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 think they pulled down that initial snap judgment, now waiting for a real investigation. Assume something looked awry on slightly closer glance.
Black box not going to Boeing either - guess after the 7373 Max crashes, they're about as trusted as Volkswagen on emissions.

WaPo 1 hr. ago: Ukraine bans flights from Iranian airspace after passenger plane crashes, killing 176
At least one expert said it appeared the plane, which had departed from an airport south of Tehran, was “not intact” before it hit the ground.

Strangely this is prolly the most quickly truthful they've been.

yes. I get the impression it is like an extension of the anger about "the mullahs" in general, there is a seizing on anything they can find. After all, they shot to kill protestors in Dec.

p.s. It is the Zarif wing, I am sure. Just from seeing his twitter feed. (I honestly don't know if the man is sincere or is a cynical political operative. I think: does it really matter? As he is consistent with that persona.) He's obviously trying to get across to the mullahs that they must come out with humble humane messages at this time, (bonus win with that: the opposite of saber rattling is also the opposite of Trump) that that's the way to win both global support and calm the protests. They endanger their very existence by doing otherwise. But protestors are not in a mood to accept appeasement, the deaths and arrests have been very brutal.

This is an amazing image, protestors not walking on Israeli (!) and American flags. This reminds me of the Hong Kong protestors, there is a sharing of some ideology, freedom of speech seems to be the thing that they are admiring?
