The Ossetians, are an ethnic group of the Ossetia, a region of the Northern Caucasus to the border between Russia and Georgia, administratively uniform in North Ossetia denominated also "Alania", in Russia and South Ossetia, in Georgian territory.
In the night between 7th and August 8th 2008 the Georgian authorities declared to have received news that Russian army was crossing the tunnel of Roki and so they launched a preventive attack to prevent a Russian invasion of their country. The Georgian troops were defeats and only thanks to the mediation of the European Union address by Nicolas Sarkozy, as president of turn of the UE, he reached the signature of the peace.
The South Ossetia and the Abkhazia, separate de facto from Georgia got a formal independence, recognized only from Russia, from Venezuela and from Nicaragua, but not from the international community.
Both the parts in the conflict violated the international humanitarian law, with the indiscriminate and disproportionate use of the strength against the civilians and the use of cluster bombs. The Russians were also responsible of serious violations of the international humanitarian law because of they ruled over forces occupant of the Georgian territory as occupying army.
They would have had to assure the safety and the public order, instead, they stood for the ossetian and abkhaze militias that destroyed the Georgian villages in South Ossetia and in the Kodori Gorge, in Upper Abkhazia, in deliberate and systematic way, carrying out an ethnic cleansing of the Georgian villages in the territories of the two breakaway republics.
As a result of such reckless policy, after the end of the war, around 192.000 refugees were forced to leave their houses, of which 35.000 fled in North Ossetia while 167.000 Georgians were forced to abandon their houses ( 25.000 refugees from the South Ossetia and 6.000 from the Kodori Gorge, in Upper Abkhazia).
The refugees were displaced in Georgia inside facilities such as collective centers, sanatoriums, hotels, hostels, schools and new settlements.
After the end of the war, a building program was started up of 4.542 new houses in the regions of Kvemo Kartli, Shida Kartli, Mtskheta-Tianeti and Kakheti and a economic policy with the aim of creating conditions for the communities to become self-sufficient, via financial aid for setting up small economic activities, agriculture and livestock rearing.
The way of life of the Georgians refugees is subsequently deteriorated after the outbreak of the war against Russia in August 2008, the community of the refugees asks for a great attention, understanding and compassion to be able to give the opportunity to live in dignity and safety.
This dramatic social situation is becoming an unsustainable burden for the society and the Georgian government without the support of international community.
