The BBC reports here that Aslan Abashidze, leader of the Georgian region of Ajaria and thug-of-all-trades, has fled. This just days after the FIDE women's world championship was moved out of his capital for safety reasons. Nice of him to still hand over the money to sponsor the event while he was busy looting the treasury and packing his bags. Let's hope Ilyumzhinov cashed that check quickly! Ilyumzhinov is running out of friends and sponsors. First it was Saddam and Uday, and now his buddy Aslan.
