Greta Thunberg Does NOT Win The Nobel Peace Prize
Better luck next year, ya hectoring little witch...
[The Sun (UK), where America Gets Its Real News] - GRETA Thunberg has been snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize which has instead been awarded to Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed for ending the 20-year Eritrea conflict.

Bookies had suggested the teen climate campaigner was the front runner for the illustrious honour, after she launched a furious tirade at the United Nations.

But the Nobel Institute gave the award to the Ethiopian leader for ending one of Africa's longest running conflicts.

Within months of coming to office in 2018 ,the 43-year-old signed a "Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship" with Eritrean Prime Minister Isaias Afwerki.

He was also praised for his domestic reforms, including releasing tens of thousands of political prisoners and allowed previously banned opposition groups.

The prize is £730,000 and will be formally awarded in Oslo in December.
