Georgians rally against president
Nov. 7 - Around 10,000 opposition supporters launch their first protest in Tbilisi against President Mikhail Saakashvili since the conflict with Russia.
Pressure is being put on Saakashvili to call for elections for having put Georgia's forces through a crushing defeat by the Russia military. The President's critics say by launching the assault on South Ossetia, which threw off Tbilisi's rule in the early 1990s, the president took part in a war Georgia could not possibly win or afford. Saakashvili came to power 2003, he promised to consolidate democracy in the former Soviet state. Concern has been raised by international military monitors over Georgia's assertion that it attacked in response to separatists shelling Georgian villages.
