The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
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

I would add that violating a temporary law like curfew to entice forceful police reaction, I would think that lessens amount of sympathy because most citizens do not find it onerous to obey curfew for a short amount of time. It's when protesters are following all the rules that gets them greatest sympathy when there is overreaction.
Also, the willlingness to get arrested without fighting back is part of the whole theory if I recall correctly, is it not? I.E., you go limp and let them arrest you if the plan is to block some public place for attention purposes.

I am reminded of what a fancy lawyer I had to hire kept telling me "I'm trying to get you to focus."
I know immediately what this protest is about. As opposed to like, day 90 in Portland, Oregon-I still am not sure to this day what those protesters are protesting; I've read a ton on them and all I have come away with is that they want endless war, and have actually started to come to the conclusion that they aren't protesting at all, they just like war.

effective policing during protest movements requires police knowing it's gonna happen and where (i.e., permit like we used to do in NYC, don't know what happened with that recently):
Believe it or not, mostly the country's police are not like 1950's Mississipppi police anymore, they are not looking for trouble, they'd rather not.
