This thread is only a fraction of what I've seen & what people told me in Sagaing, Myanmar.

If any editors would be interested in any stories about Sagaing, the people, fighters, refugees, war crimes, drone units etc, or if anyone know of any editors who might, my DMs are open!

I have just come back Myanmar 🇲🇲 where I spent two weeks traveling around the resistance-held territories of the Sagaing region. Its a remote region which no other foreign press has managed to visit since the start of the war five years ago.

I'll share some impressions below 🧵

1/ Prominent Russian warblogger Vladimir Romanov has been arrested and reportedly accused of treason, espionage, and propaganda activities for the Ukrainians. His real crime appears to have been to contradict official Russian statements about the evacuation of Oleshky. ⬇️

Sudan 🇸🇩: a significant breakthrough on the Kordofan front today as the SAF advanced both west and south of the city of El Obeid, seizing several strategic localities including Abu Qu'ad and Kazgeil.

RSF fighters simply melted away.

If there is one thing which could upend the transitional process in Venezuela 🇻🇪 it would be Marco Rubio resigning.

Delcy knows Rubio is the only one in this administration forcing through an election. Trump just cares about the oil. If Rubio goes, she’s set to rule indefinitely
