A Georgian opposition party called for a "Day of Rage" Wednesday to try to force President Mikheil Saakashvili to resign after police used teargas and rubber bullets against protesters in the capital.

The protesters, who numbered around 10,000 Saturday, accuse Saakashvili of imposing autocratic rule on the former Soviet republic that sits on energy transit routes from the Caspian to western Europe.

Echoing language used to rally protesters in the uprisings in the Arab world, Sozar Subari, chairman of the opposition Georgian Party, said: "We are calling our supporters to come to the rally on May 25 and we call this day 'Day of Rage'."

  • Maybe Russia should adopt resolution 1973 and use ‘Any means necicary to protect civilians’ to drop some humanitarian bombs on the place much like the USA is doing in Lybia.

    Won’t the world be a safer place with two policemen on the beat and we can always ask China to make it three.
