Der Friedensnobelpreis 2011 wird dreigeteilt für drei Frauen aus Afrika. «Dies öffnet die Tür für Frauen auf dem gesamten Kontinent».
Die Auszeichnung erhalten die liberianische Präsidentin Ellen Johnson-Sireleaf, ihre Landsfrau Leymah Roberta Gbowee und Tawakkul Karman aus Jemen für ihren Einsatz für Demokratie und Frauenrechte.





"Sirleaf has forged close relations with the United States, Liberia's traditional ally. Following the establishment of AFRICOM by the United States military, Sirleaf offered to allow the US to headquarter the new command in Liberia, the only African leader to do so.[36] The command was eventually headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. On 15 March 2006, President Sirleaf addressed a joint meeting of the United States Congress, asking for American support to help her country “become a brilliant beacon, an example to Africa and the world of what love of liberty can achieve.” (Wikipedia)
