Shock in Abkhazia: A politician is shot in the halls of power!
A shocking incident has shaken the political landscape in the Russian-backed region of Abkhazia! MP Vakhtang Golandzia was killed while another politician was injured in a horrific shootout in parliament. The Apsnypress news agency reports that Golandzia died as a result of his injuries - a tragic loss for the region!
Acting President Badra Gunba's press office confirmed the MP's death, saying: "After sustaining fatal injuries, MP Vakhtang Golandzia has died." Another lawmaker, Kan Kvarchia, was also injured, but details about his condition are still unclear.
The suspect on the run
The situation escalated when the Interior Ministry of Abkhazia identified MP Adgur Kharazia as the main suspect. He reportedly fled after the incident! Russian news agencies report that another MP is said to have shot the two men - a dramatic scenario that is heating up tempers!
The background to the attack is still unclear and the region is facing a political crisis. Abkhazia, a lush subtropical region on the Black Sea coast, has struggled with instability since the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. After a war that led to Georgia's secession, the region was recognized by Russia and has received massive support ever since.
Political unrest and protests
Tensions in Abkhazia had already been rising before this incident, when protests broke out last month against a controversial investment deal with Russia. Protesters stormed Parliament, leading to the resignation of President Aslan Bzhania. Lawmakers rejected the deal amid concerns that rich Russian investors could drive up property prices and drive out locals.
Moscow, which heavily supports Abkhazia's finances, is pushing to allow Russian investors to acquire property rights and develop the region. Political tensions and the recent murder cast a dark shadow over the future of this disputed region!
