In the case of JEM, breakaway groups called into question the legitimacy of its representatives in Abuja.

An international assessment of the huge stockpiles of weapons and ammunition in the breakaway region was imperative.

Look at the rogue breakaway regions in Moldova and Georgia that exist only because of the Kremlin s backing.

Its main goal is to inhibit Western support for Georgia, and to prevent reconciliation with the breakaway regions.

Russia could also react beyond the Balkans, most obviously in the Caucasus, with its breakaway regions, particularly in Georgia.

Plans for a union with Romania were abandoned, and the new Constitution gave autonomy to the breakaway Transnistria and Gagauzia.

A declaration of independence by Kosovo will likely bring a similar declaration from Georgia s breakaway Abkhazia region, which Russia could well recognize.

After Russia sent troops into Georgia in August 2008, it recognized the independence of two breakaway Georgian provinces, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

The heads of the 27 EU governments also characterized the Kremlin s decision to recognize the independence of the two breakaway regions as unacceptable.

Russian recognition was widely seen as retaliation for Western recognition of Kosovo (population two million), the breakaway province of Serbia, earlier last year.

Here, there is a real danger that Russia may recognize breakaway regions in the South Caucasus, and back them more strongly than it does now.

Both the government and the breakaway Republic of Biafra accepted a truce to allow his team, Santos, to play two exhibition matches against local teams.

The worry is that Russia will unilaterally recognize the breakaway Moldovan territory of Transdnistria, which Russian troops and criminal gangs have been propping up for 16 years.

Russia has set forth various reasons to justify its armed intervention in Georgia, where the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia are nonetheless under Georgian sovereignty.

The KPA has five branches Ground Force, Naval Force, Air Force, Special Operations Force, and Rocket Force.

(Russia has also tried heavy handed tactics on Moldova by threatening to ban the country s wine exports to Russia and to recognize the independence of the breakaway territory of Transnistria.)

This may not be the case with for this September s Caucasus 2012 , which Russia is planning to hold with forces from the breakaway Georgian provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

LONDON A year ago, tiny Georgia tried to regain control over its breakaway enclave of South Ossetia. The Russians quickly expelled the Georgian army, to almost universal opprobrium from the West.

Even before Vladimir Putin became Russia s president, the Kremlin was making mischief in Georgia, issuing Russian passports to citizens of Abkhazia (the largest breakaway region) and pouring money into its economy.

This is one reason why Russia has become so aggressive with its neighbors, Ukraine and Georgia, and seeks to maintain a military presence in places like Transdniestria, the breakaway region of Moldova.

Currently, the type has entered service with the Austrian Air Force, the Italian Air Force, the German Air Force, the Royal Air Force, the Spanish Air Force, and the Royal Saudi Air Force.

We must meet force with greater force.

Renewed conflict in Abkhazia would not only bring the risk of open warfare with Russia, but strain relations with Armenia, as there are near to 50,000 Armenians in Abkhazia who support the breakaway government.

We have also re launched settlement talks concerning the breakaway region of Transdniestria, where the only viable basis for a solution is to make Moldova ever more economically and politically attractive to the region s residents.

Force

Recent events in Georgia remind us that resolving the region's frozen conflicts i.e., those in the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, of Transdneistria in Moldova, and Nagorno Karabakh in Azerbaijan must be a priority.

So far, only Russia and Nicaragua recognize the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Russian recognition was widely seen as retaliation for Western recognition of Kosovo (population two million), the breakaway province of Serbia, earlier last year.

This approach accounts for the failure of Dmitri Kozak s plan for resolving the situation in Moldova s breakaway Trans Dniester region, as well as for the ludicrous state of affairs that has arisen in Georgia s separatist Abkhazia region.

It is currently in service with U.S. Air Force, US Navy, US Marine Corps, Royal Canadian Air Force, Colombian Air Force, Swedish Air Force, and various NATO air forces.
