Dagestani resident's grandson brought from Iraq to Russia

Ziyad Sabsabi, a Chechen member at the Russia's Federation Council, has brought a Dagestan boy, whose parents had perished in Iraq, from a Baghdad orphanage home. Akhmed Abdulaev, the boy's grandfather had urged the authorities to help to return his two grandsons, but the younger one was not found.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Akhmed Abdulaev, a resident of Dagestan, had asked, by means of social networks, the Russian president and the head of Chechnya to help in bringing home the two sons of his daughter and her husband, who perished in Iraq. On February 20, the authorities of Chechnya announced the return of the elder grandson to Russia; he had stayed in a Baghdad shelter for about five months. Today, in Grozny, the boy will be handed over to his grandfather and grandmother, said Ziyad Sabsabi, who is also the Chechnya's representative in the Middle East and North Africa. During an air strike, the boy lost a finger of his left hand. Sabsabi said that today Zeid (the name of the boy) began speaking, although earlier, according to orphanage educators, he only used gestures.

"This is one of the few children who can be considered a participant of the Iraqi military conflict. In the course of a West's air attack, his mother was most likely killed; his father perished about the end of 2016," Mr Sabsabi has added.
