The Chechen independence

We may have heard recent news about terrorist attacks in Russia. All this attacks are due to the Chechen people trying to get independent from the current Russian power.

This Chechen people live in a region known as Chechnya. This territory first gained independence after the dissolvment of the Soviet Union in 1991. However, Russia tried to recover this territory and after a second war, they took it back.

Since that moment, Chechnya has still tried to become independent again because they don't share the same overall culture than the rest of Russia. The problem with the Russian government is that they are not willing to give in easily that territory and are looking to maintain it in their power despite the menaces the Chechen people have told the Russian federation.

I believe Russia should evaluate if this region is really important for them to keep it as theirs. It may be more problematic that a new independent country is born from this Chechen region, but for Russia, a lot of terrorists attacks would start decreasing. Russia should also see that possessing a lot of territories is not always the best thing; they should also be aware that giving the Chenchen people the same treat as the rest of the Russian people is what they should be trying to do.

Of course this problem is not an easy-to-solve problem as it brings out so many positive and negative consequences. I think Russia must be really careful about what it does regarding its decisions. If it looks to maintain a peace treaty, it should be discret about it, and if it decides to conceive independence or not, it still has to be sure that it is doing what's best for the people and what can have the best positive consequences.
