Forest Brothers (Georgia)
The Forest Brothers (Georgian: ტყის ძმები, tq'is dz'mebi) was a guerrilla group consisting mostly of ethnic Georgians who remained in Abkhazia after the Georgian regular army's defeat in the War in Abkhazia (1992–1993).[1][2][3]
The group, along with another guerrilla group called the White Legion, continued low-intensity guerrilla war against Abkhaz forces along the ceasfire line in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[1]
The Forest Brothers was led by Dato Shengelia.[2]
