Tanzania’s Abdulrazak Gurnah wins 2021 Nobel Prize in literature

The Nobel Prize for literature has just been awarded to a Tanzanian-born novelist, Abdulrazak Gurnah's.
Gurnah's work focuses on colonialism and the fate of refugees.
It is the first time a non-European or non-American has won the prize in more than 10 years.
He arrived in the United Kingdom as a refugee aged 18 in the 1960s and has now retired from teaching English at the University of Kent.

Al Jazeera’s Paul Rhys joins us live from Stockholm in Sweden for the latest updates.

It is a rare recognition made to an African writing ; which is much more complex for European / western reeders to understand ; get the width & breadth of it . As Africans are still enjoying high morale value & integrity which is irrecoverably lost in Europe & the west .

No wisdom but in submission to the Gods.
Big words are always punished,
And proud men in old age learn to be wise.”
