Confederation of Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus

At the end of August 1992 the Confederation held the 11th Session of Parliament in Grozny to discuss the Abkhazian issue.

On October 3, Abkhazian and Confederate formations launched a full scale attack on villages of Kamani and Shroma (near Gumista River) that was repelled by Georgian forces.

On November 4, 1990, in Nalchik, the Assembly of North Caucasian Peoples voted to establish a "Mountain Peoples Confederacy." 16 nations of the Caucasus joined the Confederation.

It experienced a brief revival in December 1994, when Shanibov rallied thousands across the North Caucasus to block roads to the Russian forces heading to Grozny.
