- Agreement follows Trump-led India–Pakistan backchannel talks

Donald Trump has reentered the global spotlight — this time with a string of ceasefires and peace deals.
The latest came Friday. U.S. officials tied to the former president oversaw a surprise peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. It happened quietly but reverberated in diplomatic circles.
Calling it “one of the worst wars anyone’s ever seen,” Trump celebrated the deal. And it’s not his only move toward global peace.
Africa First, But Not Last
The Congo-Rwanda war has dragged on for decades. It’s one of the world’s deadliest, marked by rebel militias, cross-border raids, and ethnic cleansing. Millions have died.
Now, thanks to American-led negotiations involving business incentives and political guarantees, leaders from both nations shook hands. A Trump adviser who attended the meeting described it as “the most hopeful moment in years.”
And this wasn’t a one-off.
India and Pakistan’s Quiet Ceasefire
Also, this year, Trump helped mediate a fragile ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan after hostilities following a terror attack by Pakistani extremists against tourists in Kashmir.
“This would’ve exploded further without back-channel help,” said one Indian journalist. “Trump’s people got Islamabad and Delhi talking again.”
Middle East Moves: Iran, Israel, and Gaza
Trump also pushed both sides to end the so called ’12-Day-War’ between Israel and Iran this month – after the U.S. briefly joined Israel with targeted bombings of nuclear sites in Iran.
Now, Trump is turning to Gaza. Amid one of the bloodiest conflicts in the region’s history, he has begun laying the groundwork for a ceasefire.
Trump’s Gaza Peace Pitch
- Trump-linked envoy visited Cairo for Hamas talks
- Sources say Gulf allies pushed Netanyahu to accept talks
- Ceasefire could involve phased disarmament and aid corridors
- Israeli hardliners push back, fearing Trump plan rewards Hamas
- Palestinian Authority expresses cautious support
Peace Broker or Political Showman?
With Congo, Iran, Israel, Gaza, and South Asia now on his peace résumé, Trump’s backers are demanding he be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. They cite his prior Abraham Accords and argue no other recent leader has brought this many enemies to the table.
A petition has already gathered over 150,000 signatures.
Yet critics aren’t impressed.
“This is diplomacy by headlines,” one EU diplomat sneered. “Real peace requires patience, not just press releases.”
Still, the Trump team insists their work is not just show. “We don’t care who gets credit,” one official said. “We care about ending wars.”
Ukraine Still the Crown Jewel
While Congo and Gaza might be diplomatic wins, Ukraine remains Trump’s biggest unfinished business. He keeps repeating that he can end it “in 24 hours.”
That’s led to laughter from his rivals — and curiosity from some world leaders.
Insiders say Russian and Ukrainian figures have already received proposals. But nothing has stuck yet.
Controversy Around the Nobel Push
- Trump supporters call his peace work “unmatched”
- Detractors say efforts are shallow or unstable
- Nobel Committee under pressure from both sides
- Social media war erupts: #NobelForTrump trends
- Past winners include Obama, Carter, and the UN
Can Trump Really Win the Prize?
History says it’s possible. After all, Barack Obama won the Peace Prize in 2009 — mostly for hope and vision, not specific results.
By contrast, Trump’s team points to results: normalized relations between Israel and Arab states, ceasefires in South Asia, quiet skies between Iran and Israel, and now a Congo–Rwanda pact.
Is it enough?
“He deserves it more than half the winners,” one Trump donor claimed.
A Divided World Watches
In Africa, optimism is rising. “This could bring trade and stability,” said a Congolese economist. “But only if it holds.”
In Israel, reactions are split. Some applaud the calm. Others fear another Trump return will bring instability.
In Gaza, weary civilians pray the latest American initiative brings silence to the bombs. In Kashmir, residents express cautious hope for longer-lasting quiet.
The Path Ahead Is Uncertain
There are no guarantees. The Congo deal still depends on militia disarmament. Gaza talks remain fragile. And the Ukraine war continues.
But one thing is certain: Trump has inserted himself into nearly every major global conflict — and often, he’s walked away with a signature on paper.
Will it all add up to peace?
Or is this just Act One in the Trump re-election campaign?
Either way, the world is watching — and the Nobel Committee may soon have a decision to make.
