Genocide

Especially since we in the U.S. have just elected an African American president it seems that racism no longer exists, or at least on the level it used to. Outside of the U.S. however, racism still exists, and there are even several acts of genocide that receive little coverage. In Chechnya, Russian military attacked Chechens in response to bombings that the Russians believed were carried out by Chechen militias. The Russians first entered Chechnya on September 30, 1999 and began bombing and attacking Chechen cities leaving much of Chechnya devastated. After the Russians assassinated the most feared leader of the Chechen militia, disapearences were reduced, but torture continued.
