The Nobel Peace Prize 2015 awarded to Tunisian National Dialogue

The Nobel committee upset the odds. The Nobel Peace Prize 2015 was awarded on Friday the quartet leading the Tunisian national dialogue.

Although the predictions prove difficult given that 273 candidates were running, several names had hoisted among the favorites in recent days. Most observers felt indeed that the Norwegian Nobel committee would seek to shine light on the efforts for nuclear disarmament, 70 years after Hiroshima, or the migration crisis that has spread in recent months to Europe.

Thus, the names of Angela Merkel, for his handling of the migration crisis, Pope Francis, used prognoses, Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege, who treats women raped in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the Eritrean priest Mussie Zerai, circulated, alongside those of the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Setsuko Thurlow and Sumiteru Taniguchi, or the chief US diplomat John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, for key agreement they were able to conclude on the Iranian nuclear.

The Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded in Oslo on December 10, anniversary date of the death of its founder, industrialist and philanthropist Alfred Nobel Swedish. It consists of a medal, a diploma and a check for 8 millions Swedish kronor (about € 855,000).
