Abiy Ahmed Ali--Nobel Peace Prize Winner!

Abyi Ahmed Ali, Prime Minister of Ethiopia, won the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize, working tirelessly to promote peace between age-old rivals Ethiopia and Eritrea, fighting an on and off thirty year war .  There is no guarantee that the peace he has forged will holds, but this is the best chance it has at the moment.

He is a low-key man who exposed himself to enemy fire many times, offering to broker peace between two unstable countries that have fought each other for centuries.  This is closer to the vision and reason behind the Nobel Peace Prize.

In a sick world, to see such a man win the Prize is inspirational and gives hope to everyone.  Especially in a war torn place like Africa.  Peace is still a long way off, but Abiy Ahmed Ali brought it  lot closer!
