Daily Mail: Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to Tunisia's National Dialogue Quartet for its role in building democracy after the Jasmine Revolution in 2011

* Panel said group established a 'peaceful political process when country was on the brink of civil war'
* Quartet member Houcine Abassi said he was 'overwhelmed' by the award
* Nobel panel hopes £630k award will encourage other nations to follow suit
* Favourites had included Angela Merkel for her open-door migrant policies

* The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Tunisia's National Dialogue Quartet for its role in building democracy after the 2011 revolution which sparked the Arab Spring.
* The Nobel panel praised the group's 'decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia' in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution of 2011.
* 'It established an alternative, peaceful political process at a time when the country was on the brink of civil war,' the committee said in its citation.
* The prize is a huge victory for small Tunisia, whose young and still shaky democracy suffered two extremist attacks this year that killed 60 people and devastated the tourism industry.
