Ethiopia's peacemaking prime minister emerges as a Nobel favourite via SABCNewsOnline

is a possible contender for the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for the reconciliation he forged in 2018 with Eritrea. He’s currently the bookmakers’ favourite to win after climate change activist Greta Thunberg. The winner is due to be announced on Friday.

“The situation between the two countries ran into deadlock, so it needed that courage somehow to change the situation and that’s really what happened, and credit goes to the Prime Minister for doing that, but on the other hand I would rather say it was pushed too fast and after a year we haven’t seen a full scale institutionalization of that peace process,” said Dereje Feyissa, a professor at Addis Ababa University.

But some are uneasy about Abiy’s leadership style, which both fans and critics say often relies on personal initiative and charisma instead of government institutions “A year ago, there was nothing but this kind of relying on this charismatic political resources, because there was ideological crisis and the ruling party was deeply divided so he could not really rely on the party structure so in that sense charismatic persona had its own pacifying role, but I think we have reached a level where this is no longer fit for the purpose, there must be some kind of concrete policies and deal with structural problems and challenges,” Feyissa added.

Africa's news leader.The United Nations is facing a liquidity crisis that is worse than any that it has ever confronted in at least a decade. No such.
