BreakingNews·191014 - 埃塞俄比亚领导人阿比·艾哈迈德获得诺贝尔和平奖

The Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed has won the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel committee said the 43-year-old leader won the prestigious accolade because of "his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular, for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighboring Eritrea". Since Mr Ahmed became Ethiopian Prime Minister in April 2018, he has focused his efforts on repairing relations with Eritrea. In addition, he played a pivotal role in mediating in a political crisis between Sudan and South Sudan. The UN Secretary-General said Mr Ahmed, "has set a wonderful example for others in and beyond Africa looking to overcome resistance from the past and put people first".

埃塞俄比亚总理阿比·艾哈迈德获得诺贝尔和平奖。诺贝尔委员会表示，这位43岁的领导人之所以获得这一殊荣，是因为“他为实现和平与国际合作所做的努力，尤其是他为解决与邻国厄立特里亚的边境冲突所采取的果断行动”。自2018年4月艾哈迈德成为埃塞俄比亚总理以来，他一直致力于修复与厄立特里亚的关系。此外，他还在调解苏丹和南苏丹之间的政治危机中发挥了关键作用。联合国秘书长表示，艾哈迈德“为非洲内外那些希望克服过去的阻力、以人为本的人树立了一个好榜样”。

Mr Ahmed is being viewed as a transformative leader bringing hope to his region. In June 2018, he agreed to fully implement a peace treaty signed with Eritrea in 2000, which brought peace between the two countries after two decades of conflict. Ethiopia and Eritrea are two of the world's poorest countries but they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the war. The conflict killed tens of thousands of people and further impoverished many more. The UN said Mr Ahmed, "has set a wonderful example for others in and beyond Africa looking to overcome resistance from the past and put people first." It added: "His vision helped Ethiopia and Eritrea achieve a historic reconciliation".

艾哈迈德先生被认为是一位变革的领导人，给他的地区带来了希望。2018年6月，他同意全面执行2000年与厄立特里亚签署的和平条约，该条约在两国20年冲突后带来了和平。埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚是世界上最贫穷的两个国家，但他们在战争上花费了数亿美元。这场冲突夺去了成千上万人的生命，使更多的人陷入贫困。联合国表示，艾哈迈德“为非洲内外的其他人树立了一个好榜样，他们希望克服过去的阻力，以人为本。”它还说:“他的远见帮助埃塞俄比亚和厄立特里亚实现了历史性的和解。”
