UPDATED: Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad
Source: New York Times
The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded on Friday to two campaigners against wartime sexual violence: Dr. Denis Mukwege, a Congolese gynecological surgeon, and Nadia Murad, who became the dignified face of the women forced into sexual slavery by the Islamic State group.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said the two were given the award "for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict."
Dr. Mukwege, who risked his life in a campaign to end the use of mass rape as a weapon of war, works in one of the most traumatized places in the world: the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
In a bare hospital in the hills above Bukavu, where for years there was little electricity or enough anesthetic, Dr. Mukwege has performed surgery on countless women who have trudged into his hospital a few steps away from death. At the same time, he has campaigned relentlessly to shine a spotlight on the plight of Congolese women, even after nearly being assassinated a few years ago.

Looks like someone we don't want to know didn't get it (and ironic why it was given, considering what is literally going on right now in the U.S.).

Things being what they are, I better add this prophylactic: 
neither of the winners are white males
How can you have any award taken seriously that isn't won by a white guy?
Things being what they are Part II:
It wasn’t that long ago that people — and I use that term loosely — were saying that his fantastic success in getting North Korea to de-nuke was going to win him the Peace Prize hands-down.
The ensuing Twitter meltdown will occur within 30 minutes of the announcement on Faux Noise.
