Oslo (AFP) - Tunisia's "National Dialogue Quartet" on Friday won the Nobel Peace Prize for building democracy after the 2011 revolution which unleashed the Arab Spring.

The award was given "for its decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution of 2011".
