taibo, professor of political science at the Autonomous University of Madrid and expert on Central and Eastern Europe, in his book Chechen conflict, "Most Chechens are Sunni Muslims (...) must agree with however, that until very little outward signs of religious identity were weak. " The Chechen human rights have been trampled time and again by the Russian Army that was trying to curb the problem of separatist guerrillas.
What is the status? If you want to truly know what happened to the Chechen people and the intricacies of Chechnya, then I recommend reading Politkovskaya. Chechnya is ruled by the puppet of the Kremlin, Kadyrov. However, in its day was a former mufti of Chechnya came to declare jihad to Moscow during the first war. Then he changed his jacket and Putin appointed him "head of the Chechen Republic .
After the attacks of September 2001, Putin took the opportunity to put the Chechen guerrillas in the axis of evil of Al Qaeda. profited Putin came out, there began to grow a political tolerance in practicing the old Chechen president. All the propaganda that had been poured on the Chechens, it seemed to begin to be heard. regard to Islamic terrorism, the journalist had made it clear: Europe must stop shaking when hear the siren song of Putin on the issue of alleged Chechen Islamists, "as well," denying [the Kremlin] categorically the ability to negotiate with Maskhadov [Western], supported for many months the duo formed by Basayev and Khattab [Islamist]. " The journalist said that "those who benefit from the war in Chechnya does not want peace." The war has caused a rise in criminal rusochechenas brigades, which are principally engaged in the oil business.
Why is interest? Chechnya has a geopolitical and geo-economic importance that corresponds to the Caucasus. As highlighted by Carlos Taibo, from this area, you can control the movements of powers like the EU, Russia and China, and on the other, is near the Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea basin, two rooms with a huge wealth in oil and natural gas.
Putin's role. Politkovskaya made clear its stance toward Putin, in fact, in the book of which I speak, the last chapter is entitled "Why I do not like Putin." The journalist writes: "Putin and his people have been blessed (...) a corruption on the basis of blood, thousands of victims who do not raise or surprise or protest, an army corrupted by military anarchy (...) a wild rhetoric strong state, a antichecheno racism. " In addition, denounced racist propaganda the Kremlin put in place to identify the Chechen terrorists, except those who approve of Putin's policy in Chechnya. Russian media. Are under the tight control of the Kremlin. Taibo explains, that information, or rather the propaganda that is disseminated, is divided into having "the heroic life struggle of the federal units" and to tell what is wrong with the Chechens. The aim is to strengthen the president's popularity.
Why report on Chechnya? Because we speak of an ongoing and continuing violation of human rights. Lylya Yusupova, a champion of human rights NGO Memorial, in an interview by periodismohumano.com, said the NGOs for only the first five months of 2009, recorded 86 kidnappings disappearance, and given that this Memorial is only present in one third of the territory. is very difficult to provide reliable data on deaths, disappearances and refugees in Chechnya. Carlos Taibo, in his book, manages the following figures according to various sources, in the second war, still open, the German newspaper Die Welt identified 90,000 people dead, 80,000 Chechens them. Another source speaks of between 25,000 and 100,000 deaths. In the first war, the death toll has been estimated by some sources at about 60,000, of which 50,000 civilians, 6,000 Russian soldiers and Chechen guerrillas between 2000-3000. "He moved the Chechen civilian death ratio to the news? Because the problem is not only not reporting about Chechnya, but often when it appears on our television screens and newspaper pages speaks only of the wanton acts of terrorism by Chechen rebels committed to the Russians.
But according to all statistics, those who are dying and suffering are mostly Chechen civilians. In addition, the number of refugees generated by the second war was recorded at 180,000 as Doctors Without Borders. 180,000 steps to leave their homes, leaving footprints in their wake, belongings, tears, her own life. The march of 180,000 people has been ignored by the media. Even in a brief note of the press, because of course it is more important to communicate the winter cold and summer heat, on New Year's hangover and ways to relieve it. I suffer a permanent hangover from the binge of the media, who have forgotten their responsibility: to inform citizens.
Pilar Mateo says in the book News Media, cooperation and humanitarian action, that "I l media play a leading role in building a culture of peace ," not to bring peace, hopefully. If you have reported atrocities are being committed without being players in the media, all these murders, rapes and disappearances cease to exist for the rest of the world. My hangover fades every time they appear light in the media, as periodismohumano.com, the report rec four on Congo ... Although lately I have been worse hangover the disappearance of CNN + and its replacement by GH ubiquitous 24 hours, and then what ?.... Happy Year!
