The 2019 Nobel Peace has been awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, multiple news outlets reported early Friday morning.

In addition to his efforts to "achieve peace and international cooperation," Ahmed was also cited for his "decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighboring Eritrea," the Nobel committee said in its official statement.

According to CNN, Ahmed was awarded the 100th Peace Prize after brokering "an audacious peace deal" between the two African nations that had raged for two decades. Although Greta Thunberg had been considered a front-runner for the 2019 prize, Ahmed bested hundreds of nominees including the teen climate activist and New Zealand leader Jacinda Ardern.

You can pretty much read between the lines https://www.crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-africa/ethiopia/269-managing-ethiopias-unsettled-transition

"Working with ministries and the civil service to develop the reforms that they will implement can help dispel the impression shared by some that he is governing from a closed circle of co-ethnic and co-religionist advisers"

Translation: muzzie warlord becomes Ethiopia's Obama

Communal violence has spread with an intensity unprecedented in the past quarter-century. Ethnic militias are proliferating.

TranslatIon: Christians persecuted more than ever.

A wrong assumption based on name.

Abiy Ahmed

Stereotypical assumptions are one of societies greatest downfalls. Just look at all the hate on white right now because of stereotyping.
