5G showed up in 2020, so it be up to date until 2028-2030. So Russia will have 5G at the end of technology cycle. >Reee why do you need 5G Because LTE in Moscow is overloaded. Something I just can't watch videos online even at 480p.

In Myanmar the junta is still in power, and the rebels are still rebelious. Fighting has spilt over into Bangladesh, cause the rebel stronghold is right on the border. As for Syria, a new political phase of the conflict is supposedly beginning. And theres still the threat of a turkish invasion to the north
Burundi MPs eject prime minister amid coup rumours
>Burundi's parliament on Wednesday approved the appointment of a new prime minister after President Evariste Ndayishimiye warned last week of a possible coup plot against him. Security Minister Gervais Ndirakobuca has replaced Alain Guillaume Bunyoni as prime minister after a unanimous vote in parliament, the national broadcaster RTNB said. Mr Bunyoni's departure came after President Ndayishimiye, who has been in power for just over two years, had last week warned of a coup plot against him.
>“Do you think an army general can be threatened by saying they will make a coup? Who is that person? Whoever it is should come and in the name of God I will defeat him,” President Ndayishimiye had warned at a meeting of government officials on Friday. There has been speculation of a possible feud between the Prime Minister and the President due to a power struggle.
>Mr Ndayishimiye took power in the troubled nation in June 2020 after his predecessor Pierre Nkurunziza died of what the authorities said was heart failure. The country had been plunged into deadly turmoil in 2015 when then president Nkurunziza launched a bid for a third term in office, despite concerns over the legality of such a move. New PM Ndirakobuca was sanctioned in 2015 by the US for "silencing those opposed" to Nkurunziza's third term bid. Burundi's history is littered with presidential assassinations, coups, ethnic massacres and a long civil war that ended in 2006 and left some 300,000 dead.

>Several Myanmar military aircraft fighting rebels have crossed the border into Bangladesh and opened fire in Bandarban, causing panic among local residents. The incident occurred on Saturday, only five days after two mortar shells from the military-ruled country also crossed the border amid the ongoing crackdown on seditious elements in the country. The two fighter jets and helicopters were attacking rebels in neighbouring Rakhine state when some of the shells fell in the Ghumdhum area of Naikhyangchhari Upazila on Saturday. “The warplanes passed the area between border pillars 40 and 41 under the surveillance of Reju Amtali (Border Observation Post) in Ghumdhum around 9:20 am,” said Tariqul Islam, the district's superintendent of police. Not sure if its a sign of desperation on the Juntas part that they are willing to ignore international law and damage relations with Bangladesh in order to get a few hits on this rebel group. Wouldnt be the first time that an internal conflict in Myanmar spills over into Bangladesh, remember the the Rohingya refugees?
>Oh? Yeah, the saa is supposedly demobilizing some of its sources.
Putin and Xi to meet in Uzbekistan next week, official says
>Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping plan to meet next week in Uzbekistan, a Russian official said Wednesday, announcing a summit that could signal another step in warming ties between two powers that are increasingly facing off against the West. The meeting at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization — a political, economic and security forum that China and Russia dominate — comes at delicate times for both leaders. Putin is dealing with the economic and political fallout of his war in Ukraine that has left Russia more isolated. Xi, meanwhile, is also facing a slowing economy as he seeks a third five-year term as Communist Party leader. While he’s expected to secure it, that would represent a break with precedent. Both have seen their countries’ relations with the West deteriorate.
>Coming just ahead of China’s party congress, the overseas visits would also show Xi as confident of his position. Putin and Xi last met in Beijing in February, weeks before the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine. The two presidents oversaw the signing of an agreement pledging that relations between the sides would have “no limits.” It remains unclear whether Xi knew at the time of Russia’s plans to invade Ukraine. While offering its tacit support for Russia’s campaign there, China has sought to appear neutral and avoid possible repercussions from supporting the Russian economy amid international sanctions.
>Even though Moscow and Beijing in the past rejected the possibility of forging a military alliance, Putin has said that such a prospect can’t be ruled out. He also has noted that Russia has been sharing highly sensitive military technologies with China that helped significantly bolster its defense capability.
>please buy more drones t. Erodragon >remember the the Rohingya refugees? I remember Bangladesh seething but never really doing anything about it, presumably because that'd have gotten them absolutely SHAT. ON. internationally. > Not sure if its a sign of desperation on the Juntas part that they are willing to ignore international law and damage relations with Bangladesh in order to get a few hits on this rebel group It's honestly really fucking retarded. Then again if they don't it's gonna fester. If the nip government is smart they're going to push this story on every single available outlet every single day.
What happened to Mr. Xi, gracing Saudi with his visit?

From one of the replies: >The americans also found one in Iraq If I'm not mistaking Damn I knew some were exported but I always figured aside for some museum pieces these were scrapped for metal/parts decades ago
>I remember Bangladesh seething but never really doing anything about it, presumably because that'd have gotten them absolutely SHAT. ON. internationally. Yeah, they lodged a formal complaint, summoned the ambassador, fortified the border, etc etc. But then again, the shells landed in a populated area and didnt kill any civilians out of sheer luck. Theyre going to have to take a tougher stance imo or Myanmar will just continue to outsource its civil war into Bangladesh like what happened in the eastern DRC.
>If the nip government is smart they're going to push this story on every single available outlet every single day. itll keep the west speculating, it has to be an important meeting if it manages to get xi out of the country.
