Ethiopia, deceived by its Nobel Prize

All the “nerds” on the planet have excitement in the air. And I. The Nobel Committee winners of its prestigious prizes, the most valuable on the planet, begins the Nobel in Medicine on Monday. The week ends with the Nobel Peace Prize. It is important to be aware of this.

The 329 candidates running this year are neither shady nor less respectable than previous years. The classics are: environmental activist (Young Sweden, Greta Dunberg), anti-Russian (Alexei Navalny) and civil rights organization (Black Lives Matter).

This Nobel has the gift of evoking the most intense emotions. Many in the United States – and of course elsewhere in the world – are still wondering about Barack Obama’s election in 2009, when he was elected in November 2008 and took office in January 2009, “doing nothing concrete to strengthen international diplomacy” and, as the Norwegian parliamentary committee put it.

If Obama, why not Trump?

Surprisingly, Donald Trump has despised this choice in all the forums he has passed, but paradoxically, his name was submitted for this year’s prestigious award – it was well taken! – Comes with a $ 1.3 million grant.

An official elected from Norway proposed his candidacy for the Abrahamic Treaty, the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and a small step on the path to peace in the Middle East.

Can the perpetrators of the homicide attack on Capitol Hill always shrug their shoulders with Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama and Martin Luther King? Don’t hold your breath: The Norwegian panel’s discussions are intriguing, but not so bizarre.

Becomes Nobel Peace Prize laureate

There are choices to hunt down Nobel Committee members and Abi Ahmed is one of them. The award was presented in 2019 to the Ethiopian Prime Minister for ending a decades-long war with Eritrea.

Abiya Ahmed deserved the award for launching his ambitious reform program, freeing thousands of political prisoners, lifting restrictions on the media, welcoming deportees with both hands and appointing several women. Government.

Powder in the eyes, according to everyone who closely follows what is happening in this persecuted corner of Africa. For the past two years, he has plunged Ethiopia into a fratricidal war in a rebel stronghold of Tigris. Amnesty International has grown to the point where it speaks of crimes against humanity.

Abi Ahmed, who has been accused by the UN of starving more than five million Tigris – an unprecedented gesture – has ordered the deportation of seven UN envoys. Ethiopia was cut off from the world.

Beware of the Nobel Peace Prize! He denounced it in his Thanksgiving speech as “the perfect expression of the hell of war.” Talk to the Digraons!
