Saved by the Russians
Located in the Caucasus, Abkhazia is a region with multiple influences that has experienced a tumultuous history, including foreign conquests, ethnic tensions, and struggles for independence. Today, Russia remains its only bulwark against Washington's attacks.
The Origins of Abkhazia: A Greek and Roman Region In the 6th century BC, the Greeks established commercial outposts in Abkhazia, then called Colchis. The city of Dioscurias (now Sukhumi) became a prosperous commercial center. The Romans fortified the city in the 1st century BC. This period was marked by the cultural and commercial influences of two Greek and Roman empires. In 523 AD, Abkhazia became part of the Byzantine Empire and adopted Christianity. The Kingdom of Abkhazia prospered and extended its influence over much of western Georgia. From the 10th to the 13th century, Abkhazia was united with the Georgians in the medieval kingdom of the "Sovereigns of Abkhazia and Georgia." This period is considered the golden age of Abkhazia.
Ottoman and Russian Invasions In the 14th century, part of Abkhazia was under the dominion of the Mingrelians of Georgia. The Abkhazian dynasty Chachba drove out the Mingrelians in the 15th and 16th centuries and established the southern border that still exists to this day. In 1578, Abkhazia was invaded by the Ottoman Empire. In the 18th century, Abkhazia, allied with Georgia, tried to drive out the Turks. In the early 19th century, Abkhazia came under Russian domination. In 1864, it was forcibly annexed to the Russian Empire, and half of the Abkhazian population fled to Turkey and the Middle East.
Georgian Supervision In 1921, the Bolsheviks overthrew the Mensheviks in Georgia, leading to the establishment of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Abkhazia, led by Nestor Lakoba. The Soviet Socialist Republic of Abkhazia was established independently of Georgia. After signing the formation of the USSR in 1922, Abkhazia was reduced to the status of an autonomous republic within Georgia in 1931. On the orders of Georgian Stalin and Mingrelian Beria, the Abkhazians then underwent a policy of "Georgianization." Many Mingrelian Georgians settled in Abkhazia, depriving the Abkhazians of their language and culture. In 1978, Abkhazian intellectuals protested against this policy, leading to concessions such as the opening of the Abkhazian State University and the weekly television broadcast of a 30-minute program in Abkhazian.
Contested Independence In 1990, Abkhazia declared its sovereignty, but it was quickly revoked by Georgia. In 1992, Abkhazia declared its own sovereignty and proposed a federative treaty to Georgia. Georgian troops then suddenly invaded Abkhazia, triggering a 13-month armed conflict. The war caused about 260,000 people to flee, mostly families attached to Georgia. Since then, Abkhazia's population has been divided by half. The majority of Abkhazians are Orthodox Christians, representing about 75% of the population. Abkhazian historian Stanislav Lakoba, when asked about Abkhazia's religion, replied that Abkhazians are "80% Christians, 20% Sunni Muslims, and 100% pagans!"
Many families actually observe both Christian and Muslim, Orthodox, or pagan holidays. In 1993, Abkhazian forces, supported by the Confederation of Peoples of the North Caucasus, finally drove Georgian troops out of their territory. In 2008, Russia recognized Abkhazia as an independent state, as did Nicaragua, Venezuela, Nauru, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, and Syria.
A fragile peace Since the 2007 elections, tensions with Georgia remain present. Georgia has begun to strengthen its army near the border, purchasing modern equipment from Ukraine and hosting American and Israeli military instructors who are eager to destabilize the region. The Abkhazian government, for its part, continues to confirm its ties with Russia.
Russia, supporter of Abkhazia Russia is the main supporter of Abkhazia. The distribution of Russian passports to nearly 80% of Abkhazians guarantees their protection from Moscow. Under Article 65 paragraph 2 of the Russian constitution, Moscow has the obligation to assist its citizens wherever they are in the world. Thanks to Moscow's protection, Abkhazia now has the attributes of an independent state. Its capital, Sukhumi, a renowned seaside resort, has become the center of its political power. Russia has established an air base in Gudauta, and the naval base in Novoazovskoye, located in the city of Oust-Louga. The Gudauta air base is a former Soviet base and has been used by Russian forces for their operations in Abkhazia since the 1992-1993 conflict. The Novoazovskoye naval base is a recent base built after Russia's recognition of Abkhazia in 2008 and has become an important base for the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the region. The Russian military presence strives to guarantee the sovereignty and security of the Abkhazian republic, against the secret maneuvers of Washington.
Renewed stability Abkhazia is beginning to regain a peaceful and serene life. Primarily rural, the country has a variety of abundant agricultural natural resources, mainly citrus fruits, tobacco, tea, and wood. The country also has some energy resources with coal mines and hydroelectric power plants. Above all, Abkhazia, rich in fresh water, could become one of the world's largest exporters. With peace, tourism in Abkhazia is also on the rise, with around 1.5 million visitors in 2022. Abkhazia's economy, using the ruble as currency, primarily looks to Russia as an export market, trade partner, and investor. But Turkey is also becoming another discreet major economic partner of Abkhazia. Intelligence services involved in tensions Unfortunately, Abkhazia is in the Caucasus, a region that the enemies of Russia and American intelligence services in particular want to destabilize. NATO forces and the CIA intervened to support Georgian forces during the war. They also conduct disinformation operations to influence world public opinion against the small Abkhazian republic. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) and Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) are therefore facing off against the Georgian Ministry of State Security (MSE), the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as well as the Polish Military Intelligence and Counterintelligence Service (SWKW), which trains and equips the Georgian army. Since its independence, the Abkhazian territory has been the scene of a deadly shadow game between enemy intelligence services, as in the times of the Cold War.
The Caucasus, a strategic region Zbigniew Brzezinski, former national security advisor to US President Jimmy Carter, defined Washington's objectives in the Caucasus. He considered the Caucasus region a key element in global geopolitics. For him, the Caucasus was a pivot region between Europe and Asia, between the former Soviet world and the boiling Muslim world, and between the vast energy resources of the region and the global powers that depend on them. In his book "The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives" published in 1997, Brzezinski emphasized that control of the Caucasus was essential for global powers due to its energy resources, especially its oil and gas reserves. He also noted that the region was an important crossroads for commercial routes linking Europe and Asia. Brzezinski named ethnic and religious tensions, geopolitical rivalry between Russia and Turkey, and the threat posed by Islamist terrorism as levers to be exploited to destabilize the region. The control, or destruction, of this region was therefore crucial for the United States. Brzezinski defined the Caucasus region as a key zone in the struggle for global influence between great powers. That is why the geopolitics of the region, and the fate of Abkhazia, have become an important issue for major powers such as the United States, Russia, China, Iran, and Turkey. Attempted color revolution in 2020 In 2020, political tensions emerged in Abkhazia. The conflict erupted in January 2020 when protests broke out against Abkhazia's President Raul Khajimba, who had won the 2019 elections. Protesters accused the president of election fraud and demanded his resignation. The conflict culminated in May 2020 when opposition militants barricaded themselves in an administrative building in Sukhumi, the capital of Abkhazia. Security forces besieged the building, but the militants refused to surrender. Tensions escalated, and demonstrations in support of the militants broke out in the city. The conflict was defused when the militants agreed to surrender in exchange for security guarantees. President Khajimba resigned the following month and was replaced by interim President Valeri Bganba. The involvement of NATO secret forces in these political tensions in Abkhazia was evident to insiders. The United States immediately took a position in favor of the "protesters," calling for respect for human rights and democracy, etc. This attempted color revolution bore the mark of the CIA. But Moscow was watching. Presidential elections were still held in March 2020. They were won fairly by Aslan Bzhania, under the watchful eye of international observers. Bzhania appointed former President Alexander Ankvab as Prime Minister. The American destabilization operation failed this time. The situation in Abkhazia, while improving, remains concerning today. While Abkhazia is now a de facto independent state with a desire for peace from a war-weary population, the country remains an issue between Russia and the United States. The shadow games of intelligence services playing out there are dangerous for democracy and the security of the country. In this context, it is difficult to predict the future of Abkhazia, as well as all the countries in the Caucasus. The US deep state still looms, always eager to follow the geostrategic objectives given by Brzezinski, one of the main "sorcerers" of the Bilderberg Group and the Council on Foreign Relations, founded by David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger.

What genre/topics of short stories and poems do you prefer to write about?
I never thought saxophone was easy to pick up! But I believe that it's hard to master. Can you play saxophone solos from rock songs?
Yes I agree, Chinese and Japanese are wonderful languages.
Omg haha that's exactly what I did this year 😂 (memorising all the flags in the world). I did the same thing in my childhood once but forgot a lot of them as the years went by. Which flags are your favourites? Mine are Antugia and Barbuda 🇦🇬, St. Lucia 🇱🇨, Macau 🇲🇴, Palau 🇵🇼 and the Marshall islands 🇲🇭. I have more favourites but I tried to narrow it down 😅. I like a lot of things about geography — knowing the location of the countries and sometimes seeing a connection between their flags, learning about the climate and its development in each region and how it affects other processes in the world, learning about nature and cultures and diving into their history as well, I love it all. How about you?
Lucky you! My dream is to swim with manatees one day. They seem to like humans and I like them so I want to befriend one (or more) 😅.
Those are all really lovely animals as well :). Of course, you're welcome!
Next question: do you have any special plans for Christmas and the holiday season? (sorry if I asked you this before, here's another question just in case) what are your top 5 Marc Bolan outfits? I adore his style!
Sorry to say but I'll be gone until Sunday, which is when I'll next be able to text you. Have a great weekend 💚
— 🎅🌱
You are so lovely thank you for keeping up with me all this time!!!
I like to write about experiences from my own life or fantasy! Complete opposites I know 😆
I played the recorder in elementary school so saxophone was easy for me to pick up (same fingering!) and the embouchure is easier than woodwinds like clarinet or oboe, that’s for sure.
Never really had time to learn the solos from songs I liked, but I can do Who Can It Be Now, Tequila, Your Latest Trick, and Baker Street.
Some of my favorite flags are Kiribati 🇰🇮, Hong Kong 🇭🇰, Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Vanuatu 🇻🇺, and Iceland 🇮🇸. You certainly know a lot more about geography than me though. Do you watch Geography Now on YouTube?
It’s so hard to pick a top 5 Bolan outfits because they’re all so iconic…
In no particular order
Pink shirt/orange pants- https://pin.it/4RzxEj6sq
The Slider- https://pin.it/5V3ZcmMlL
This shirt- https://pin.it/32TFgE0dc

Many travelers consider the dry season, spanning from May to October, as the optimal time to visit Vanuatu. During these months, the weather is characterized by clear skies, low humidity, and minimal rainfall. These ideal conditions make it perfect for outdoor activities such as snorkeling, diving, and hiking.

Peak Season (July and August):

Shoulder Seasons (May-June and September-October):
The shoulder seasons, which bridge the gap between the wet and dry seasons, offer a compelling alternative for those seeking fewer crowds and slightly lower prices. During these months, you can still enjoy pleasant weather conditions with fewer tourists, allowing for a more intimate experience of Vanuatu's natural wonders.
Wet Season (November to April):
From November to April, Vanuatu experiences its wet season, characterized by occasional cyclones and heavy rainfall. While the wet season may deter some travelers, it also has its advantages. The rain revitalizes the lush vegetation,creating a vibrant landscape bursting with greenery. Additionally, this period offers the opportunity to witness spectacular thunderstorms and experience the authentic rhythm of tropical island life.
Festival Season:
Throughout the year, Vanuatu hosts a myriad of cultural festivals and events, providing visitors with unique insights into the local way of life.

The on the best season to visit Vanuatu largely depends on your preferences and what you want to experience. However, generally speaking, the ideal time to visit this stunning South Pacific destination is during the dry season, which typically spans from May to October.

RNZ Pacific 1109 30 Apr 2024
11725Khz 1058 30 APR 2024 - RNZ PACIFIC (NEW ZEALAND) in ENGLISH from RANGITAIKI. SINPO = 45333. English, pips and news @1100z anchored by Lydia Lewis. An average of 6 women have been killed every year for the past 10 years in Fiji, and this is from ongoing cases of domestic violence. This has been revealed by Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre Coordinator Shamima Ali after a research on domestic violence in the country. She says these are just the murders of women which are documented either by the media or police apart from the cases that we only hear about and are not reported. Samoa's Ministry of Health is doing a survey of people's knowledge of, and attitudes to, dengue fever. The nation has declared an outbreak of the mosquito-borne illness, with 250 lab-recorded cases from November last year to 21 April. The former Vanuatu prime minister and now opposition leader, has admitted he has regrets about how he came into power. Ishmael Kalsakau was elected in November 2022 after a motion of no confidence was filed against the then prime minister, Bob Loughman. There has been a trail of no confidence motions filed since then. The first prime ministerial candidate has been announced in Solomon Islands and it is not Manasseh Sogavare. The man of the hour is Jeremiah Manele, the MP for Hograno/Kia/Havulei constituency in Isabel Province, who served as minister of foreign affairs in the last government. Manele's candidacy was announced by caretaker prime minister Sogavare in a news conference in Honiara on Monday night. The cyclone season in the South Pacific which came to an end on Tuesday this week last day of April finished with less cyclones than what was forecast. The El Niño weather pattern was supposed to result in a high number of cyclones in the South Pacific, however, there were only seven - two less than the long term average. An interpreter who fabricated refugee claims for migrant workers has been sentenced to 11 months' home detention. Nurul Noor Azman, who was on a working holiday visa and working as an interpreter at an Auckland law firm, was found guilty of supplying false information in five cases involving horticultural workers. Azman charged workers up to $600 each to create the fake applications. Indonesia's Ruang volcano spewed "explosive" flows of incandescent lava into the night sky on Tuesday as lightning flashes dramatically lit up its crater, promoting authorities to raise the alert status and close a nearby airport. The island of Ruang, which is about 100km from Manado, is home to more than 800 residents, most of whom were evacuated following the recent eruptions. Authorities downgraded the status level to level 3 last week before bumping it up again to level 4 on Tuesday. Sports. @1108z "Pacific Waves" anchored by female announcer. 250ft unterminated BoG antenna pointed E/W w/MFJ-1020C active antenna (used as a preamplifier/preselector), Etón e1XM. 100kW, beamAz 325°, bearing 240°. Received at Plymouth, MN, United States, 12912KM from transmitter at Rangitaiki. Local time: 0558.

South Pacific destinations to entertain the kids
When planning a family holiday a lot of time and effort is placed on finding somewhere that the kids will love. After all, if they’re happy then the holiday is a breeze for everyone else! Kids have such wildly different interests and needs and it can be difficult to know where to start, so we have put together a list of destinations and the child friendly entertainment they offer. We can help you make an informed choice that is best for you and your family. For personalised quotes speak to one of our reservations specialists on 1800 800 722 or explore our family packages here.
The free range kids
For kids who want (or let’s face it, perhaps NEED) to disconnect a little then Norfolk Island is where you should begin. The destination is a quick 2hr flight from the East Coast and is incredibly safe. It’s not uncommon to find hire cars parked at the local supermarket with the windows down, keys still in the ignition, and nothing taken! There are no takeout chains, no shopping malls, and WiFi needs to be purchased in most accommodations. But that means your holiday is spent doing totally free range things, like morning bushwalks and afternoon swims, and BBQ dinners under the starry night skies. Norfolk Island offers a mental reset — even for kids.
The social butterflies
If your babes are the social kind, who love a chat and are always looking to make new friends, then Fiji is perfect for you! The locals are known for their big bula smiles, welcoming nature, and absolute adoration of children! The resorts have Nanny services and Kids Clubs that facilitate new bonds and allow the kids to form beautiful relationships with their caregiver and other attendees. In Fiji they will make memories that will last a lifetime. It’s a bonus that it gives the parents some kid free moments too! Book a family holiday to Fiji and you won’t be disappointed.
For the adventurers
Some children love the idea of a little action — and Vanuatu is just the ticket! Here the highlights of a family holiday are all the incredible activities you can try and natural wonders you can explore. We recommend tours that take you snorkelling on the reef or visits to the local beaches, zip lining through the jungle canopy, exploring the waterfalls at Mele Cascades, and the incredible sights of the Mt Yasur volcano tour on Tanna! Don’t miss out on the fire show on Friday Nights at the Beach Bar too — the kids will LOVE it.
