Akhmed Sagov, the head of the "Bart" Ingush Cultural and Educational Centre, who attended the rally against the Yangulbaevs in Grozny and called on residents of Ingushetia to take part therein, has no right to speak on behalf of the Ingush nation, Instagram users have pointed out.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 1, the Chechen officials sharply condemned the members of the Yangulbaev family and cursed and insulted its members, threatening to execute them. Ramzan Kadyrov compared the members of the Yangulbaev family with Khattab and Basaev. On February 2, residents of Chechnya went out to a rally in central Grozny on order to voice curses, following the republic's leadership, against the Yangulbaev family. The pro-government Chechen media have treated the rally as spontaneous and reported that 400,000 people took part therein.

Read the “Caucasian Knot” reference material “How Yangulbaevs became Kadyrov’s enemies” to find how the conflict began, what accusations Ramzan Kadyrov voiced, what the Yangulbaev family answered the leader of Chechnya, and what role in the development of the situation was played by an opposition Telegram channel.

On February 2, Akhmed Sagov took part in the rally in Grozny. Along with other speakers at the rally, he demanded that the Yangulbaev family be held accountable, the "FortangaORG" Instagram account reports and posts a photo from the rally, in which one of the men is tagged.

The post also notes that in social networks, Sagov called on the Ingush people to take part in the rally and expressed "unpleasant things" against the Yangulbaevs.

In their comments, social network users have state that Sagov doesn't represent the Ingush nation. "Does he really have no relatives and no teip? Why won't they stop him? How dare he pretend to represent the Ingushes? Who has authorized him?" the user a177577 has asked. "If the Sagovs can't answer for their member, then, the whole world and all the teips should make sure that he doesn't voice out anything anywhere on behalf of the Ingush nation!" the user _a.___o6__ has noted.

Some users have offered Sagov to change his residence for Chechnya and even "deport him." "Sagov should be sent into exile to Chechnya forever. He will be in place there," the user dana_4694 has noted.
