HISTORIC Peace Deal aimed at ending years of BLOOD Feud |Trump takes Credit as U.S Eyes Key Minerals

In a historic U.S.-brokered deal, D.R. Congo and Rwanda have signed a peace agreement in Washington, witnessed by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Trump hailed it as a “glorious triumph,” though critics argue it may serve U.S. interests in Congo’s mineral-rich east. The deal includes a trade framework for critical minerals, but M23 rebels reject its legitimacy. With thousands killed and millions displaced, experts warn that without inclusive enforcement and reforms, peace may remain elusive in the volatile Great Lakes region. #CongoRwandaPeace #GreatLakesRegion #TrumpDiplomacy #PeaceDeal #M23Rebels #MineralPolitics #USBrokeredDeal #WashingtonAgreement #MarcoRubio #EasternCongoCrisis #CongoConflict #RwandaTensions #AfricanPeace #TrumpPeacePush #CriticalMinerals #ResourceConflict #DRCongoNews #RwandaNews #USForeignPolicy #CongoWar #M23Crisis #PeaceWithCaveats #Geopolitics #HumanRights #AfricaConflict #CongoRwandaDeal #TrumpSpeech #NobelPrizeComment #TruthSocialPost #EthnicViolence #PeaceVsProfit Also Read M23 Rebels and Rwandan Forces Close Goma Airport Amid Escalating Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rebels-enter-outskirts-of-goma-close-airport-eastern-congo-011-4054023.html?ref=DMDesc Rwanda Readies Hope Hostel for UK Migrants After Bill Approval :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rwanda-prepares-to-welcome-uk-migrants-011-3808459.html?ref=DMDesc Explained | How Will Indian Illegal Migrants In The UK Be Affected By The Rwanda Deportation Plan? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-how-will-indian-illegal-migrants-in-the-uk-be-affected-by-the-rwanda-deportation-plan-3807059.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.124~

"Glorious Triumph" Trump Hails ‘Historic’ Peace Deal Between DR Congo and Rwanda | White House [Video]

"Glorious Triumph" Trump Hails ‘Historic’ Peace Deal Between DR Congo and Rwanda | White House

In a landmark diplomatic moment, DR Congo and Rwanda signed a historic U.S.-brokered peace deal in Washington aimed at ending decades of deadly conflict. President Donald Trump called it a “glorious triumph” while hosting the signing ceremony in the Oval Office, flanked by VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The agreement includes “disengagement, disarmament and conditional integration” of armed groups and signals potential U.S. access to DR Congo’s rare earth minerals. Yet deep questions remain—especially regarding the M23 rebels, Rwandan troop presence, and humanitarian access. With both countries denying support for rival militias, the full terms remain classified, fueling skepticism. Trump, however, hailed it as a generational victory. Previous similar treaties have failed. But this deal, supported by earlier Qatari mediation, might offer a sliver of hope in a region long marred by instability and mineral-fueled warfare. #TrumpPeaceDeal #DRCongo #Rwanda #WashingtonTreaty #TrumpDiplomacy #PeaceTriumph #TrumpInAfrica #RareEarthAccess #RwandaConflict #CongoCrisis #MineralDeal #TrumpOvalOffice #JDVance #PaulKagame #Tshisekedi #M23Rebels #FDLR #AfricaPeaceDeal #TrumpVictory #USInAfrica ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Obama Lashes Out At Trump's ‘Lie and Confuse’ Strategy, Warns Plan to Turn US Into a Dictatorship

Former President Barack Obama has issued a stark warning about the direction of U.S. democracy, accusing Donald Trump and his allies of weakening democratic norms and echoing authoritarian tactics. Speaking at an event in Connecticut and in a separate interview, Obama compared the U.S. to nations like Hungary and Russia, where elections happen but leaders ignore the people’s voice. He urged judges, officials, and citizens to protect the Constitution and reject misinformation, warning that when truth is lost, dictatorship begins to take root. #TrumpVsObama #TrumpInauguration #ObamaInauguration #ObamaTrump #TrumpNews #ObamaSpeech #TrumpRally #AngryObama #DonaldTrump #BarackObama #TrumpThirdTerm #TrumpFourthTerm #MelaniaTrump #MichelleObama #TrumpAdministration #PresidentTrump #PresidentObama #TrumpImpression #TrevorNoahTrump #ObamaJokes #DailyShowTrump #TrumpPresidency #TrumpTariffs #ObamaMeyers #ObamaVsTrump #TrumpLatest #TrumpCorrespondents #TrumpComparison #TrumpVsObamaCrowds #TrumpVsObamaPolicies Also Read Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Soon Sign Very Big Deal With India: Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-soon-sign-very-big-deal-with-india-trump-7784501.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Israel Continues To Strike Gaza Amid Trump’s Ceasefire Claims | Kills 34 | UN Aid Trucks Looted [Video]

Israel Continues To Strike Gaza Amid Trump’s Ceasefire Claims | Kills 34 | UN Aid Trucks Looted

At least 34 Palestinians were killed as Israeli airstrikes ravaged Gaza late Friday into Saturday, according to health officials. Twelve of the dead were sheltering at the Palestine Stadium in Gaza City, with additional casualties reported in residential apartments and tents in Muwasi. The Gaza Health Ministry says the death toll from the war now exceeds 56,000 — more than half of them women and children. Amid the carnage, Donald Trump told reporters a Gaza ceasefire could arrive “within a week,” raising hopes as Israeli minister Ron Dermer prepares to visit Washington for talks. However, ceasefire conditions remain deadlocked, with Hamas willing to release hostages in exchange for ending the war — an offer Netanyahu refuses unless Hamas is disarmed and exiled. Meanwhile, UN aid convoys are being looted as Palestinians face starvation. Israel allowed only limited food supplies into Gaza after blocking aid for over two months. #GazaAirstrikes #IsraelGazaWar #PalestineStadiumAttack #TrumpGazaCeasefire #GazaTruce #RonDermer #GazaCrisis #UNAidLooted #GazaHostages #TrumpOnGaza #GazaCasualties #IsraelUnderFire #PalestinianDeaths #GazaFoodBlockade #CeasefireTalks #HamasHostageDeal #NetanyahuGaza #IranIsraelWarImpact #TrumpPeaceDeal #GazaWarNews Also Read Explosions Rock Tel Aviv, Haifa as Israel-Iran Conflict Reaches New High :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explosions-rock-tel-aviv-haifa-as-israel-iran-conflict-reaches-new-high-4182705.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's Military Airstrikes Fully Disable Yemen's International Airport Amid Houthi Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-airstrikes-disable-yemen-international-airport-011-4145405.html?ref=DMDesc UN Peacekeepers in South Lebanon Targeted by Israeli Airstrikes Amid Escalating Hezbollah Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-peacekeepers-south-lebanon-israel-hezbollah-conflict-011-3958449.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

Houthis BLASTS Israel’s Beersheba Key Sites With Hypersonic Missile | Civilians FLEE To Shelters

Just days after a major ceasefire between Iran and Israel, the Houthi rebels have resumed their missile attacks. Air raid sirens sounded in southern Israel after a ballistic missile, launched from Yemen, reportedly struck near Beersheba. Houthi leadership claims the strike is retaliation for Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza. With over 25 missiles and drones launched this month alone, the group warns of continued attacks until Israeli offensives stop. The renewed violence threatens to derail ceasefire negotiations, even as President Trump promises a Gaza truce “by next week.” #IsraelUnderAttack #HouthiForces #MiddleEastCrisis #MissileStrike #GazaBlockade #Airstrike #BreakingNews #YemenVsIsrael #BenGurionAirport #DroneAttack #MahdiAlMashat #MilitaryTensions #HypersonicMissile #ConflictUpdate #AirTrafficDisrupted #InvestorWarning #RetaliationStrike #MiddleEastWar #GazaSupport #IDFAirports #InternationalCrisis #NoFlyZone #AirportStrike #YemenNews #IsraelNews #DefenseAlert #AirRaid #GlobalTensions Also Read 'You Got Beat To Hell': Donald Trump On Iran's Victory Claim :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/you-got-beat-to-hell-donald-trump-on-irans-victory-claim-7785327.html?ref=DMDesc Mystery Shrouds Over Supreme Leader Khamenei’s Whereabouts As Iran Faces Military Crisis :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mystery-shrouds-over-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-whereabouts-as-iran-faces-military-crisis-7783667.html?ref=DMDesc Iranian Citizens Contemplate Future After 12-Day War and US-Brokered Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/12-day-war-ceasefire-iran-future-concerns-011-7783479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.125~
