The Nobel prize for literature has been awarded to the Tanzanian-born novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah. His work focuses on colonialism and the fate of refugees.
It is the first time in 35 years that a Black African has won the prize, and comes as the Swedish Academy tries to avoid charges of Western bias.
Al Jazeera’s Paul Rhys reports from Stockholm, Sweden.

Thanks
Believe me he’s the best when it comes to Cryptocurrency trading, your profit is assured.
Are you posting this financially predatory message on Eurocentric and American channels, or are Brown people the last chance for you to expand the investor base so you can get a return on your investment?
So he has not written anything that sold on its own?
Since when has sales had anything to do with the literature prize. Of course refugee plight is a global concern and the prized are very political
@Raj S My question was if anyone enjoys reading his books and that is an obvious way to quantify that
Had this civilization ever learned to respect the fullness of life, it would never have been as it is. As it stands, it will not continue to be. o/ What a relief! Let’s do better with the time we have left.
May Allah bless you with more success ameen ❤
For this year at least*😕😂🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations to him

Success often comes to those who dare to act, never to the timid!
What is going on?? remember Ethiopian Abyi Ahmed Nobel prize for Peace and The War that soon follows
You are confused. How can he be the first “black African”… but then you talk about him leaving Africa because he was an arab facing persecution?! He is clearly not a black African, but a mixed breed arab. Also, African means you’re black. You don’t need to say black Africans, any more than you need to say a white European. Europeans are white, Africans are black. You should only bring race into African topics if the person is NOT black i.e African of arab or european heritage.
🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Masha-Allah…respect from Pakistan..
I hope to win the Nobel Prize in literature one day. But not at 72. Because I may not live to that age with all the stress I am facing. I am 41 now. African living on the Motherland…
Masha Allah congratulations
ماشاءالله
Woke hypocrite! 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations brother
Bangladesh’s Kutupalong, the largest refugee camp in the world now! Congratulations and love for you from Bangladesh! 🇧🇩
Noble prize committee involved in Nepotism according to them only European languages and English or French writers are great.
What about Indian Asian and African writers
Atleast one dozen Indian writers loose Noble prize for literature because negligence of Noble prize committee
Stop giving Nobel prize for literature only for European languages atleast TEN years
Concentrate on Asian writers
Racist are you?
Tanzania does not recognise dual citizenship. He left Zanzibar, before it became part of Tanzania. To label him Tanzanian is a little misleading. It should be UK national (or citizen) of Zanzibar origin.
If himself regards himself as a Tanzanian , who are we to question ?
✌👍🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
@Catch All 👍
Hata akitambuliwa kama mtanzania haina tatizo.sisi ni watanzania na wote tumefurahi na tutazidi kumjua,isitoshe hata kabla bila muungano wabara na wanzanzibar ni ndugu na hiyo haikwepeki tutakuwa wamoja tu kwa jinsi tulivyoingiliana,kitu kizuri kikitokea zanzibar tutakifurahikia na hivyo hivyo kikitokea bara zanzibar watakifurahia
Congratulations ….My goal is to win the Nobel Prize for Literature within the next six years to become the second Nigerian after Wole Soyinka to win the prize
It seems that Chimamanda is trying hard. Her books are ok, not that great but she’s going the popular route of making speeches and being on tv a lot. I guess it’s her long term strategy for a future win, when all she has to is write about controversial political topics or just be a better writer. How does Africa have only 2 for literature and one for peace, in the West Indies we have 2 for lit and 1 for economics, our islands are not bad enough to have any for peace.
Better Abdulrazak Gurbak than the dreadful derivative Peggy Atwood.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
