‘Abkhaz forces launch offensive against Georgia’

It appears The South Ossetians have annexed the middle third of Georgia behind Russian force and the Abkhaz are now doing the same in the western third.

If the Georgian and NGO reports coming from there are to be believed, both regions seems to be suffering campaigns of ethnic cleansing via looting, rape, pillage, arson etc.

The Russians are warning the Georgians to stop fighting these campaigns or “suffer the consiquences.”
