2019 : Abiy Ahmed (born 1976) Ethiopia "for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and in particular for his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea.

Since 2019, Ethiopia has undergone democratic backsliding under Abiy's premiership,[14][15] marked by severe human rights violations, media censorship, internet shutdown, civil conflicts, systematic persecution and ethnic violence in the Tigray, Amhara and Oromia regions of Ethiopia.[16][17][18] Politically motivated purges also became common and many journalists and activists were arrested, by police for alleged breach of "constitutional laws".[19][20] As of June 2022, 18 journalists were arrested on allegation of "inciting violence" while reporting for independent media outlets or YouTube channels.[21] Abiy is also believed to lead and organize Koree Nageenyaa, a secret service that purportedly commits unlawful detentions and extrajudicial killings in the Oromia Region with the aim of suppressing uprisings.[22][23][24]
