Colombia President Juan Manuel Santos and FARC leader Rodrigo Londoño are the most likely to receive the next Nobel Peace Prize after successfully negotiating an end to half a century of armed conflict, news agency Reuters reported Thursday.
The recent peace “agreement … is one of the most obvious (Nobel) peace prize candidates I’ve ever seen,” Asle Sveen, a historian who tracks the awards, told news agency Reuters Thursday.
The agreement ended a half-century of war between FARC and government forces, and despite the existence of other rebel groups and paramilitaries it is being touted as the end of the last war in the western hemisphere.
Many thousands of people, all over the world, are involved in the nomination process.
