Alfred Nobel said am sceptical as to its results
“I intend to leave after my death a large fund for the promotion of the peace idea, but I am sceptical as to its results.” Alfred Nobel.
Alfred Noble clearly mentioned his fear that the award can be given to a wrong person.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights. … Suu Kyi’s struggle of course was the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in recent decades.
After 25 years of the award, she was accused of the genocide against the Rohinga community at the United Nations top court. More than 740,000 Rohingya to flee into neighbouring Bangladesh in 2016 and 2017 during the ensuing violence. Survivors have recounted harrowing atrocities including gang rape, mass killings, torture and widespread destruction of property at the hands of the Myanmar army.
Abi Ahmed of Ethiopia was awarded the Noble Prize in 2019 for the so called peace initiation with Eritrea’s Isayas Afwerki. They described the motivation for the prize “ for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea.” Despite several sceptics on the award. Among the Eritrean diaspora, many voiced disapproval for the Nobel Peace Prize focusing on the agreement with Eritrea when so little had changed in practice.
After 2 years of the award, Abi Ahmed declared full-scale civil war accompanied by air bombardments on his northern part of his country ruled by the regional government Tigray. There are different views as to the cause of the civil war and it is normal for people to accuse each other. It is not the aim of this small article though to analyse.
However many will agree on the way this could have being handled and as a peace awarded person to choose peace no matter what the outcome will be, even to the extent it costs your power is what it means to be a Nobel Prize winner.
So let us discuss now; who is mistaken, the one who gave the Award or the awarded person for not being genuine?
Have your say
What message do you want to send to Norwegian Noble Committee?

In all honesty, conciousness and fairness, the above quoted statement is slanted. The war was started by Tigrai. THIS IS THE FACT. There is no ‘ifs’ and ‘buts ‘ about it. Then Ethiopia reacted to the action of Tigrai, with full power. The end result is the destruction of the country but History should not be slanted. Let us all be fair and truthful, as much as we can. THE END
Brother rezen, isn’t too early to tell who really started the war? You how much I enjoy reading ideas and opinions. Anyways, I can’t say much now, because I am not sure if you are the same rezen that I know or someone else?
Please do your home work, brother. There are series public statements and actions over several months that clearly show PM Abiy was preparing for war. Finally, he ordered his army in Tigray to attack Tigray government and by God’s grace info was leaked 2-3 hours before the planned attack. Tigray defense forces successfully blunted the attack. You can have your own opinion but you cannot have your own facts. Tigray has been and is now begging for peace. Tigray is not strong enough to salivate for war but it does not mean the weaker always loses a war. Tigray has unique reasons to win the war simply because Tigray is fighting to protect its people, culture and its id whereas Abiy and his allies are fighting to control and subjugate the people of Tigray.
Please don’t report that is not true of Eritrean Involvement on the war in Ethiopia. You may be against the regime in Eritrea but this another topic. We are all against the regime in Eritrea, but Eritrea is not the property of Isayas Afwerki. The report seems Ethiopians grown in Eritrea.
. The people who gave the award supposed to study his accomplishments and background vey diligently . I remember while he was receiving the Nobel price too many people from Tigray and Eritrea were protesting . I know it was given to him a as encouragement but bottom line is whatever you do a leopard can’t change it’s stop. Right he is bombing air strikes against civilians in Tigray region working in cahoots with the dictator and vicious Isayas Aforki. Abye Ahmed is responsible for hundred thousands deaths and displacement and all these gigantic losses. From Nobel price winner to civilians killer. What a tremendous shame. A profound let down to the entire world.
A nobel prize was given to the wrong person. This is shameful. He declared a war on the innocent people and this is completely a genocide. So the Norwegian nobel prize committee should have revoked the nobel prize.
Abiy ahmed tricked and lied to his people and the world with assumptions which he didn’t implement. His real character is now evident as he opens civil war in Ethiopia. He is the Worst dictator Ethiopia has ever seen. Revoke the Nobel prize!
Noble Peace Prize, mostly, is warded to prospective Norwegian foreign policy, and by extension western world foreign policy, implementer. It is awarded as an incentive (legal bribe) to do western governments political and economic bidding. There was nothing ‘noble” about PM Abiy before and after he came to power. From his fake piety to his foul-mouthed attack against certain ethnicities, his handling of high profile murders and finally his source of finance (backward Arab monarchies). I believe we, the people of Africa especially, should be skeptical of any important public office holder who receives Noble Peace Prize. The western world wants to control the African economic and political policy using its so called free markets. Many African people do not get much benefit from allowing this laisezz faire free market. There was no basis for this award to be given to PM Abiy except implementing western economic interest. They tried to lure the Ethiopian people to elect him because of the prize but they failed.
Ask for a refund of the monies and the award itself and give it to Greta with a retro pay, that said, how do someone bring this issue for discussion as war crimes is being committed upon people we are related. It shows how cold and inhumane we are becoming. You know, if you can see beyond this chaos and darkness, there is an opportunity for us to seal the deal today, right now, however we are not looking for those opportunities, if we were, we wouldn’t have squandered hundreds of opportunities in the past to deliver our people from this terrestrial inferno they are in. If you are not up to the task, leave the poor people alone. I have my say.
Now days its meaningless or no value Norwegian Nobel price .
Shame on you Norwegian Nobel prize Committee!!
Abiy is a dictator, a murderer and a traitor. He is attacking his own country people with the help of an outsider. Tigray people are Ethiopians. And all Ethiopians should protect them from outsiders and especially from the savage murderer Isaias Afewerki. Isaias has eliminated countless innocent Eritreans. Abiy, shame of you to be a friend of Isaias! All you have learned from him is being a cruel murderer. And there you go; you are murdering your own people, the people of Tigray. Tigray people deserve to live. Leave them alone.
This noble prize must be returned back and given to someone who deserve it.
The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded at leas six times in the past decades as far as we can remember. Abiy Ahmed,2019 & Aung San Su My, 1991 are the worst receipients/choices the international community has ever seen because their recognition was second guessed without due diligence. That is why the achievements that were exalted at the time iby the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee proved flawed and questionable in hindsight
With regard to Abiy Ahmed, it is not only his NPP that is questionable but also his PHD title which he claims to have earned in peace and conflict resolution. He and the institution that awarded him the title have failed to come up with any verifiable proof.
He has declared war. Leaving all reasons for starting the war behind, the fact that he declared war to a full escalation, suggests that the Award was given to undeserving person.
Please differentiate b/n Federal Gov’t and provincial government. If the provincial doesn’t accept the rules set by the Federal then it is logical the existing situation will happen.
By the way it is not a rule missiles to be under provincial government, so let us analyze.
Abiy Ahmed is a war criminal who should tried in Hague. In the mean time his Novel Peace Prize should be revoked. He has led this country in to ashes. Since coming to power he has imprisoned opposition politicians, journalists and has killed a lot of civilians. The crime that he has committed against the Ethiopian people in the last two years is huge. Now he has has immersed the country in to a civil war that is killing thousands of young lives on both sides. Please revoke him the honor and clear the way for him to be tried in the Hague for genoicde.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awards Nobel Peace Prize prematurely without dip understanding a person’s background and future ambition to list Abiy Ahmed is one of those people. Abiy Ahmed is a former army general who fought alongside of the Ethiopian army in the 1998 -2000 Eritrean -Ethiopian war he has a blood stained on his hand of innocent people. I wonder what the Norwegian Nobel Committee are saying currently. Do they regret?
They need to set forward and apologize for the woman and children suffering by the indiscriminate bombardment and tragic activity their peace Nobel prize winner is committing. Moreover he ignores international and African union call for peace.Setup and contribute your value history will judge the complicit
Well, the did horrible mistake by selecting Dr.Abiy Ahmed for noble peace prize award. It significantly reduce the prize value. It call it early, there is no peace in Eritrea and Ethiopia , he want to follow the Eritrean dictator Essayas Afeworki foot step to be dictator in Ethiopia. He ignites civil war too. It is shame for the Norwegian noble. peace award.
If the cause of this war is the election by Tigray then The federal government is should be brought to justice. Unless anyone is simply dumb the excuse given by Federal government to postpone election has no merits.
If the cause of war was the killing of a singer, again, the federal government should be brought to justice. Does the federal government plan to go to war for any singer that gets killed? Where are the killers and where is the evidence? This also does not hold any merits.
If the cause of the war is the fact that Tgray refused to make peace with Eritrea. Well, then the federal government failed to do its work. Once peace was deculaired Dr Abiy went to Honeymoon right after the peace with a devil and his followers up north. Dr Abiy had several options without declaring war. Dr Abiy forgot that basic elements of military moves he had on the deck. Like pulling all military on boarder locations; taking quick and decisive internal action from tigray ranking leaders. Or work internally to resolve issue before deculairing peace with Eritrea. Dr Abiy was swimming deep down on his honeymoon dose of drugs. Before making peace with your next door, first make sure your own house is in order. Order as in making peace internally. So this reasoning is also is simply meritless
Leaving all other possible cause for the war out, let us jump right to the possibly a key source for the war. Ethnicity and the fact that Mr Isayas gotten in Dr Abiy’s head. What is being witnessed is a sad sage of Ethiopia becoming like another Somalia. Look for every place Mr Isayas has his hand. It is like cursed. Dear friends, to wage war is easy but owning it and finishing it is very expensive. Price of innocent lives will be gone and soon after that Dr Abiy and leaders in Tigray will be singling like love birds – Oh poor the young and the old who would be shedding much blood.
Pm Abi Ahmed is mileading person as announced peace and love for every body . but this can’t last long. He has two face. And now he is destroing the Tigrinya speakes in Eritrea in cooperation with the very bad president of Eritrea. “Tell me with whom you go and I will tell who you are”
He is learning Isayas Afewerki’s bad ideolog.
Reboke the novel peace price.
And take action on Isayas Afewerki so that the world will get peace.
Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia has proved and is proving that he has a manipulative mindset, unnoticed by the world.
Given that as he first came into play, he came up preaching peace, love forgiveness and the like, mainly to manipulate successfully the minds and hearts of the people in Ethiopia.
He went further managing to manipulate the world getting an undeserved Nobel Peace Prize for hugging and engaging with a renowned tyrant Isaias Afwerki of the doomed Eritrea.
All this manipulative ways culminating in perpetrating war and disdain between the Amhara and Tigray tribes.
Abiy Ahmed is a talkativ cheater & liar. He should give back the Nobel peace prize. He doesn’t deserve at all.
It was wrong from the beginning there was no peace on the ground at all nothing was done to assure peace & prize him. Now he officially opened a civil war!! We many Eritreans have opposed in the time!!!!
The Nobel peace prize committee should take an action other wise the world loses the trust on you.
Under Ethiopia’s Federal constitution each state has the right to hold its own regional election. Instead, the federal government failed to hold its own national election on time under the pretext COVID-19 pandemic. This can not under any circumstance be justifiable as many nations have exercised their own. Ironically, the recipient of the Nobel Price contrary to the spirits of the letter opted a military solution to camouflage its failure in the handling of the constitutional crisis. The committee is duty bound to reconsider the award as it sets a dangerous precedent to future potential nominees and awardees as well.
I would recommend nobel prize committee to strip awards from Aung san zu ki, and apiye ahmed they poth committed vicious atrocities of ethnic cleansing, brutal killing, racial profiling, displacement and many other heinous crime against humanity.
