Pretty remarkable: CNN reporter Julia Vargas Jones is live ON CAMPUS as the NYPD gathers outside Columbia University. 'I could only get in because I'm a student,' she notes, because she's also a grad student at Columbia Journalism

For those who celebrate, I wish you a beautiful Eid surrounded by the comfort of family and friends- thinking of those who lost so much of that warmth during the recent senseless wars.

My colleagues Crisis Group are working on analysis of the Islamic State claim of responsibility for the Moscow attack. It's worth noting that ISKP has not flourished under the Taliban, suffering losses of personnel and territory. This is @ACLED data, with our calculations.

A lot of Moscow analysis has conflated IS and ISKP, arguing the Taliban takeover made Afghanistan a 'safe haven for jihadis', etc

The reality is much more complicated. And it's so important to pay attention to that nuance

While I'm not aligned with the schools or implementers of peace or constructive journalism, I believe our problem analysis aligns. I propose that a potential solution lies in enhancing professionalism within journalism. Join Tanja Aitamurto, Cathrine Gyldensted and me on Wednesday!

English version of Sabawoon Samim's report, 'Sending Money Home: The impact of remittances on workers, families and villages' available here. It's a fascinating deep dive into Afghans working in the Gulf and their economic and cultural impact back home
