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

"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

Comments
This is an interesting thread of comments, lots of them from non-partisan types even though it was started by an admitted Yang fan. Proof that they are still out there, just not as loud as partisans are:

Fruitful only as a spoiler like Ross Perot. People keep talking like there's some general principles or political positions that unites independents. There's not. independents are a mix of liberals, conservatives, libertarians etc. The liberal independents won't vote for a conservative candidate and the conservatives won't vote of a liberal candidate and neither will vote for a moderate. No one candidate can be all things to all the disparate groups of those who call themselves independent

That's a strong point. At the same time, it cannot be argued that there aren't significant "spoilers" or schisms within both major parties right now! You are thinking of the big national races, the presidency with the electoral college and the Senate. But this does effect downticket races, the schisms. I.E., just now in Buffalo, many people who vote Dem did not like who the party picked to run for mayor, a radical, and they instead helped elect the primary loser by write-in vote, a moderate.
Likewise in VA, lots of political people are surprised that Youngkin won while not publicly courting Trump. Everyone was ruing that Trumpies have taken over the Republican party and nothing can be done about it, but that this shows that is not necessarily the case, that a different kind of Republican can win.
They are two supposed "big tent" parties that don't reflect the reality of their supposed electorate, they are people forced to be in the same party even though they disagree vehemently within that party.
That is why Bernie Sanders is still an Independent in the Senate, not a Democrat. He has not changed his designation there.
They're not real parties anymore, they're unified about very little.
