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

At least 20 people shot, one fatally, at a party attended by hundreds in Southeast Washington

The deceased's mother says cops should have broken up the crowd because the gathering was against pandemic regs:
Purported Video, cavaet emptor
here is a NBC local station video report
https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/1-dead-20-hurt-when-gunfire-erupts-at-dc-block-party/2386358/
Reports that police pulled out because there weren't enough of them to break up the crowd, even though against pandemic regs. That they are going to have to do better at breaking up crowds, and the community needs to understand that some people will have to go to jail when they do that.
This was yet another DC shooting of a young black man:

So where are the cops--or social workers--going to come from to break up parties like this? Why would cops bother, it will only mean more protests against brutally breaking up a minority population having fun? Or why would unarmed social workers want to risk their lives to try to mediate arguments at a block party so they don't end up with shooting?
