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

Caught this June 14 update while on Tribune website: CPD places officers back on 12-hour shifts, cancels days off to prepare for possible resurgence of unrest Police spokesman Tom Ahern characterized the move as a “precautionary measure” put in place “to be prepared in the case there’s any resurgence of protests.”

As per previous article, there aren't enough cops to both man protests and tend to the usual with just 8 hr. shifts.
(Hence, in NYC, we had curfew. Not saying it would work there as they have more of a centralized "ghetto" problem like we used to but it's lessened, neighborhoods are more mixed so the peer pressure with a curfew works.If it's a "all hell can break loose" hood, though, fat chance curfew help much with no one around to "enforce" it.)
