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.

Tips for Choosing the Perfect 2024 Holiday Destination

Choosing the perfect South Pacific island holiday destination in 2024 can be an exciting yet challenging task. With a myriad of beautiful islands to explore, each offering unique experiences, it’s important to consider various factors to ensure your trip is unforgettable.

From aligning your interests with the activities available to evaluating the best time to visit, accessibility, and accommodation options, these tips will guide you in making an informed decision. Whether you seek adventure, cultural immersion, or relaxation, the South Pacific has something for every traveller, promising a memorable and enriching holiday experience.

Consider Your Interests

Choosing a South Pacific island that aligns with your interests can make your holiday truly memorable. Each island has its unique charm and activities. If you’re an adventure enthusiast, consider Fiji, known for its world-class diving sites, vibrant coral reefs, and thrilling water sports. For those who appreciate rich cultural experiences, Samoa offers a deep connection to its Polynesian heritage, with traditional villages, ceremonial events, and historical landmarks. Meanwhile, if relaxation and serene landscapes are your priority, the cook islands holidays or Norfolk Island, steeped in fascinating convict history, provide an idyllic retreat.

Understanding what you want from your holiday is key to making the right choice. Research the various activities and attractions each island offers to ensure they match your interests. Whether it’s exploring volcanic landscapes in Vanuatu, hiking through lush rainforests in Tahiti, or discovering the ancient ruins of Tonga, there’s an island for every type of traveller. Look into tahiti holidays and experience the magic for yourself.

Evaluate the Weather

The climate in the South Pacific can greatly influence your holiday experience, so choosing the right time to visit is crucial. The dry season, typically from May to October, is ideal for those who prefer sunny days and minimal rainfall. This period is perfect for outdoor activities like beach outings, snorkelling, and hiking, providing the best conditions to enjoy the natural beauty of the islands. Destinations like Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Cook Islands are particularly appealing during this time, offering warm, pleasant weather.

On the other hand, the wet season, from November to April, has its own advantages, such as fewer tourists and potentially lower accommodation prices. This season brings lush, green landscapes and vibrant tropical flowers, enhancing the islands’ natural beauty. However, it’s essential to be prepared for occasional rain showers and higher humidity. If you don’t mind these conditions and prefer a more secluded experience, visiting during the wet season can be quite rewarding. Understanding the seasonal climate variations helps in planning a trip that suits your comfort and activity preferences.

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.
