Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to make peace with the FARC rebels.
"The Hairy | Adult Movies OnlineNorwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2016 to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his resolute efforts to bring the country's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end, a war that has cost the lives of at least 220 000 Colombians and displaced close to six million people," the Committee said.

This tribute is paid, not least, to the representatives of the countless victims of the civil war."

The decision surprised many as the Colombian people narrowly rejected the peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia in a national referendum Sunday. Many voters believed it was too lenient on the FARC guerrillas.
Many people hoped the award would go to the volunteer first responders in Syria, known as White Helmets. Last month the group was honoured among the winners of the Right Livelihood Award, a human rights prize sometimes referred to as the "alternative Nobel."
