One side says it is fighting against terrorism, the other side says it is fighting for independence. And all the while, bodies line the street amid the rubble of war. No, this is not the Middle East, not this time. This is the breakaway Russian republic of Chechnya, little mentioned, but no less horrifying. The region is in crisis. It is war-ravaged. And it is war weary and still, it goes on. Russians fighting and dying. Chechens fighting and dying. A cycle of violence where the brutalities seem to have no limit and surrender is not an option.
