That separation became the backbone of the Good Friday Agreement.
For anyone observing today’s Kurdish issue from abroad, the lesson is universal… Peace is built with those who carry democratic mandates, not with those who define themselves by the gun.

The UK followed a strict architecture of legitimacy. It negotiated with Sinn Fein, a party elected by voters, while keeping the IRA’s military command outside the official process.
Even Blair’s team drew a clear line. Armed actors could not become the core political interlocutors.

Zohran Mamdani, 34, is now New York’s Dark Knight.
“No more shadows, this city will be light” he said.
No cape, no weapon but the people stand with him.
For once, a superhero is fighting for the poor, not the billionaires.

Trump’s fury didn’t work.
Because in America, governors, attorneys general, even sheriffs are elected by the people.
Not appointed by Washington.
That’s the real safeguard local democracy as armor.

Media blitz followed.
Tucker Carlson in Buenos Aires.
Musk boosting Milei on X.
U.S. conservatives selling him as “Latin Trump.”
Voters had two options:
Swallow the painful cure or collapse again.
Milei won.
But on this Highway to Hell… he drives, Trump holds the GPS.

Washington jumped in.
A “$20B lifeline” from the White House with a warning:
“No win, no money.”
Then Trump summoned Milei to the Oval Office.
Called him a “Great leader!”
Another $20B announced.
That wasn’t a visit. it was a coronation.
“America’s man” in Buenos Aires.

He was real, a French detective probing the €90 million theft.
Some called him Clouseau, others the Dupond twins from Tintin.
Maybe both.
Because that day, he wasn’t just trying to solve the crime…
He was auditioning for his own movie. 🎬

Brown fedora. Tweed vest. Trench coat. Umbrella in hand.
Like a film-noir ghost walking through the Louvre courtyard.
Captured by AP’s Thibault Camus.
NYT wrote: “Is this handsome man the one to solve the heist?”
Social media buzzed: Who is he?

Since then, Netanyahu has kept Hamas alive as a “manageable enemy.”
Qatar sent over $1 billion to Gaza at least $90 million leaked into Israeli ruling circles.
Today nothing’s changed.
One rules through anger, the other through resistance.
And once again, the world is being fooled.

In 1995, Rabin and Arafat signed the Oslo peace deal.
Only two opposed it: Hamas and Netanyahu.
Netanyahu riled crowds with “God-given land is being sold,” and Rabin was shot dead by a Likud supporter.
Hamas suicide bombings killed 60 Israelis and handed Netanyahu a narrow victory over Shimon Peres.

Venezuela still holds the richest land beneath the surface and millions crushed above it.
For Trump, it’s resources.
For Maduro, power.
For the people, poverty.
In the new world order, wars are no longer for land but for what lies beneath it.

Maduro’s secret offer to Trump: “Give U.S. firms priority in oil and gold, cancel China-Russia-Iran deals, lift the sanctions.”
But Washington wanted more.
“If we change the regime, we control the mines.”
Then came the green light to the CIA, a 21st-century resource war.

The Nobel that mattered
Ballots burned.
Observers beaten.
Machado detained, forced on camera, dead threads and hiding ever since.
Yet she never left her country.
She fought and won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
Question is simple: Whose shoulders carry the peace more credibly?

A nation under siege
Over 1,877 political prisoners.
Eight million exiles, a quarter of the population.
Torture, censorship, fear.
And one woman who refused to yield: María Corina Machado.
She won the opposition primaries with 90%,
then was banned from office for 15 years.

At the UN week, #Trump stepped in: “We’ll help.”
A $20B US lifeline calmed the peso, briefly.
But Milei’s “model” began to deflate.
From rock-star rebel to a leader pleading for dollars.

The bill soon came due.. Jobless rate hit 8%, 91% of households went into debt, wages shrank.
200k construction workers & 15k factories lost.
Street protests grew, Milei lost mid-term elections.
Markets fled as he hinted at reopening the “spending tap.”

The Trump family has long profited from Gulf-funded towers, hotels, luxury projects.
Eyes now turn to Gaza’s massive rebuilding contracts.
“Peace” is a humanitarian need - but who will cash in?
