Chechnya is a republic within the Russian Federation, so Pair 1 is correct. Darfur is a region of western Sudan, not Mali, and the Swat Valley lies in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, not Iraq; therefore Pairs 2 and 3 are incorrect. Hence only pair 1 is correctly matched. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya?utm_source=openai))
