Trump’s Gaza Gamble: Nobel or Not?

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

🇮🇱 “If He Ends the War, He Earns the Prize”

When Doubt Meets Hope
“Trump may not be my cup of tea,” writes Pauline Njoroge yet she lays down a powerful challenge: if he can make peace in Gaza, she’ll admit he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. That tension  skepticism turned conditional hope   captures the emotional stakes in today’s headlines.


From Words to Ceasefire: Trump’s Bold Declaration

“The War Has Ended”
Before landing in Tel Aviv, Trump told journalists that the Gaza war is over. What does he mean by that? A ceasefire? A political settlement? Or a fragile lull? The world watches closely, trying to parse whether this is a breakthrough  or a rhetorical flourish. 

Hostages Free: A Glimmer in the Darkness

Hope Returns, One Release at a Time
Earlier today, Hamas released seven Israeli hostages   the first hints of life, reunion, and relief in a conflict that has wreaked heartbreak. Their freedom doesn’t resolve the war, but it cracks open the door to trust and humanity.

The Road to a Real Peace: Conditions & Consequences

What Must Happen Next
But releasing hostages is only one part. For peace to truly take root, multiple checks stand ahead:

  • Demilitarization of Hamas and surrender of its military wings

  • Reconstruction under civilian technocrats, not militants

  • Safe return for Palestinians and infrastructure rebuilt

  • Security assurances for Israel to trust the outcome

Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan outlines those prerequisites but the devil lies in the enforcement. 

Skepticism, Praise & Power Plays

Critics Wait, Supporters Cheer
Many remain cynical: can Trump deliver the accountability and stability his rhetoric promises? Others already hail him as a peacemaker  Netanyahu called him Israel’s “greatest friend.”  Protests even interrupted his remarks before the Knesset  a reminder that political fragmentation and dissent are far from over. 

What Pauline’s Words Ask of Us

Morality, Memory & Pressure
By staking acclaim (a Nobel) on real outcomes, Pauline doesn’t just challenge Trump   she challenges all observers. We must insist that ceasefires lead to justice, safety, and lasting peace  not just press releases. History doesn’t reward empty promises.

If the Silence Holds

When Silence Becomes a Legacy
If the missiles truly fall silent, children resume play, families are reunited, and Gaza is rebuilt with dignity  then Pauline’s caveat becomes a verdict: yes, perhaps even a truth. Until then, this moment is a fragile truce between hope and uncertainty.

Utah Man, 22, Charged in Killing of Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk

  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. Instead, it became the scene of political violence that has shocked the nation. Charlie Kirk, 31, a conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 while addressing students at a “Prove Me Wrong” debate. Authorities say the shots came from a nearby rooftop, fired by a young man who had quietly prepared for weeks. On Friday, Utah County officials announced that Tyler James Robinson, 22 , had been taken into custody and charged in connection with Kirk’s killing. He is being held without bail at the Utah County Jail. From Apprentice to Accused Killer Robinson grew up in Washington County, Utah, in what neighbors describe as a quiet household.

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...
