First Nobel Peace Prize for Finland


The announcement was just made that the former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari has won the first Nobel Peace Prize for the country. This brings recognition to the way Finland has steadily worked to bring greater peace to the world. Ahtisaari has acted as a peace negotiator in several conflicts around the world for the past three decades, and just last week he was also awarded the UNESCO Peace Prize. It's a good day for this deserving country.

Peace and love!
