Chechens Among Jihadists in Syria

The Chechen background of the Boston bombing suspects has drawn attention to the roles of Chechens among jihadists fighting the government in Syria, writes Daria Solovieva.

An undated still image taken from video shows the address of Chechen rebels, led by Emir of the Caucasus Doku Umarov (C). Chechen rebel leader Umarov has said his forces will carry out more attacks and that Russia faces a year of "blood and tears" if it refuses to abandon its North Caucasus territories, according to a story on February 5, 2011.

Egypt's NGOs Face New Strictures Under Ruling Party

Egypt's NGOs are facing more restrictions than ever, reports Daria Solovieva from Cairo.

Activists, accused of working for unlicensed non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and receiving illegal foreign funds, stand in a cage during the opening of their trial in Cairo March 8, 2012. An Egyptian judge said on Thursday he was delaying until April 10 the trial of civil society activists including 16 Americans accused of receiving illegal foreign funds and pursuing their pro-democracy activities without a licence.
