The 2019 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

He was awarded the prize for his efforts to "achieve peace and international cooperation".

Ethiopia reached a peace deal with Eritrea last year, ending a 20-year military stalemate following their 1998-2000 border war.

He was named as the winner of the 100th Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, where he will receive the award in December.

It is worth some nine million Swedish crowns (about £730,000; $900,000).


Someone who might actually be worthy won the Nobel Peace Prize. Feels refreshing.

In short...he's already paid the price. He's more or less persona non-grata in the US. If he returns he goes to jail.

I'm old school bro. Tattle tales deserve to have the shyt kicked out of them on the play ground.




/e We can't treat leakers on a case by case basis. They took an oath, they broke it. WHAT they leaked doesn't matter.


So what you are saying is you support corruption and hate everything america was founded on.

Indeed. Good choice, and much less controversial than picking Greta Thunberg. Also, it's refreshing to have the prize go to someone who has already achieved something tangible. I was so sick of the Nobel Peace Prize going to persons simply as an award for good intentions or PR.

they dont take an oath to hide illegal activity against the american people from the american people.

whistle blowing and breaking NDAs are legal if exposing illegal activity. this is a simple fact in the situation.

i'm sure your next response will be "yeah but i dont like it". who gives a fuck, your just an old man, the law is the law. written by people with an IQ triple yours who dont have to resort to comparisons to the school yard.

maybe for one of the next books you claim to read avoid Danielle Steele and go for an into to basics in law and civics.

The man took an oath not to reveal classified information. The law is the law.
Despite what you may think about Snowden, the instant he shows up in the US he's gonna be arrested. THAT is how things are.

Seriously just happened again.

Officer fired through the window without identifying himself. The kicker? it wasn't even a 911 call, the neighbor called the non emergency number for a wellness check. The police officer also parked around the corner and snuck around her yard .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb4n7sddVsU&feature=youtu.be&t=89 - for the bodycam footage where he yells out a command then open fires immediately.

I would be more afraid of american cops than actual criminals at this point.
