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

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.

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

The myth of peaceful Native Americans.
The Indian tribes along the Florida panhandle had no problem enslaving a shipwrecked Spaniard (Cabeza de Vaca) every one.
But still nicer than Aztecs.

This is why I love Dagblog. You guys are on my wavelength. I didn't post this necessarily because I agree 100 percent but because I found the topic interesting. I just became familiar with Cabeza de Vaca recently. I'm not sure why more of that history hasn't been discussed more often. Really interesting stuff there:

Do you have humor on your planet? If so, is it ever used in common situations or just saved for formal celebrations and holidays?
