The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

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

Very interesting to know about especially this part
The move to video is driven entirely by advertiser demand.
Because I come at this from another direction. I think those advertisers are in for a rude surprise of diminishing returns. Here's why. It's about how there's not the "hardware" system set up to allow this to happen even if people wanted all those videos, and I think they don't. I never had any other internet in my home except cellular, for 20 years. I'm not in Podunk, I'm in NYC in the Bronx, near a major commuting highway. I never had much trouble for 18 of those years. Mostly had all the internet service I wanted, as fast as I needed, excepting maybe I'd not watch a movie. And I could take it with me anywhere, traveling. Then all of a sudden lots and lots of people start surfing the web on their phones more and more, and use their laptops and computers on fixed internet access less and less. And all of a sudden all the cell cos. start offering unlimited data plans.
Everybody all of a sudden is using data from cell towers that were not ready for it. The last year in my zip code has been just hell with service. And this is the biggest company: Verizon Wireless. During rush hour people in their cars rushing past my hose are using so much data on my tower that my service can drop significantly. Service is icredibly erratic. The techies haven't a clue how to fix this, it's allover the country and they've got a real mess on their hands with everyone accessing data on their phones.I've been complaining so much that I got to top level people at Verizon and they don't know what the heck they are going to do, they don't know how to service all the demand, the software is a mess, the servers are a mess, there aren't enough towers.
Everybody watching videos on their phones, there is no way that is going to work well for at least several years in highly populous areas. People will just give up and not watch. Just like you give up when your email won't load on the phone and try again later. It's just that simple.
Oh and those commercials by Verizon about how you'll get a good connection at that conference when you can't with another provider? A big fucking lie. The system is overloaded everywhere. They were not ready for this.

P.S. It's so bad that I finally plan to get internet from the cable tv company, after using cellular internet happily for 20 years. I know I am going to have to do it in the location I am in, I know that service is just going to get worse. Forget watching videos, it could take 5 minutes for me to check my bank account, or that mostly text article @ TPM, like being back on dial up in the olden days.
Advertisers are foolish for loading up every web page with tons of videos, people aren't watching them.
