Today marks the 14th anniversary of the death of Dzhoxar Dudaev, the first president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria.

Our leader Dudaev was killed by a Russian guided missile strike near the Gekhi-Chu village of Chechnya while he was reportedly discussing possible peace talks with a prospective Russian mediator via a satellite phone on 21 April 1996.

Dzhoxar Dudaev loved his nation very much, and he believed in it. During his short life, he always work for his nation. He has done everything possible to avoid outbreak of war, but, however he couldn’t prevent the Russian occupation in our homeland to realize their imperialist dreams.

Fourteen years later, our legend leader Dudaev is dead, but the desire for independence lives on, stronger than ever. Our brave men who take freedom fireband over are bold, are in independence love, and are behaving for our nation as Dudaev. We laugh away to ignorant people who believes disinformations and balance of the power has changed. As expressed with an apothegm, the night is darkest just before the dawn! We will never give up for independence!

Rest in peace, Dzhoxar!
