Nobels for Peace and Literature

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2019 goes to Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, for his efforts to end long, ongoing battles and conflict in his country, as well as ending incarceration of political opponents and improving the standing of women, as well as working on issues that affected other regional areas and relationships. 

The Nobel Prizes for Literature for both 2018 and 2019 were announced yesterday. Last year's literature prize was postponed due to scandals in the academy. The topic of nationalism was prevalent in each of the winner's writings.
