Contrary to what you would think, the prize was not awarded to Angela Merkel, John Kerry, nor Mohammad Javad Zarif, who were all high-profile nominees. The Nobel Peace Prize was given to\u00a0Tunisia&#8217;s National Dialogue Quartet. The Norwegian Nobel Committee congratulated the group that represents Tunisia&#8217;s civil society for its\u00a0<em>&#8220;decisive contribution&#8221;<\/em> to democracy after the 2011 revolution.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"story-body__h1\">Uniting Tunisia<\/h2>\n<p class=\"story-body__h1\">The National Dialogue Quartet is a coalition of\u00a0Tunisian unionists, employers, lawyers and human rights activists, namely the Tunisian General Labour Union, the Tunisian Confederation of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts, the Tunisian Human Rights League, and the Tunisian Order of Lawyers.\u00a0The group was created in 2013 after the assassination of politician\u00a0Mohamed Al-Brahimi. At the time, Tunisia was confronted to a political environment in which and an Islamist-led government was clashing with a secular opposition, resulting in violent street protests and assassinations. The quarter\u00a0was mandated to organize talks between the Islamists and the seculars, and to prepare a roadmap that included a technocratic government and an independent election commission. Mokhtar Trifi, the honorary president of the Tunisian Human Rights League, told the press:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"story-body__h1\">\u201cThis is extraordinary news. It\u2019s a clear encouragement for the wider process in Tunisia, and for all the work and dialogue that went into the move to elections and democracy. Crucially, it shows that the world is watching us. We have much more to accomplish and are facing new challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10465\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10465\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/Tunisian_National__3468285b.jpg\" alt=\"source\" width=\"700\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/Tunisian_National__3468285b.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/Tunisian_National__3468285b-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.afrizap.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/10\/Tunisian_National__3468285b-85x53.jpg 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i.muyinteresante.com.mx\/dam\/historia\/15\/10\/9\/Tunisian_National__3468285b.jpg\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">{adinserter CNP5}<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>A long way to go<\/h2>\n<p>Although this prize is a reward, as Tunisians stuck with their democratic principles, a few worries remain.
