USPA NEWS - President Obama congratulates "Tunisia National Dialogue", including a quartet grouping union bosses and the Tunisian League for Human Rights, winning the Nobel Peace Prize last Friday for its contribution to the democratic transition in Tunisia. Obama won the Nobel prize in 2009, as well.

OBAMA WAS AWARDED THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IN 2009 AND CONGRATULATES THE WINNERS OF THIS YEAR : TUNISIAN QUARTET The Nobel Peace Prize that has just been handed over to the Tunisian Quartet, dedicated the success of the democratic transition in Tunisia. It is also an encouragement for further support to Tunisia in the trials through which it passes, because it has not finished, yet. We saw this with the terrorist acts of recent weeks and recent months.----------------------------------------- “On behalf of the American people, I congratulate Tunisia's National Dialogue Quartet on winning the Nobel Peace Prize.  This brave coalition of workers, industry, lawyers and human rights advocates is an inspiring reminder that lasting peace and security can only be achieved when citizens are empowered to forge their own future and that democracy is both possible and necessary in the North Africa and the Middle East. President Obama said. “ See also article : TERRORIST ATTACK KILLING 22 PEOPLE IN TUNIS AT THE MUSEUM BARDO HEAVY TOLL WITH 20 TOURISTS KILLED - See more at: http://www.uspa24.com/bericht-3591/terrorist-attack-killing-22-people-in-tunis-at-the-museum-bardo.html

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT OBAMA “In the five years since a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire to protest an oppressive dictatorship, the Tunisian people have made remarkable strides in building an inclusive democracy, and the Quartet has played an indispensable role.  When the promise of the Jasmine Revolution was in doubt, the Quartet helped to bring Tunisians together in a peaceful dialogue.  With the Quartet's support, Tunisians voted in free elections, forged a new constitution that upholds human rights and equality for all people, including women and minorities, and formed a national unity government, including secular and Islamist parties, showing that democracy and Islam can indeed thrive together.“ Continues President Obama.

“Today's award is therefore also a tribute to the perseverance and courage of the Tunisian people who, in the face of political assassinations and terrorist attacks, have come together in a spirit of unity, compromise and tolerance.  I welcomed President Caid Essebsi, Tunisia's first democratically elected president, to the White House this year to reaffirm America's support for Tunisia's democracy, and I have been proud to meet with Tunisian students--young men and women who are working to create more opportunity and prosperity in their country.  In a region gripped by so much tumult and violence, Tunisia points the way to a better future - one in which stability is pursued through peaceful dialogue, not violence and division.  Just as the world must support the Tunisian people, we must stand with civil society groups around the world who advocate, often at great risk to themselves, for the human rights and inherent dignity of every human being.  In this never-ending work for justice and peace, these fearless men and women have a steadfast partner in the United States of America." Concluded President Obama.
