Georgian Kaaos: Kaduilla mellakoivat mielenosoittajat ja EU–haaveet katoavat!

amerikkalainen jalkapallo - EU-jäsenyys - Georgia - Georgia Tech - protestit - Robin L. Dunnigan - Salome Zourabichvili - Tbilisi - Yhdysvaltojen suurlähettiläs

Tuhannet georgialaiset protestoivat Tbilisissä hallituksen EU-jäsenyysneuvottelujen keskeytystä vastaan. Katso, mitä muuta on tapahtunut!

Georgia on ollut viime päivinä otsikoissa, kun tuhannet mielenosoittajat ovat täyttäneet Tbilisin kadut hallituksen päätöksen vuoksi lopettaa EU-jäsenyysneuvottelut. Tämä toimintatapamuutos on saanut monet georgialaiset tuntemaan, että heidän Eurooppaan suuntautuvat unelmansa ovat vaarassa, ja mielenosoitukset ovat levinneet laajalle. Amnesty Internationalin Denis Krivosheev on myös nostanut esiin tarpeen suojella rauhanomaista protestoijien oikeutta, kun poliisi näyttää olevan valmis kovempaan otteeseen tiukassa tilanteessa.

Samalla kuin Tbilisissä on melua, urheilumaailmassa Georgian ja Georgia Techin jalkapallo-ottelu vuodelta 1999 on saanut uutta huomiota. Tämä ottelu oli täynnä jännitystä, käänteitä ja draamaa, mikä on tehnyt siitä legendaarisen. Tarkkaan ottaen, entinen Georgia Techin puolustuksen koordinaattori Ted Roof kuvailee ottelua yhdeksi ikimuistoisimmista. Mikä voikaan yhdistää mielenosoitukset ja urheilun, ellei intohimo ja adrenaliini, jotka ovat pinnalla sekä kaduilla että kentällä?!

Kuitenkin surullisia uutisia on myös tullut, kun uutisiin on noussut miesten väkivaltaisuus, joka on johtanut vakaviin tragedioihin. Mies, jota epäillään tyttöystävänsä ja tämän pojan tappamisesta Georgiassa, ampui itsensä Thanksgiving-aamuna. Tämä surullinen tapahtuma muistuttaa meitä, kuinka tärkeää on huolehtia omasta ja läheistemme hyvinvoinnista - sekä kadulla että kotona.

Vaikka Kadut ovat täynnä protestoijia ja stadionit urheilufaneja, Georgian kansa on yhdistänyt voimansa muiden maiden kanssa, jotka myös toivovat parempaa tulevaisuutta. Maailman tapahtumista huolimatta Georgia yrittää löytää oma paikkansa ja -identiteettinsä.

Tiedätkö, että Georgia on liittovaltio Yhdysvalloissa, mutta se ei ole ainoa paikka, jolla on tämä nimi? Konfliktit, haaveet ja intohimot ovat yhdistäneet näitä kahden eri maailman Georgian kansoja, jotka kumpikin etsivät parempaa tulevaisuutta. Onko tämä kenties eräänlainen sattuma, vai onko yhteys suurempi kuin uskommekaan?
