A few minutes now the ceremonies being attended by the royal family seated on the podium at the noriegas abbey ahmed the Nobel Committee and its secretary on the pictures there is a nobel chairman who will be also delivering a speech and explaining why the Nobel Committee choose to select as its peace prize winner this year the ceremony also being attended to by the norwegian royal family keeping with a tradition that goes back to 1000. 00 or 5 and theyre taking a seat right now and the rows of seats behind the royal family are occupied by representatives of governments the government the store ting and the diplomatic corps as well and other specially invited guests so the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony about to begin in oslo lets bring in our diplomatic editor james space as we wait for the speeches to begin james normally you and ill force would be in oslo covering this ceremony and all saw the interview with a Nobel Peace Prize laureate but a very Different Program this year while there is a pretty star. Handed program for the Nobel Peace Prize that been established over many years and it includes this important ceremony which is clearly the centerpiece because this is when the peace prize is awarded but there are other things that have become standard include the day before the peace prize a News Conference and they include the sept interview which for the last 3 years aljazeera has been the media partner of the Nobel Committee and as you say yourself and myself have been in the city hall and how to chance in front of the audience and live on aljazeera to quiz the Nobel Laureate all laureates thats none of that happening this year yes the ceremony is taking place and yes were going to hear from. When he speaks in his speech when he accepts the award but he is not getting pressed with any of the questions and that is his choice although these are standard things that are in the standard package he has declined the media parts of them and has not given the normal press. Opportunities that previously Nobel Laureates of done and in fact this is the 1st time that these parts of the proceedings have not taken place since president obama declined to to to to do those things as well when he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 and so of course tradition james for the Award Ceremony to take place in a setting of speeches and also artistic performances as were seeing right now on the live pictures and the 1st speech is expected to come from the chairman of the norwegian Nobel Committee mrs berry teresa anderson. Will explain the Committee East choices and on the choice of the committee this year precisely james being recognized for reaching a Peace Agreement with ethiopia his neighbor and long time. I mean fact every triac just 3 months after he took office hes being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize but not every 3 years leader i. Z. s of iraqi with holmey reach peace why would the Nobel Committee have made that choice working they made a choice at a very early stage of course because he only became Prime Minister 20 months ago and i think the reason that there are 2 on the stage is perhaps the same thing that we saw 4 years ago when president santos of colombia was rewarded i think they feel that one side perhaps has done more of the work in terms of the diplomatic overtures but also that one side is perhaps not worthy of a peace prize this ultimate. Being awarded to it yes we do have a situation where ethiopia and eritrea now have diplomatic relations and that is obviously good after a long standoff from before a brutal 30 year war but the situation inside eritrea has not got much better even though there are now relations between the 2 countries the certainly arent open borders so i think the Nobel Committee doesnt want to to reward. Has made a very big changes yet ok james were going to listen now to the norwegian Nobel Committee chairman mrs berry and mrs ladies and gentleman the norwegian Nobel Committee has awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 29 teen 2 s e o p n Prime Minister our command Prime Minister. The award bestowed upon you rests on 3 major achievements 1st your crucial neuro in creating peace between every tear and peer. And 2nd your efforts to build democracy in ethiopia by strengthening Civil Liberties and developing institutions and 3rd but not least the award is given to you for your contribution to peace and reconciliation processes in east and North East Africa for almost 3 decades there has been sea areas discord between eritrea and ethiopia at times even full war between the 2 countries. The hostilities have involved land disputes military clashes. Along your common borders and a permanent breach in diplomatic and political relations since 2002 it has been developed into what has become known as a no peace no war situation. Prime minister. You have been called the man of the moment since touring your 1st days in office as Prime Minister you recognize recognize the impetus which the transitional moment gave you and swiftly address the deadlocked situation u. C. S. D. The initiative and were the main architect behind the peace negotiations that were successful they conducted with eritrea however without the positive response of president is sayas a very clear the conclusion of the 2 peace treaties would not have been possible. This is brought significant changes the 2 nations of every chair in ethiopia have in fact the cleared peace that in itself is a major step forward the peoples of the 2 countries are increasingly able to travel and reunite border disputes have been settled and demarcation line sub been drawn up in the cordons with the arbitration ruling of an International Boundary commission back in 2002. Political and diplomatic relations have been restored how much work remains to fully implement the intentions of the Peace Agreements several in important border crossings remain closed and the peoples of eritrea and ethiopia therefore have limited access to one another the Peace Agreements also incorporate ambitions of social cultural and Economic Development at present this work seems to be at a standstill it is the hope of the new weve been Nobel Committee that your previous achievements coupled with the added encouragement of the peace prize will spur the parties to further implementation of the peace treaties. Dr. Med you were appointed Prime Minister in the country facing multitudes of challenges regional and ethnic divides have resulted in approximately 3000000 internally displaced persons these people are homeless within their own country and desperately in need to return to their communities you are also confronted with the daunting task of stimulating Economic Development battling unemployment and improving Education Health care and infrastructure all of these tasks are critical Building Blocks in the process of constructing peace the concept of peace must incorporate social justice and material improvement that will benefit all people. During your 1st 100 days as Prime Minister. Due to several initiatives to promote peace and democratic reform in your country. A strong statement was made when you appointed women to 50 percent of the ministerial posts in your cabinet. As a woman myself i would say that this is a wise move. An equally wise move. Has been to appoint the worlds 2nd minister of peace another woman naturally mis is moved very art coming in who is present here today. Thank you the thank you. Even the president of ethiopia is now a woman in addition to which you have appointed a female Supreme Court chief justice. Mr Prime Minister lifting the existing state of emergency was a matter of urgency for you you granted amnesty to thousands of Political Prisoners there by acknowledging that opposition is part of a healthy democratic and vironment knowing that free speech is a cornerstone of democracy you abolished public censorship and thereby enabled the development of a free and independent press you have strengthened Civil Society by taking a strong stance against corruption and bribery in the Public Sector you have declared a commitment to hold free and democratic elections which are a preview requisite for true democracy. The no we didnt Nobel Committee stands behind you and support you and your efforts for a democratic peaceful society. In recognizing your work by awarding you the noble peace prize we were not expressing an opinion on how or if you should lead the ethiopian people in the future the leadership of ethiopia and its political platform must be decided by ethiopian people the ethiopian people alone our award is based on the will of our friend nobel and we recognize your and evers being in the true spirit of that will you have chosen a path that we believe will consider it peace and prosperity in your country dr. We are aware that during the course of your life you have walked several different paths you were born into a traditional family of simple means to a mother who was another mara Orthodox Christian and to a father who was a normal muslim. Diversity seems to be in your origin. As an adult you had a long military career including participation in a United Nations peacekeeping operation and. Before permanently entering ethiopian politics you held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel on top of that you have been able to complete your ph d. At the institute of peace and Security Studies in at the university of are this. And please permit me to also a personal trait to your list of merits your profound your military you rarely speak publicly of your achievements and your success the complexity of your background has made you well suited for the 3rd task and come past in our acknowledgment of your achievements today namely your work for peace and rick reconciliation in the east african region. You have put yourself at the disposal of your neighbors in the region to mediate disputes and conflicts instead downed you have mediated between the military regime and the civil opposition to find a transitional solution in the aftermath of bussy leadership. Your efforts have been much appreciated by the parties involved and it has resolved rhys of resulted in the signing of a draft constitutional declaration which aims at ensuring a smooth transition into civil rue you have also been engaged in peace and reconciliation talks in south sudan and have been willing to address the very real need of both sudan and south sudan to find and revitalize Peaceful Solutions to the great troubles that have afflicted their countries additionally you have sought to mediate between kenya and somalia in their protracted conflict over rights to disputed marine air here there is now hope for a resolution to this conflict and finally you made crucial contributions to normalizing the diplomatic and political relationship between djibouti and every chair. You have by this demonstrated an understanding that peace among neighbors is essential in the troubled region. You have made common cause with all the stakeholders from every tree djibouti sudan south sudan and kenya who have participated in promoting mediation and peaceful resolution. You represent a new generation of African Leaders who realize that Armed Conflict and ethnic christin that is must be resolved by peaceful means this is peace prize is a recognition of all the efforts made by all the nations and individuals involved. They say that good news rarely ever rives from the horn of africa historically good news did in fact come from africa. Is the oh here is the cradle of human kind the 3rd 1st homo sapiens emigrated from the territory of your country. In this sense we are all ethiopians. Of the in your comfort tree has a unique history. Also within an african context since it was never colonialized by any western power. It is i and it is in part for this very reason that ethiopia is home to the african union. Or if i that the good news today is your and. To establish a new order of peace initiatives openness and peaceful mediation to find new solutions to our own disputes than the weve been Nobel Committee fully understands that peace is created in cooperation with others but when we are awarding the peace prize to you as an individual because you have personally made an extra ordinary difference across several arenas it is the to tell how the t. Of your effort is that convinced us that it is you mr Prime Minister who have made the most significant contribution to peace in the past year in phrasing my statement this way i am in fact quoting the terms of the will of alfred nobel. You have also fulfilled another requirement according to the whale namely to strengthen fraternity both between peoples and between nations. The 1st african to receive the Nobel Peace Prize albert literally. Eloquently expressed the vision of the peace prize in his acceptance speech here in oslo on 10 december 1961 speaking as a minister of the church shortly before the Christmas Holiday is he said. May the day. When the people of the world will rouse themselves and together effectively stamp out any threat to peace in whatever quarter of the world it may be found when that day comes there shall be peace on earth and goodwill amongst men as was announced by the angels. Albert literally is vision probably exceeded even Alfred Nobels imagination. But 1st we can use it as an idea and inspiration to create more justice more fraternity and more peace. But if we are to achieve that goal we must get it to work. It is exactly the job you have taken upon yourself. Thank you i thank you. Oh. Oh. Mr Prime Minister i got lost in words im here to give you an award. In the floor and everything. The way it was. But. They have it ethiopias Prime Minister abbey how many has just read the received the Nobel Peace Prize medal from the no we know bell Committee Chairman mrs Barrett Anderson who gave a lengthy speech there presenting the laureate and also accounting for the committees choice she highlighted 3 major achievements that ahmed has made and that is peace with course promoting democratic reforms in ethiopia which include overseeing the release of Political Prisoners and abolishing Media Censorship and she also acknowledged what he called his positive positive response. The positive response of eritreas leader i c s f or other where key and she also acknowledged sorry his future his contribution to peace and reconciliation. In east africa our diplomatic editor james has been listening in with me to the speech as we continue to watch the ceremony and the performance by ethiopian artist betty g. James what did you make of the speech by the norwegian. Nobel Committee Chairman barrys barratry sanderson she highlighted his achievements but also said that the work is at a standstill very interesting some of the points he made in his speech absolutely she was clearly making a justification for why the Nobel Committee decided to make this choice even quoting the will of alfred nobel who was the swedish chemist and businessman right she made his money out of dynamite but left this in his will for this prize the peace prize out of norway and the other nobel prizes out of sweden clearly theres been quite a bit of criticism some criticism in the last few days by the fact that hes not engaged with the media and wont be gauging with the media very much while in oslo questionings some would say the choice whether this is the right man for this prize but also criticism from some that 20 months in power although he has certainly changed things particularly with regard to eritrea but certainly also at home whether it was a little early but this is sometimes how the Nobel Committee work they like to get in early to try and encourage things but i think there was also a marker put down there saying while we we support all your achievements were not supporting you forever as a Political Force in ethiopia because the Nobel Committee as everyone else knows the countrys history knows that it has a strong man running it in the past for many years and knows the history of the region you just have to look not not very far away from ethiopia to another. Powerful concrete nearby uganda you see president of a news been in power for more than 30 years interesting indeed that she said were not supporting you forever as political leader of ethiopia loesser talk to William Davidson now as we continue to watch the performance of betty g. At the nobel Award Ceremony there in oslo hes an ethiopian analyst at the International Crisis group from addison advice thank you very much William Davidson for being with us our Prime Minister is dealing with a lot of challenges right now internally in ethiopia does she in your view deserve this Nobel Peace Prize especially so early in his premiership. Well i mean i dont think its for me to assess that i think weve heard i think weve heard pretty clear justifications for the decision to give the Nobel Peace Prize that was the decision of the committee you know what i would say about that is what comes through loud and clear is that we both had very impressive bold leadership from the but thats mainly been dismantling the old order in ethiopia and overcoming some of the repression there and then making reaching out to president desirous of restoring diplomatic relations that what everyone recognizes is that this is Unfinished Business and the really are considerable challenges both domestically and also some of those domestic challenges also play into the fact that this Peace Process with eritrea is also stalled so it really is a matter of Unfinished Business but impressive achievement so far to be recognized is she the no we know bill Committee Chairman acknowledged the positive response of the. Speech but as yes after reiki is not being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. What do you make of that. You know my just this all right at me israel has a descent im going to apologise for interrupting you the ethiopian Prime Minister is about to give a speech with an innocent fellow its europeans fellow africans citizens of the warlords led this and gentleman i am honored to be here with you today and grateful for the wager in Nobel Committee for cognizing and encouraging my contribution to a peaceful resolution of the border dispute with you and its your beer and their its rear i accept this award on behalf of video appearance and its reasons especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of peace likewise i accept this award on behalf of my partner and committed in peace president. Whose goodwill trusts the in good will trust and commitment were vital in ending the 2 dick it did look between our countries i also accept this award on behalf of africans and citizens of the ward for whom the dream of this turn it into a nightmare of war to day i stand here in front of you talking about this because of fit. I call it my way to piss through the dusty train so 4 years ago i was a young soldier when war broke out between the 2 appear and there is 3 year i witnessed firsthand the ugliness of war in front line buttons there are those who are the never seen war but glorify every month says that they have not seen the fear they have not seen the photic they have not seen the destruction of heartbreak nor have they felt the mournful in britain so for after the carnage war is a potential fail for all involved i know because i have been there and back of sin brothers slaughtering brothers on the battlefield and i have seen all of them in woman and children trembling in terror and as a deadly shot of bullets and artillery shells you see i was not only a combatant in war i was also a witness to its quality and of what can do to people why our mix for a bit them and how to less and savage me 20 years ago i was a radio predator title an Ethiopian Army unit in the border town of bottom that town was the flush pour into the war between the 2 countries i briefly left the fox while in the hopes of getting a good and dinner is sufficient it took only but the few minutes yet up on my return i was horrified to discover my entire unit had been wiped out and. I still remember my uncommitted in arms who died on that ill fated day i think of their families too. During the war we do need to abandon it dear its demented 100000 soldiers and civilians lost their lives the aftermath of the war also left untold numbers of farming is broken it also put money into the shuttered communities on both sides massive destruction of infrastructure for that amplified the postwar economic berger socially the war isnt that in mass displacements loss of livelihoods deported asian and the nationalization of citizens following the end of the ultimate conflict in june 2000 its job here and there is real remain deadlocked instead of more nor peace for 2 decades during this period famine is where the split our borders unable to see or talk to each other for years to come tens of thousands of probes remainder stationed along one side of the border they remained on edge as did the rest of the country and region all around where war had that any small Border Closure would flare into a full blown war once again as it was the world are in a stella med followed where trade for Regional Peace was fears that a resumption of active combat between its your beer and their its rear would destabilize the entire region. And so on when i became Prime Minister about 18 months ago i felt in my head that that ending the uncertainty was necessary i believed peace between the g. O. P. Here and there it was within reach i was convinced that the imaginary war. 2 countries for the might to wrong needed to be torn down and its place a bridge of friendship collaboration and goodwill has to be built to last for a tz thats how i approached the task of building peace a peace bridge with my partner president is that we were boers ready to allow piers the floor ish and chair and settle with dissolve a doubt turn. Out to turn our swords into plowshares and our spirits into pruning hooks for the progress and prosperity of our people we understood our nations are not in a mess and instead we were victims of the common enemy called poverty with. That the why allow 2 nations were stuck on all the grievances the water was shifting rapidly in liver leaving us behind we agreed we must work corporate evil for the prosperity of our people and our region. Excellences ladies and gentleman today we are ripping out peace dividend families support it that for over 2 decades now united diplomatic relations are fully restored air and Telecommunications Services have been reestablished and our focus has now shifted to a developing joint Infrastructure Project as that will be a critical level in our economic ambition our commitment to peace between our 2 countries is ironclad 1 may wonder how it is that the conflict extending over 20 years can come on and it covers all motion allow me to share with you a little about the lives that guide my actions for peace i believe that peace is an affair of the hurt is a labor of love sustaining peace is a hard work yes we must finish and nurture it it takes you to make war but it takes a village and a nation to build peace for me nurturing peace is like planting and growing trees just like trees need water and good soil to grow peace requires an unwavering commitment in finite patience and goodwill to cultivate in the heart of us its dividends. Peace requires good affairs to blossom into prosperity or security and opportunity in the same manner trees of a sort of Carbon Dioxide to give us a live in all city of paris has a cup as a cup a city. The suspicion and doubt that make loud our relationship and return a gift a buck hope for the future confidence in our service and fear is in humanity the humanity does speak of is within all of us we can cultivate it and share it with us as if we chose to remove our masks of prides and out of bounds when our love for humanity grows out of appreciation of human vanity zones or loads will know peace ultimately basic wireds an enduring vision and in my vision of peace is rooted in the flows of filth. Macdermott and im hardik word signifies synergy convert adjourns and teamwork for a common destiny mcdermott is a homegrown idea that is reflected in our political social and economic life. I like to think of madonna as a social compact for utopians to built a just egalitarian democratic and Human Society by putting together as sources for our collective survival and prosperity or in practice mcdermott is about using the best of our past to build a new society and a new civic culture that drives on tolerance understanding and civility at its core mcdermott is a covenant of peace that seeks unity in our common humanity it but a serious piece by practicing the values of love forgiveness and consolation and inclusion excellence is lit is an gentleman i come from a small town called russia located in the region of western ethiopia it is in bushes that the seeds of madama begin to sprout growing up my parents instilled in me in my sibling is an abiding faith is in humanity and the dumbest results with the proverb i am my brothers keeper i am my sisters keeper in my little town we have no Running Water or electricity or drugs but we heard a lot of love to light up our lives we were each others keepers. The if been there is humility and dignity patience gratitude tenacity and a corporation of course a like a mighty stream and we travel together on 3 country roads called love forgiveness and reconciliation in the modern what idea is it is not us and this is only us for we are all bonded by a shared destiny of love forgiveness and reconciliation for the people in the land of origins in the south in months of sunshine macdermott has always been 2nd nature.

As a Global Community we must invest in peace over the past few months us it has made historic investments in peace with the that it turns we will see in the years to come we have little is all Political Prisoners we have shut down detention facilities with torture and the vile human rights abuses took place today it job is high living for the press freedom it is no more a general store knowledge has opposition leaders of all political stripes are free to engage in peaceful political activity we are creating an ethiopian that is 2nd to none and its got and freedoms of expression we have led. To. The belief of the belief. We have led the ground war for a genuine multiparty democracy and will soon hold differing in a fair election. I truly believe peace is a way of life war a form of does and destruction peacemakers must teach Peace Records to chose the way of life.

A standing ovation thank you yes Prime Minister at the met this is Nobel Peace Prize laureate after hes delivered his personal message of peace the area received the nobel diploma and the Nobel Peace Prize medal from norwegian Nobel Committees chairman says Derek Anderson a ceremony in oslo being held at astro city hall attended by the regent royal family. And lot of dignitaries as well a big infill pm community present also at Oslo City Hall as ethiopias Prime Minister delivered his speech he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize award on behalf of the ethiopians and every tree and also accepting it on behalf of isaiah safa away the every tree in leader and on behalf of africa he said he talked about his commitment to peace of course and he promoted democratic reforms at home this is what is being. Celebrated for today he talked about his determination to achieve peace and stability in africa and his determination also to promote further Economic Development on the continent lets speak once again to William Davison whos a Senior Analyst at the International Crisis group hes in Addis Ababa Ethiopia capital william you heard Prime Minister abby ahmeds message of peace there what did you make of it how will it be received back home. I think will be received back home by his supporters was those visit poland will probably cost it is more of the same type of messaging that hes delivered since hes been office but i mean generally an objective really its obviously a very inspiring and encouraging message. Uplifting aspirational message and i think maybe the important thing is that this these principles of inclusive witty and reaching out to your neighbor and your enemy is that they are applied to the very hard very real political problems and the visions that ethiopia faces. He of course being recognised mainly for reaching Peace Agreement with every tree a ethiopias neighbor and also a long time enemy and this happened just 3 months after he assumed office last year what exactly has. Between ethiopia and eritrea achieved. Well what its led to is essentially what you heard in the speech which is the restarting of diplomatic relations the reopening of telecommunications lines and and some transport and you heard those plans for joint infrastructure there. Unfortunately weve seen some regression since that progress in terms of the closure of some of the main road crossings by the eritrean government and thats due to some of the well we think thats primarily due to some of the lingering tensions between northern most province temporary which has a long long border with eritrea and the government in asmara and that really speaks to the fact that while there has been a warming of relations between the 2 governments between the 2 leaders there are still some serious political hostilities between the eritrean government and aspects of the ethiopian political scene key regional ethiopias federation and until those issues are resolved then it might be difficult to move towards a full normalization of relations and has life changed for every tree and since this peace deal any tree every tree has borders are still closed the border between the 2 countries has not been demarcated and i understand that the exodus of every tree in their country still continues so what has changed for eritrean history. Here well as as you imply not not very much unfortunately and there we might be looking at some of the reasons why the why this wasnt given as a joint towards the 2 leaders eritrean activists there a train opposition figures those who left the country obviously they can cast president and his regime is highly operate tarion they see the peace prize as having emboldened desires when they would have preferred to see the International Community and the ethiopian leader take united stand against that hasnt happened but one does need to happen now is that we need to see this domestic healing and domestic progress in ethiopia then that could lead to a full normalization of relations with eritrea hopefully that might in turn incentivize the regime in asmara to open up and to make those improvements territorial lives that you speak of. Thank you very much for speaking to us William Davison from the International Crisis group speaking to us there from ethiopias capital addis ababa as the Award Ceremony continues in oslo ethiopias Prime Minister receiving the Nobel Peace Prize medal just a few minutes ago giving an impassioned speech about peace in ethiopia peace between ethiopia and eritrea and peace on the african continent as a whole head is ethiopias 1st Prime Minister hailing from the euro more group ethiopias Largest Ethnic Group and we are watching these live pictures ceremony ending in oslo will have much more here on aljazeera in just a few minutes after this very short break to stay with this.
