UNESCO seems to have come to its sense with this move, but they shouldn't have had a prize named after this dictator in the first place. Equatorial Guinea's leader Obiang has had a lot of human rights abuses happen under his reign, as quite a few non-fiction books on Africa have mentioned him in detail. Would they let Saddam Hussein or Robert Mugabe fund prizes?

The Democratic Republic of Congo has seen a lot of tragedy since what seems like ... forever, and the bad news doesn't seem to cease. Mass rapes has been in the Western limelight recently, but it remains to be seen what action will be taken. It's been deemed as a weapon of war, which seems to be quite obvious, and the sad thing is these aren't new.
