Who were the Georgians wanted to secede?

The Georgians who wanted to secede were primarily the ethnic Ossetians and Abkhazians living in the regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, respectively. These groups sought independence from Georgia following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, leading to violent conflicts. Their desire for secession was rooted in ethnic, historical, and political grievances, which eventually resulted in the establishment of de facto independent states, recognized by a few countries but considered part of Georgia by most of the international community.
