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

go to the thread to read the whole 21 tweets, I will just emphasize this one later in the thread:

I am trying to understand the actual complexity of the situation that the Biden administration, and Kamala Harris in particular, are dealing with when a large crowd of emigres appear on our southern border. Because Harris is charged with dealing with stabilizing Latin America border situations so that happens less frequently. Now a huge number of Haitians appearing at once on Mexico's northern border, and how they got there, and why Mexico itself let them in, that's is a real new one. Then finding out that many have not actually been in Haiti since 2010 complicates it further.
We find that it's not as simple as a bunch of Haitians fleeing directly from Haiti.
When given the job months ago, she had specifically made a speech declaring loudly that our borders are not open and warning refugees not to come to the border. That was not targeted at Haitians because that's one nobody in the U.S. expected, the message was targeted to Central Americans.
Harris has to deal with considering all the above news. And the fact that analysts have already told her that many Mexican citizens think like this about their own adminstration:
and as always, Covid control worldwide is an important consideration. Many just plain visitors have to jump through hoops for a travel visa to the U.S. at this time, if they can get approval at all.
