		The situation in Chechnya has reached the stage of an organised challenge to the authority of the legitimately elected President and government of Chechnya by certain field commanders, some influential leaders of teip (clan) power bases and by the activities of radical Islam in the shape of the Wahhabi movement.

		He announced that the Republic of Chechnya is going to sign a “historic” agreement with Russia giving Chechnya large economic powers by which it will not be exempt from taxes to the Russian Federation, instead using them to rebuild its infrastructure.
		To further emphasize his status as the “legitimate” President of Chechnya, as opposed to those who came before him, Kadyrov indicated that Dudayev and Maskhadov did not consult with Chechens on the matter of separation from Russia “because they feared the Chechen people will vote for remaining a part of Russia”.
		Rebuilding Chechnya is nevertheless the largest and most obvious problem facing Ahmad Kadyrov in his efforts to assert his power in a country ravaged by a war that lasted 10 years and left large numbers of refugees and unemployed.

		Popov, made acting president while the incumbent Akhmad Kadyrov went on a campaigning trail, was rushed to hospital at Russia’s main military base in Khankala, where he underwent surgery.
		Popov is not standing for theChechen presidency, which led some observers to assume that the attempt on his life was rather a symbolic gesture, apparently by the rebels, seeking to disprove Moscow’s allegations that it has full control over the situation in Chechnya, rather than an action aimed at murdering the official.
		The election is a key part of Putin's plan to entrench Chechnya within Russia, end a decade of violence and discredit the separatists who ran the region for three years until Moscow dispatched tens of thousands of troops to the region in 1999.
