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

+ surplus Iraq weaponry spread around the US police depts starting around 2004 prolly didn't slow down the spread of militarized "militias" afterwards, however that term gets bent.

^ Mass Shooting Tracker counts any shooting of 4 or more people as a "mass shooting", it doesn't have to be in a public place nor are the victims necessarily innocents. The below addresses what more of us consider a mass shooting -

two Supreme court clerks who worked on "Heller" for the involved Justices on either side of the 2nd Amendment debate warn everyone that not a single Justice felt the 2nd Amendment was against some kinds of gun regulation
excerpt
a lay person's summary of what they say:what even "originalists" feel is protected in the Amendment is like a right to keep like a handgun for self-defense in the home, otherwise, everything else is fair game for regulation!!! All the spin beyond that is bogus, none of the Supremes agree with that.

this is THE big flaw in any Dem argument about using age 18 as a prohibitory line on guns; there is no way for most people that you can explain it away
the best argument I saw was someone who said that when they get into the service, they are not just trained, but vetted and regulated by older people who even decide if they are qualified to use the gun they are given.

p.s. i.e. if you could have one of these movie drill sergeant guys at the gun stores checking out purchases by 18 yr. olds

Wondering; so does that mean one could be arrested for wearing or even having body armor?
