Today at 11 o'clock (swedish time, 10 in England?) the Nobel Peace Prize 2019 is presented. It will be the hundredth time someone gets it.
Top Candidates are:
Abiy Ahmed, 43 years old, Prime Minister of Ethiopia. He has since April 2018 started a process to sign a piece agreement with Eritrea, release political prisoners, introduce free elections.
Greta Thunberg, 16 years young, climate activist. It has been speculations as well if the organization Fridays For Future, grounded by Greta Thunberg, could get it.
Raoni Metuktire, 89 years old, brazilian native chief who has dedicated his life to saving the rainforest.
The organization Reporters Without Borders. An important source to information from areas at war.
WFP, within the UN, who battles starvation in Jemen and elsewhere.
Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand. She took actions after the terror attack in Christchurch.

A bit risky, since the process just has started there they'd admit, but hopefully it'll work out just fine.
