No be small thing, my people! As the world dey turn, our own Donald Trump don gather wetin dem dey call ‘Board of Peace.’ This one na new initiative wey e wan use tackle wahala for Gaza, but e get bigger plans wey dey reach far and wide. Im don call plenty world leaders come Washington, but e only invite im authoritarian pals, no European democrats wey sabi how to run things well.
The ‘Board of Peace’ na wetin Trump and e team don concoct after dem succeed negotiate ceasefire wey fit make war stop for Gaza. Dem talk say dis new phase go focus on take weapons from Hamas, di group wey cause severe wahala with di unprecedented attack wey dem launch against Israel on October 7, 2023. Wetin make sense for people wey dey talk na say Israel don kill at least 601 people since di ceasefire start, and dis na serious matter!
For di meeting wey Trump dey plan, e go dey show off lavish pledges of over $5 billion for Gaza wey suffer plenty destruction. Di buildings dey fall down like say dem dey play ‘demolition game’. Trump dey even talk say e wan build resorts over there. Na wah! E go also talk how dem go launch di International Stabilization Force wey suppose bring security go di area. Indonesia don carry body enter this matter, dem ready to send 8,000 troops if dem confirm di force!
As di meeting dey happen, dem go dey check wetin Israel dey plan, wey go include make dem seize small weapons from Hamas like di AK-47. Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, don talk say, ‘That heavy weapon wey dey do di most damage, na di main focus.’ Dis whole matter no be child’s play o! Experts dey talk say dis disarming route no go easy, but na wetin go finally tell if dis whole thing fit work.
As for Hamas, di spokesperson don shout say di ‘Board of Peace’ suppose make Israel stop di violations wey dem dey do for Gaza and also lift di long time siege wey dey make life difficult for plenty people. Na di US Institute of Peace dem go hold di meeting, na so dem fit dey study conflict resolution, nai Trump come later fire dem staff and put im name for di entrance. Talk about power!
Under di arrangement, e clear say Trump go hold veto power for di ‘Board of Peace’, and even when im don finish with di White House, e fit still dey run di show. Countries wey wan remain permanent members go need to drop $1 billion! E sweet o! Some people dey call dis meeting ‘a confused mix of ambition and narcissism’ – no be my mouth, na experts dey talk am.
Dis whole thing dey happen as Trump dey give UN di middle finger, as e don already cut funds and withdraw America from plenty vital organisations. Di inaugural meeting go dey gather Trump’s loyalist like Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Argentina’s President Javier Milei, people wey wan pepper dem enemies. Major allies like France and Canada no show face at all!
With all dis palaver wey dey happen, wetin be di way forward? E no easy to talk, but na we go dey watch di options wey go unfold as di ‘Board of Peace’ dey run. If only we fit link di reality for ground with all di ambitions wey dey here.
