Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed collects the Nobel Peace Prize, appealing for unity as ethnic violence flares in his country
During his speech, Abiy was quick to praise Afwerki as his "partner and comrade-in-peace" — the only leader Eritrea has known since it gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993.
"At present, this work seems to be at a standstill," said the head of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Berit Reiss-Andersen. In his Nobel speech, he denounced the "evangelists of hate and division" who are "wreaking havoc in our society using social media."
