Peace Finally Finds a Pulse in Gaza.

By   Justin Kirangacha| The Common Pulse/latest news/Ethiopia/Eritrea /US/ Kenya/Abroad/Africa / OCTOBER2025

WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus welcomed the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal, calling it a vital turning point for battered civilians. “The best medicine is peace,” he said, urging all sides to honor the agreement so suffering ends. 
Keywords: WHO, peace, ceasefire, humanitarian relief, Gaza health

First Phase Truce & Hostage Release: What the Deal Entails

Under the U.S.–brokered agreement, Hamas will release living hostages, while Israel commits to troop withdrawals to agreed lines and more humanitarian access into Gaza.
It’s called the “first phase” because full demilitarization, governance, and reconstruction are still on the table. 
Keywords: truce, hostage exchange, withdrawal, phase one, reconstruction

 Global Cheers & Cautious Optimism

World leaders applauded the deal. UN Secretary-General António Guterres hailed its potential to ease Gaza’s suffering. European nations urged immediate humanitarian access  India’s PM Modi called it a “step toward lasting peace.”
Yet, many warn: a ceasefire is just the beginning. Implementation, trust, and political solutions will determine if this is a turning point or a fleeting pause.
Keywords: diplomacy, implementation, world reaction, fragile peace

Health Emergency in Gaza: WHO’s Role & Risks Ahead

Dr. Tedros reassured that WHO is ready to scale up emergency health response across Gaza’s crumbled facilities. 
But the health needs are massive: damaged hospitals, shortage of medicines, malnutrition, and trauma care for the injured. Any violations of the ceasefire will jeopardize fragile gains.
Keywords: health crisis, hospitals, medical aid, recovery, WHO response

 Key Challenges & What Could Derail Peace

  • Ceasefire violations & rogue actors: Not all factions may observe the truce.

  • Delayed humanitarian aid: Flow of food, water, medicines must be protected.

  • Political vacuum & governance: Who administers Gaza during transition?

  • Security guarantee & disarmament: How to neutralize armed groups long-term?

  • Sustainability of international support: Commitment must last beyond headlines.

 What to Watch Next

  • Whether hostages are freed on time

  • Whether Israeli troops pull back fully and respect the truce

  • Whether humanitarian convoys reach the hardest-hit zones

  • Whether WHO and health partners can rebuild basic services swiftly

  • Whether political negotiations resume toward a two-state solution

  By Kiranagacha Mwaniki - The Common Pulse - Orem, Utah ;  September 13, 2025 The bustling quad of Utah Valley University was supposed to be a stage for debate and free expression.

No Exit: Biya’s Return, Democracy’s Decline

By Kirangacha Mwaniki The Common Pulse | August 2025 At 92 years old, Cameroonian President Paul Biya has signaled his intention to run for yet another term in the 2025 presidential election. Having ruled since 1982, Biya is now the second-longest-serving head of state in the world;  after Equatorial Guinea’s Teodoro Obiang. His decision has sparked outrage, resignation, and confusion among Cameroonians, many of whom have never known another leader. This re-election bid is more than just a political event;  it is a glaring symptom of a system that has resisted reform, ignored generational change, and weaponized fear to maintain the status quo. The Man Who Time Forgot Paul Biya came to power before most Cameroonians were born. He has led through the Cold War, the rise of mobile phones, the internet revolution, and the African Continental Free Trade Area — all while aging behind the walls of Etoudi Palace. He is rarely seen in public, often ruling from abroad;  mostly Swit...
