The Norwegian Nobel Committee has joined international voices calling on Ethiopia's prime minister to end the country's 14-month-long civil war. They said Abiy Ahmed who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019 has a special responsibility to see an end to the bloodshed. Mr Abiy’s spokesperson Billene Seyoum had previously said that the Nobel Peace Prize was not a shackle for inaction when the country is threatened. The calls from the Committee are expected to increase the pressure to find a peaceful resolution for the war.
