Georgia president faces 'disobedience campaign'

TBILISI, GEORGIA - Thousands of protesters are expected to continue action on Saturday after blocking streets in the Georgian capital and vowing widespread civil disobedience Friday as President Mikheil Saakashvili rejected opposition calls to resign.

Following the biggest demonstrations against Saakashvili's rule since Georgia's August war with Russia, opposition protesters temporarily blocked main streets and marched on the president's office.

Opposition leaders vowed to continue roadblocks every day from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm Georgian time (1100 GMT to 1700 GMT) and to expand protests nationwide until Saakashvili resigns. snip

The United States on Friday refrained from comment on the calls for Saakashvili, a strong ally of the administration of former president George W. Bush, to resign.

"This is an internal Georgian matter," said a US State Department spokesman, Richard Aker, after being questioned on the resignation calls.
