Aslan Bzhania's resignation as president of Abkhazia follows protests against a controversial investment deal with Russia, highlighting the region's political instability and tension.
The unrest surrounding Aslan Bzhania's presidency illustrates the deep-seated opposition to an investment deal with Russia, with concerns it would further increase Moscow's influence over Abkhazia.
Protesters stormed government buildings, demanding the withdrawal of a property agreement with Russia, fearing it would inflate property prices and deepen Russian control in the region.
Despite his resignation, Bzhania's condition to re-enter the political scene is contingent on the protesters vacating the government buildings by an impending deadline.
