Chaos and panic as people flee the Russian advance
IN panic and utter confusion, the Georgian army fled the town of Gori last night, chased by a seemingly invisible Russian advance. As has so often been the case in this short but brutal war, this was pure chaos.From the direction of their former front line positions close to the internal boundary with the breakaway region of South Ossetia, columns of Georgian tanks and armoured personnel carriers hurtled along the main road bisecting Gori. Army trucks crammed with troops screamed after them, swerving madly through the streets before barrelling along the highway to the capital Tbilisi. Posted by: john frum 2008-08-12 |
