Protesters Storm Abkhazia's Parliament Square

Protesters in Abkhazia, a Russian-backed breakaway region of Georgia, breached a square in front of parliament. This was in response to growing opposition against a recent investment agreement with Russia.

On Friday, demonstrators managed to break through security onto the square in front of the Abkhazia parliament, a region that is backed by Russia and has declared independence from Georgia, according to reports from Russia's TASS news agency.

The region has been witnessing an increase in opposition against a new investment agreement with Russia, which many Abkhazians perceive as a threat to their autonomy.

Tempers have been flaring with accusations that the agreement may lead to increased Russian influence, sparking public discontent and protests.
