		The opposition, spearheaded by the Amtsakhara movement of veterans from the 1992-3 war in Abkhazia, have made three attempts over the last six months to force the resignation of Ardzinba, the long-time leader of Abkhazia’s nationalist movement.
		Amtsakhara has argued that while Georgia has inherited a new dynamic leader under Mikheil Saakashvili, it is dangerous for Abkhazia to continue under the rule of Ardzinba, who is sick with an unspecified illness and has not appeared in public for several years.
		“Amtsakhara is not organising the congress, as the political council never took such a decision,” he said.

		Amtsakhara and "Unified Abkhazia," another influential movement, have demanded that the entire government resign to be replaced by a transitional "government of consent," which will govern the breakaway region until "presidential elections" which are scheduled for fall of this year (Inter-Press June 17, 21, Resonance, June 22).
		Amtsakhara had unsuccessfully struggled to oust Ardzinba from office for the past 18 months - a period marked by the shaping of Ardzinba opposition.
		The move leads analysts to theorize that influential political groups in Abkhazia have bet on Shamba, who is known for his intransigent anti-Georgian policy and is a strict follower of the secessionist agenda.

		Amtsakhara a toujours poussé dans le sens de réformes du gouvernement d'Abkhazie, par exemple, pour instaurer un meilleur équilibre des pouvoirs entre les différentes branches de l'autorité et pour renforcer la puissance des législateurs abkhazes.
		Amtsakhara a été en grande partie responsable de la chute du gouvernement de Guennadi Gagoulia, le prédécesseur de l'actuel premier ministre, Raul Khadjimba.
		Amtsakhara a enflammé le public en accusant Gagoulia d'être inefficace et faible dans la lutte contre la criminalité, et la colère du public a explosé au congrès de l'organisation.

		There have also been calls for him to be impeached, but although the Abkhaz Constitution allows for this, the process would likely not be completed before the end of his term.

		The issue of the veterans is high up on the public agenda and was talked up by all candidates in March's parliamentary elections.
		The Amtsakhara movement, largely comprised of participants in the war, made the rights of old soldiers a central plank in its programme and won a third of the seats in the assembly.
		While former soldiers are eligible for some benefits such as pensions and free medical treatment, and can study at the university on favourable terms, the practical effect of all this on their lives is very small.
