In the aftermath of the bombing in Moscow that killed 35 people Monday, January 24, the international press highlights the ineffectiveness of anti-terrorism President Dmitry Medvedev, ten months after the attacks of March 29 that killed 40 people and wounded hundred others. And if any journalist or columnist wants to engage with certainty, all believe that the track remains the most likely Caucasian and that this attack is an illustration of the failure of Russian policy in the Caucasus.
"The Russian president himself had acknowledged last November, the ineffectiveness of anti-terrorism for which he was appointed a year ago a special representative, said the journalist Pierre Avril, Le Figaro. The latter focused écnomique to develop the situation in the region, even to provide for the construction of five ski resorts.
For now, this strategy has failed, "he notes. As for the results of armed struggle against the bandits, he says, the statistics reported by the police are 'containers', had criticized the Russian president. " "Russian policy in the [Caucasus region] does not work," added Axel and Alla Gyldene Chevelkina in L'Express.
A policy based on the following logic: "The government says the keys to the Caucasus leaders loyal to him and can act in defiance of law, for they guarantee him that terrorist acts will be limited solely to the Caucasus." But journalists and experts insist that this failure does not go back only to last ten months.
"We pay the price of a protracted civil war," Alex Gabuev analysis, a journalist with the Russian daily Kommersant, in the pages of Time SwitzerlandThe: "Let us stop believing in magic words of politicians who say that the Chechen problem is solved. (...) In my opinion, it is urgent to combat corruption in the North Caucasus.
(...) It is time for Moscow to negotiate with local leaders, the mullahs, and that siloviki [security officers , police or military] adopt their method of harassing the population. For in doing so they become part of the problem. " "We are guilty of being too absent from the Caucasus by means other than police repression," said political scientist meanwhile Sergei Markov was quoted by Liberation.
And for the expert Nikolai Petrov, Carnegie think tank, "all policies of the Kremlin are the DIY short term do not confront the root causes of instability in a region ravaged by civil war for more than fifteen years. "Since 1999, Russia has undergone, on average, at least one major terrorist attack a year," says Anne Applebaum, a specialist in the region, on Slate.
fr. Attacks have become so routine that a "routine" has even installed, according to the Washington Post. "An explosion of confusion, swarming with ambulances, official promises of justice, continues to be confusion and a few hours later, families in hospitals trying to find out if their relatives are inside" Such is the macabre ritual described by reporters Will Englund and Kathy Lally.
But this time something is different: the place of the attack. The authors of the attack had "attacked the most vulnerable point of the airport, the unsecured area located beyond the Customs," informed the journalists of the Washington Post. "While the departures area is extensive, with plenty of check-in desks, where they recovered the bags [where the bomb went off] is it in the middle of the arrivals area and focuses much people, "said Will Geddes, a security expert with CNN.
Joe Sharkey, New York Times, summarizes the problem: "How totally secure something as big and sprawling that an international airport? You can not." Even for a recent airport like Domodedovo, Moscow, which wants to be a showcase of modern country for foreigners arriving in Russia. "The bomb killed and injured visitors to the West", an element rare enough to be raised, according to Ellen Barry of The New York Times.
"This attack has seriously tarnished the image of Moscow just when Medvedev was preparing to woo foreign investors at the Davos World Economic Forum," she adds. But the question of Moscow's image and safety in Russia could become a real problem in the next few years. "There is a concern for the Winter Olympics of 2014 to be held in Sochi, near the Black Sea near the Caucasus tinderbox," notes the analyst Alexander Goltz independent, in L'Express .
"Russia (...) who obtained the organization of the World Cup football in 2018, must now demonstrate its ability to secure its own territory at the time of such huge international gatherings," adds Alexander billet in Le Temps. Now the question is how will react Medvedev, who is known to be less clever than Putin in this kind of situation.
Because, "as [Medvedev] will know that his credibility and that of his government lie among the victims", asserts Bryony Jones, CNN. Dmitry Medvedev has reacted very quickly, immediately postponing his visit to Davos. So fast that some have accused him of "promoting its image on the backs of the victims," according to Alex Gabuev, the Kommersant reporter.
"Every time the heinous attacks of violence justified new turns of the screw. Putin-Medvedev duo will do the same today, with the consent of both new Western partners united against a common enemy" understands Francis sergeant in the editorial of Liberation. "The replica of the Russian security could be particularly strong, especially since the attack against the airport Domodedovo comes as the country begins a long election year, before the presidential election of March 2012," warns Ellen Barry in New York Times.
"For some analysts, she said, the elections could generate a wave of attacks to weaken the Russian President and his mentor, Vladimir Putin, whose candidacy for the election of 2012 is strongly considered." And answers "manly" to Putin's attacks fizzle out, according to Stanislav Belkovsky, a political analyst in Moscow quoted by Time magazine: "You can not inflate the chest for the 150th time when the 149 previous times have not produced results.
The Russian people will not be fooled again. " Helen Bekmezian
