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!

For over a year, The Geopolitical Desk has been at the forefront of reporting on the growing relationship between Turkey and eastern Libya’s LNA.
From Saddam Haftar’s diplomatic breakthroughs and Ankara’s changing priorities in Tripoli to Greece’s attempts to counter Turkish influence, our reporting has followed a geopolitical realignment that culminated in Libya’s historic parliamentary vote on 20 October.
Here’s a look back at seven key articles that tracked this shift. 🧵👇
