Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Reed Galen of The Lincoln Project just retweeted this:
He did not choose to add a comment like "hint, hint, BLM", left it up to the reader to decide why. I will note, however, that Lincoln Project's projects and tweets are often "engaging and fun."

The Left's conspicuous fun often seems contrived and made for cameras and a fair bit mean-spirited, even while talking about so-called progressive values. I find family members on both the left or right hang up on me for the slightest affront to purity values - and I have a pretty goddamned tiny family.
