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

Kemp is another GOP lowlife elected official who knows he may not win playing by the rules so goes full-on J.R. Ewing of Dallas infame ("Once you give up your integrity, the rest is easy!"). He has this perpetual deer-in-the-headlights look on his face, as though he is always afraid. Wouldn't you be if you had done what he has done, and you acted as he did? Beyond disgraceful that Kemp as then Secretary of State (he resigned after declaring a victory Abrams has not conceded) did not recuse himself from oversight of the gubernatorial election. At least Kovach, who likewise did not recuse and was evidently behind the scenes off the radar--he hoped--helping engineer the Dodge City fiasco, was royally flushed on Tuesday.
Speaking of lowlife GOP statewide elected officials, Florida has a bunch of them. Several have been working overtime for years now to move their state aggressively towards the stone age: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/11/07/republicans-broke-flor...
