Protests have ignited in Abkhazia, Georgia, triggered by a controversial law permitting Russian citizens to acquire property. Activists stormed the parliament building, voicing their alarm over Russia's increasing dominance in the region.

The self-proclaimed President Bjanian offered to resign if the demonstrators left, but opposition leaders demanded his unconditional departure. Former President Bganba rallied the crowd, emphasizing the need to protect their nation.

Clashes with police resulted in injuries, further escalating tensions. The situation reflects deep-rooted fears of economic absorption by Russia since Abkhazia's 1993 separation from Georgia.

As the parliament convened to discuss property regulations, the protests highlighted the urgent need for political accountability and the preservation of regional autonomy.
