The road from Mongo to Abéché, Chad
"A partisan of the living, the incomprehensibility of non-existence was something he loathed...If Socrates went to his death tranquilly, Canetti went to his with a bitter fist". Terrific essay by @JaredMPollen on the life and work of Elias Canetti: newstatesman.com/ideas/2024/04/…
Today, I went to the Chad-Sudan border - Darfur starts behind the trees. It was eerie to see a RSF checkpoint, the first houses, a telco mast and Sudanese crossing to shop. It looked peaceful but there's also a rather dark backstory showing the conflict's complexity..
Cool conservative mountain dialect of Chechen spoken here!!

Do I know anyone who can speak to the value of Syrian oil and gas fields?

In Brief: The Conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo @WarOnTheRocks warontherocks.com/2024/04/in-bri…
The United States is attempting to create a new military deal with #Niger in a last ditch effort to stay after the junta said its presence was no longer justified. apnews.com/article/united…
Given events in Niger and Deby's recent Moscow visit, this is intriguing. Negotiating tactic or an attempt to harness the current popularity of sovereigntism? Chad’s government threatens to kick out US troops edition.cnn.com/2024/04/18/pol…
My textbook with @KhedaGa, “Beginner’s #Chechen” is out in May with @hippocrenebooks. Don’t forget to pre-order! amazon.com/Beginners-Chec…
After five years, finally back in Pankisi valley, Georgia's lovely Chechen enclave
Phosphor is my favorite Ducornet. Or maybe tied with Fountains of Neptune. Actually, The Jade Cabinet is pretty great as well. As is Entering the Fire... Probably best to read them all. Really grateful for @Dalkey_Archive and @Coffee_House_ for championing this work.

First time reading Rikki Ducornet and loving it. If Leonara Carrington wrote on ecocide, colonial structures etc, you’d get something like Phosphor in Dreamland @Dalkey_Archive
I believe this is another “first” in the intersection of soc media and modern war - an attack so slow and telegraphed that IRCG hypebeasts and armchair OSINT analysts have literally hours to discuss it before it hits anything.

If you’re a fan of Bernhard, then I highly recommend these two from Mark Haber and Horacio Castellanos Moya. @Coffee_House_ and @NewDirections
@ojwalther A strategy of extraversion. The new article from Joe Gazeley is all about this dynamic in Mali during the early GWOT years (academic.oup.com/isq/article/68…)
Finally read that devastating review everyone is talking about.

I believe this is another “first” in the intersection of soc media and modern war - an attack so slow and telegraphed that IRCG hypebeasts and armchair OSINT analysts have literally hours to discuss it before it hits anything.
As reports comes in about Iran having launched drones toward Israel, pro-IRGC accounts on Telegram are sharing videos like these said to have been filmed in Iran's western provinces and Iraq. That's the Shahed's trademark lawnmower sound.
1.1) If I take down, say, Percival Everett, do I reach out ahead of time and tell him it’s just a publicity stunt? 2.1) If the tabloid sensationalizes my book, do I act horrified or sanctimoniously indignant or both?
