In this article it talks about how countries from the CIS came together in the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh. The CIS is the Commonwealth of Independent States, which is made of of alliance members from post Soviet countries. Basically they are all concerned that people are not taking terrorism seriously. They say they are very underfunded, and are not able to pursue and capture terrorists. This worries them because they think that in the near future much terrorism is going to break lose. They also think they need to further and more harshly pursue the capture of current terrorists.
I find this article to be good, but also very intriguing. It is interesting to me that with how corrupt Russia is that they are taking a step towards fixing something so minute almost in comparison to everything else happening in their country. It also makes me wonder though why the sudden compassion to better their security? I'm thinking it must be a financial thing. It seems when ever Russia does or wants something it has to do with money. This article was posted pretty recently though so I'd like to see what has happened since then.
I'm almost a 100% positive that this is a Russian article. For one it is called Rianovotsi which is a very Russian name. Also the articles I have read have been written and published by Russian sounding people such as Alexei Panov. Also it is stationed in Moscow, and all of the staff is Russian as well. Also the majority of the news is centered around Russia. And almost all of the links one the website (excluding Facebook, twitter, etc..) direct you to yet another Russian sight, so I can only assume my source is actually a Russian newspaper/blog.
Excellent analysis!
