‘Great Day for Africa’: The Trump Administration broker to eliminate the Congo-Randa Treaty; The US President says he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize
He said “a great day for Africa”, US President Donald Trump on Friday announced on Truth Social that his administration along with State Secretary Marco Rubio, has successfully broke a peace agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda. The purpose of the treaty is to eliminate one of Africa’s most deadly and longest -lasting struggles and is to be formally signed in Washington on 27 June.Trump wrote, “I am very happy to say that I arranged more than other wars, with the state secretary Marco Rubio, with a wonderful treaty between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Rampa, which was known for his war, which was known for violent bloodshed and death, more than other wars.” “This is a great day for Africa and, quite clearly, a great day for the world!”
The announcement follows a three -day closed door talks between representatives of two nations in Washington. The conflict is concentrated in the mineral-rich eastern provinces of DRC and has lost more than six million people in the last three decades. The turmoil is fuel by competition to control valuable resources such as Koltan, Cobalt, Lithium and Gold.According to a CBS News report, Shanti Rakh was launched at the invitation of DRC President Felix Tskedi, who requested Trump’s administration to take steps after several unsuccessful efforts in reconciliation. According to the US State Department, the agreement includes preventing enmity, respecting regional borders, removal of rebel groups, withdrawal of displaced persons and commitments to integrate local economies.
‘Transaction’s diplomacy’
While many people welcome the potential end of enmity, analysts remain alert. Daniel Van, a senior analyst at the Africa-centered intelligence firm, signal risk, said that the deal symbolizes a change in American strategy on the continent. “The days of diplomatic soft power are over,” he said. “It is a transaction’s diplomacy at work.”A major concern is the M23 militia, which controls parts of the Eastern DRC, but was not part of the peace talks. The group is believed to have been supported by Rwanda, although Rwanda officials have always denied this. M23 has recently handled areas in two provinces. “M23 is still pushing, despite peace talks, for regional benefits,” Wan Deelan warned.Sources told CBS News that Rwanda M33 may agree to withdraw soldiers supporting the fighters, while DRC may allow small -scale mining to root through Rwanda in its area. However, without direct participation or commitment of M23, observers are concerned that the conflict can simply continue under new terms.
Tiffany Trump’s father -in -law appointed as senior advisor to the White House
Amidst the talks, Tiffany Trump’s father -in -law, Masad Boulas, was appointed as a senior advisor to the White House in Africa. He traveled throughout the region to meet the leaders and promote American business relations, especially in mining. The Trump administration is allegedly watching to re -establish American interests in Africa’s important mineral supply chain, where the Chinese firms currently dominate.The DRC has started re -starting laws by mining laws to make the country more attractive to Western investment. The US has already given enough funds for the infrastructure, including $ 560 million towards the Lobito Corridor, a rail project that connects the DRC’s copper belt to an Angoll port, offers an important trade route.
‘I will not get the Nobel Peace Prize for this’: Trump
Even though some people suspect whether the treaty would actually work, Trump used the moment to tell what he sees as his unseen efforts to bring peace around the world.“I will not get the Nobel Peace Prize for this … but people know, and all this matters to me!” He said on Sathya Social, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia with previous efforts to solve the conflicts with the Abraham Agreement in the Middle East.
