• 🕊️ A peace deal signed between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda has faced significant criticism, with many claiming it is "opaque" and lacks specific details.
• ⚠️ Critics argue that Rwanda should be held accountable for violence committed across the border, with calls for justice and reparations.

Trump's Role and Media Strategy

Nobel Peace Prize Speculation

• 🏅 Following the Israel-Iran deal, some Republican members of Congress suggested Donald Trump deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, a move seen as a way to flatter him.
• 🏆 Trump himself appears to be somewhat fixated on the idea of winning the award, possibly due to envy of Barack Obama's past win.
• ⚠️ A past instance saw Pakistan nominate Trump for the prize shortly before he authorized a military strike on Iran, highlighting the unpredictable nature of such actions.
