Norwegian Committee for the Nobel Peace Prize has decided to award the Tunisian national quartet for his decisive contribution to the construction of a pluralistic society in Tunisia after the Jasmine Revolution in 2011.

"After the Arab Spring in Tunisia in 2010 and 2011, Tunisian quartet played an important role in strengthening peace and dialogue among citizens and has made a major contribution to building democracy in Tunisia," said a statement from Oslo.

Individuals and organizations from around the world this year for the Nobel Peace Prize nominated 273 candidates. The public is not aware of all the candidacies fueling speculation and betting on the eve of the award on October 9 in Oslo.

Favorites were Angela Pope Francis

Individuals and organizations from around the world this year for the Nobel Peace Prize nominated 273 candidates. The public is not aware of all the candidacies fueling speculation and betting on the eve of the award.

Kristian Berg Harpviken, director of the Institute for Peace Studies in Oslo, which each year draws up a short list of potential winners but is not associated with the committee that awarded the prize, said that this year awards may be associated with the refugee crisis. His favorite was Angela Merkel.

"It is a combination of its moral leadership and making hard choices that deserves the award," said Harpviken.

However, almost two thirds of Germans in this week's poll said they were against the fact that their Chancellor gets a prize. Sixty-one percent of Germans said that she was not 'the offering candidates' which should be awarded in Oslo, while 34 percent disagreed with this.

Harpvikenov second favorite was the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, a rare case of independent journalism in Russia.

Three Norwegian historians and analysts who regulate the Internet site dedicated to the Nobel Peace Prize said that UNHCR is a strong candidate, who has twice won the Nobel Prize, in 1954 and in 1981.

Analysts believe that the award of the Nobel Committee could opt for an international treaty like the one between Iran and six world powers on solving the problem of Iran's nuclear program. Another peace agreement referred to is between the Colombian government and the FARC revolutionaries.

To bad that Pope and Merkel did not get it.
Perhaps the sanity is coming back in this world, after some millenia.
