In 2003 UNOMIG ceased the monitoring operation following a hostage-taking incident. 2006 Kodori crisis: In July 2006, Georgia sent the Interior Ministry special forces to disarm the local paramilitary leader, Emzar Kvitsiani. With the restoration of the Georgian jurisdiction in the area, the President of Georgia ordered the Tbilisi-based Government of Abkhazia-in-exile to relocate to the gorge which would function as a temporary administrative center of breakaway Abkhazia. For this purpose, a major rehabilitation project was launched by the Georgian government, to adjust the valley's infrastructure to its new political function.

In the same period the Abkhazian side received two violation notices for obstructing the movement of UN observers.

The UN Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) said on October 13 that monitoring had also revealed the presence of mortars and an anti-aircraft gun in the gorge which, according to the Georgian side, was seized from the local militia group in an operation carried out in late July. 2007 Georgia helicopter incident: On the night of 11 March 2007, three MI-24 attack helicopters bombarded the village of Chkhalta which served as the temporary headquarters of the Government of the Abkhazian Autonomous Republic.
