Protesters Storm Abkhazia Parliament Over Russia Deal

Protesters in Abkhazia, a Russian-backed breakaway region of Georgia, stormed the parliament demanding the resignation of the self-styled president over an unpopular investment deal with Russia. The agreement, which allows Russian investment in Abkhazia, has sparked fears among locals of being priced out of the property market. The unrest led to the occupation of the parliament building and the presidential administration offices, with at least eight people hospitalized. The Abkhazian government is now considering withdrawing the agreement.
