No Joy for Chechens on Eid
Thousands of Muslim refugees from war-torn Chechnya housed in this tent city across the border in Ingushetia held quiet celebrations on Saturday to mark the end of Ramadan. Reduced to homelessness and abject poverty by the second conflict with Russia within four years, only a handful could observe the custom of slaughtering a sheep to mark the festival of Eid al-Fitr after darkness fell on Friday. But invited into a tent that is home to an extended family of 25, I was treated as an honored guest by the occupants, who insisted with traditional Chechen hospitality on offering their food.
