Mapping control in #Syria at this exact moment of disarray is unrealistic, and any attempts are likely misleading. But here's our new map showing the last day of resistance before #Assad's govt collapsed.

Good detailed report from International Crisis Group on the communal violence in #India's #Manipur state, which after months of conflict is "divided into exclusive ethnic zones". Govt troops "now patrol the buffer zone created in between, while the militias that have formed on both sides dig trenches and wait for an opportunity to attack."
