Beslan tragedy
The harrowing episode of hostage taking of hundreds of Children in Beslan has drawn the attention of the international community to the often-neglected armed conflict in Chechnya.

Death: A prayer for my brother
A part of me left a long time ago and passed away. My brother died a long time ago. He was a lot older than me. He died when he was a baby. I was born much later.

School siege in Beslan
The pictures of the children being carried out of the school in Beslan, their naked bodies splattered with blood, filled me with sorrow and anger. No excuse exists for the slaughtering of innocent civilians.
 
Hijab/France
In the last French elections, Jean-Marie Le Pen's "Front National" party came second and this result sent shock waves throughout Europe.
 
FM's speech and the press release!
I am referring to the press release by the foreign ministry explaining the reasons for the FM's outbursts. (FM's India Remarks: DS September 12th).
