Here is the first post of the serie dedicated to the Finah among the Mujahideen of Wilayah Nokhchicho. It’s a simple timeline of the events, as they occured from July until now. In order to be as complete as possible, the references, sources and dates of the events and/or publication are also indicated. Feel free to correct or react in the comments.
Forgive the time, but some things retarded the work on this timeline. One of these things is that I am now engaged in the reading of some books about the Caucasus, especially one about the creation and the existence of the Imamat of the 19th Century (which is a kind of model for the current Emirate) and also of a short ‘fact book’ about the 1991 Chechen revolution. I hope that Insha’Allah I will be able to share here, what I will learn from these books.
