protests in georgia against the reversal of the countrys pro-european course continue for over 3 weeks now. after a brief pause, the protesters took to the streets en masse again on dec 21. one of the main demands is the recall of the parliamentary elections that the pro-russian georgian dream party won. the odihr/osce monitoring mission noted a combination of voter intimidation, media bias, unequal conditions, and violations of ballot secrecy during the elections, which did not meet fundamental democratic standards or osce commitments necessary for free and fair elections. the opposition believes that this official conclusion creates grounds to host re-election. last night, people in tbilisi performed the khorumi war dancea traditional dance of the adjara region that calls forth the spirits of georgian fighters of the past centuries. the dance reminds us that in order to have peace, one must be ready for war.   s/1870828121668141143
