Georgia: Blogging from Poti · Global Voices
Onnik Krikorian

Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty is once again blogging from Georgian towns under Russian military occupation. The station's Tea Absaridze is providing daily updates on the situation in the strategic Black Sea port of Poti, currently controlled by the Russian military despite a ceasefire agreement requiring Moscow to withdraw its troops. The blog reports that looting by drunken Russian soldiers is widespread and there have been some cases of violence towards citizens and journalists alike.
