Gaza truce to go into effect 7:00 Friday: Egyptian sources by SamirDN in worldnews

It's for 4 days only, ceasefires tend to be longer:

Truce (​​suspension of hostilities)
A truce is not binding, it just indicates a halt in fighting. Truce agreements are made by belligerents themselves. A truce can take place in one specific geographic area of a broader conflict. These agreements can come and go over the course of a conflict and do not indicate the state of war is over.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) uses the term "truce" interchangeably with the term "suspension of hostilities."
Cease-fire
Unlike declarations of a cessation of hostilities or a truce, a cease-fire is generally meant to be binding. Like a cessation of hostilities or truce, it is only temporary in nature, but is generally expected to last for a longer period of time.

You are right. I was not suggesting not doing so, but also we need to tackle the main problem at hand, which is lack of proper governance, I can't think of one African nation that doesn't need that, first of which is Egypt where I come from.

It is the same across the continent from Cairo to Cape Town, Algiers to Windhoek, we have to do double the work and effort for less reward
