Russia’s North Caucasus region is Europe’s deadliest conflict today, with some 574 deaths already in 2012, and the killing is unlikely to end soon. The simultaneously-released first two reports in the International Crisis Group’s new project examine the sources of conflict in the region and the challenges Russia faces in integrating it into the broader federation. The Challenges of Integration: Ethnicity and Conflict explores inter-ethnic tensions that have festered since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Islam, the Insurgency and the Counter-Insurgency analyses the growth of fundamentalist Islam, the Sufi-Salafi schism, the Islamist insurgency and the government counter-insurgency. A report to be published in early 2013 will elaborate on governance and economic issues and offer specific policy recommendations relevant for the full three-part series. |
