[1] At the end of August 2018, some public and human rights organizations in Ingushetia announced construction work on the territory of Ingushetia near the administrative border with Chechnya in the region of the Fortanga River, carried out by Chechen road organizations accompanied by Chechen security officials without the consent of the Ingush authorities, as well as with the leadership of the state nature reserve Erzi, to which this territory belongs.

According to the press secretary of the head of Chechnya, Alvi Karimov, near the border with Ingushetia, the Chechen side began reconstruction work on the road, which, as he noted, was previously destroyed in connection with military actions, and that residents of both republics will be able to use it in the future.

Indignation was also caused by the silence of the Ingush authorities about the events carried out by the Chechen road organizations and security forces.

The leadership of the Republic of Ingushetia announced that by signing this agreement with the head of Chechnya, they made an equivalent exchange of land.

The fact that according to the agreement between Yevkurov and Kadyrov, the exchange of lands is unequal, was confirmed by independent expert cartographers.

On 27 September, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, answering a question about possible consultations with the Kremlin in the process of signing an agreement on fixing the administrative border between the republics of Chechnya and Ingushetia, said that it was held on the initiative of the subjects themselves.

[3] On 5 October a rally in Magas, the capital of Ingushetia, against the border agreement with Chechnya gathered, according to various estimates, from 10 to 60 thousand people.

On 6 October the authorities of Ingushetia agreed on a rally, the participants of which oppose the definition of the administrative border with Chechnya with the transfer of part of the territory to the neighboring republic.

The Chairman of the Parliament of the Chechen Republic Magomed Daudov arrived in the village of Novy Redant with a visit to Elder Akhmed Barakhoev, the leader of the organizing committee of the protest rally.

As it turned out later, Magomed Daudov, before meeting with Akhmed Barakhoev, visited the house of the Mufti of Ingushetia Isa Khamkhoev, but did not find him there.

On 27 October the Mufti of Ingushetia Isa Khamkhoev condemned Magomed Daudov's visit to his home and declared: "If you come to me again, then I am not responsible for my youth!"

Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, commenting on the decision of the Constitutional Court, said that the issue of establishing the border between Ingushetia and Chechnya had been finished, while Ramzan Kadyrov expressed the opinion that the Ingush and Chechen peoples, despite everything, will remain fraternal.

On 26 March 2019, the protests continued - in Magas, an agreed rally was held in front of the building of the state television and radio company Ingushetia, which, according to various estimates, gathered from 2 to 30 thousand people.

The Nalchik City Court of Kabardino-Balkaria arrested Khasan Katsiev and Akhmed Nalgiyev, suspects under part 2 of Article 318 of the Criminal Code (use of violence against government officials) for two months.
