Exam 4
Four Tunisian civil society groups have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
for their contribution to the country’s transition from dictatorship to democracy.
The Nobel panel described its award to the National Dialogue Quartet on
Friday as an “encouragement to the Tunisian people” that showed the value
of dialogue in a region riven by conflict.§1
Responsible for drafting a political "road map" that is seen as having saved
the country from crisis in October 2013, the broad-based quartet cleared the
way for the country to establish its first democratic constitution and hold
elections late last year.§2
Houcine Abassi, the head of a labour union within the quartet, said he was
“overwhelmed” and described the prize as a “tribute to martyrs of a
democratic Tunisia", a reference to the more than 300 people who were killed
during the four-week long uprising that unseated longtime dictator Zine El
Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011.§3
Worth 8 million Swedish crowns (£638,000, $972,000), the prize will be
presented in Oslo in December.§4

Tunisia has provided according to some accounts more “foreign fighters” to
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant any other country.
However, the Nobel Committee clearly along with most western
