The UN cultural agency, UNESCO, has granted a peace prize to the French president for his “valuable contribution to peace and stability in Africa,” amid the ongoing French-led war in the African country of Mali.
The former President of Mozambique Joaquim Chissano, who chaired the Jury of the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Peace Prize, said on Thursday, “After analyzing the global situation, it is Africa that held the attention of the Jury with the various threats affecting the continent.”
He added that the Jury decided to give the award to Francois Hollande “for his great contribution to peace and stability in Africa.” .... http://www.presstv.ir
