Why did he win the Nobel peace prize?

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said Mr Abiy was honored for his "decisive initiative for the solution of The Border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea".

The Two Countries fought a bitter Border War from 1998-2000 that killed tens of thousands of people. Although a ceasefire was signed in the year 2000, the neighbors have remained technically At War Until July 2018, when Mr Abiy and the Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki signed a peace Treaty. So after two decades, The Border was closed, divides a family, and trade is impossible.

Since The Peace agreement with Eritrea, Mr Abiy processes, the said of The Peace in other African countries, The Committee .

Not really - the US-American influence in the negotiations was minimal. The United Arab Emirates, that will help a lot of influence in The Horn of Africa, was the key to the reunification of the two parties, says the BBC's former Ethiopia correspondent Emmanuel Igunza.

Saudi Arabia has also played a Central role in the end of the dispute.

The Peace Treaty helped to be imposed on Eritrea were, from the cold, according to the sanctions in 2009.

The UN security Council lifted the sanctions in November 2018, four months after The Peace Treaty was signed.

Why has trump now that the comments?

This is clear, since for the Nobel peace prize was on 11 October last year, and Mr. Abiy its gave acceptance speech in Oslo, Norway, on 10. December.

Interestingly, Mr. Trump has not officially congratulated Mr Abiy, but his daughter, Ivanka Trump , who as a senior Advisor, and the US Secretary of state Mike Pompeo is done.

But, as Mr Trump has publicly stated that he deserves the Nobel peace prize for his efforts to convince North Korea 's leader Kim Jong-un, nuclear weapons give up.
