After years of negotiations and deal making, talks eventually collapsed.
The partner nations have been working to provide a safe haven for citizens and workers in Georgia, this was agreed to be placed in Abkhazia, however as time went on suspected Russian influence and other foreign interference have caused political leaders to bow to those who are calling this an “invasion”.
Georgia's Prime Minister's hands are tied and he is reluctant to stand up, out of a very real fear that Moscow will fuel further turmoil. Suffice it to say, we cannot stay without possibly igniting a conflict that may result in catastrophic losses on both sides.
There are still hundreds of civilians and military personnel who require evacuation, this may take a few hours, but mechanised militia are on the move, and in the meantime the regular armed forces suspected to be linked to Moscow have set up command posts and air defences in Abkhazia.
There have also been scattered intelligence reports of disturbances in South Ossetia, and recent reports of Russian naval activity in the region, and an increase in air traffic, so caution is highly advised.
The evacuation is paramount and any action to protect the flights and ground assets leaving Abkhazia is deemed necessary and any fallout will be dealt with after this operation, as it is the better option than being overrun or overstaying our welcome.
