After over six months of violent protests and the destruction of over a billion dollars’ worth of businesses and property, the Black Lives Matter group has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

The nomination was announced by Petter Eide, a Socialist Left Party member who is seated in the Norwegian Parliament.

“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality,” Eide told reporters after announcing the nomination.

“Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice. They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice,” Eide continued. “t has been a broad movement, in a way which has been different from their predecessors.”
