TODAY: War uproots 100,000; irregular add-ons to Russian army are “terrorizing”; aid workers having trouble accessing areas; Vitaly Churkin says Russia’s role in Gori was humanitarian; Rice to visit Tbilisi; US and Poland agree on missile shield; “the Obama angle”. The war between Georgia and Russia has reportedly uprooted more than 100,000 people. Georgia said Russian troops still control one-third of the country, and that the Russian army has brought in “thousands and thousands of irregulars” who are terrorizing the country. Humanitarian aid groups and UN monitors are reportedly unable to reach large parts of Georgia due to insecure conditions, and Human Rights Watch says it has evidence that Russia used cluster bombs in civilian areas of Georgia. Russia’s claims of “genocide” in South Ossetia are coming under question. In the eyes of Russian citizens, their country is “the peacemaker”. Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s UN Ambassador, says that Georgia’s strategic city of Gori should not be classified as being “in ruins” because it still has running water and electricity, and classifies Russian troop action there as “humanitarian”. Russian troops are again stationed in the city, having previously retreated, and journalists are reportedly coming under fire there.
