Colombia President Juan Manuel Santos awarded Nobel Peace Prize for bid to end half-century conflict - The Washington Post
'Whether the Nobel prize will give Santos new leverage to rework the peace deal remains to be seen. '
'Five days after the worst defeat of his political career, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for his dogged, but unfulfilled, effort to end a half-century of civil war. '
'His opponents were able to defeat his peace deal Sunday in part by making the vote a referendum on his presidency. '
'Norway had a special stake in this year’s peace prize. '
'The award was a surprise because Colombians voted Sunday against Santos’s peace accord, which many viewed as too generous to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). '
