Ingush authorities report reconciliation of feudist families

After requests from theologians and authorities, six families in Ingushetia abandoned their declared blood feud.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on December 3, 2023, Chechen authorities reported that a reconciliation ceremony of two families from Ingushetia and Chechnya took place in Grozny; one of the families had declared blood feud to the due to the perished relative.

In Ingushetia, dozens of families, "meeting the requests made by theologians and authorities," decided to abandon their mutual hostility and conflicts, the head of the republic, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov, has stated in his Telegram channel.

He treated the achieved results as "good." "Nevertheless, I find it necessary to intensify the work of the conciliation commission. It is necessary to more often inform republic's residents, especially young people, about the need to observe traffic rules, and to be restrained in actions that can lead to conflicts, sometimes with tragic consequences," says the channel.

In North Ossetia, the idea was voiced out that blood feud as a consequence of murder had kept people from violence, the author of the blog "Female Blogger. North Caucasus" that she runs on the "Caucasian Knot" has pointed out.

Let us remind you that in Chechnya, neighbouring on Ingushetia, authorities are regularly reporting on reconciliation of feudist families. Reconciliation often occurs under authorities' pressure, although in such cases hostility may actually continue, Ruslan Kutaev, the President of the Assembly of Caucasian Nations, has noted.
