In the breakaway region of Abkhazia, protests erupted as demonstrators stormed the parliament and presidential complex opposing a proposed pro-Russia bill that would facilitate Russian investments and land ownership. Fearing detrimental impacts on their landscape and local property market, protesters called for the resignation of President Aslan Bzhania, leading to the government’s withdrawal of the bill. The Russian foreign ministry advised its citizens in Abkhazia to exercise caution amid the unrest. This is the latest chapter in Abkhazia’s tumultuous political history, marked by earlier protests and governmental changes.
