Some praise the Nobel Peace Prizes given in 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi for her heroic struggle against the brutal military dictatorship in [[Myanmar]] (Burma) and the award in 1996 to Jose Ramos Horta and Bishop Belo of [[East Timor]] in recognition of their struggle against the oppressive and, at times, genocidal occupation of that country by the [[Indonesia]]n government. The awarding of the prize in 1984 to Archbishop Emeritus [[Desmond Tutu]]<ref>[http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1984/ 1984 Nobel Peace Laureates]</ref>, was condemned by the [[apartheid]] regime as a political ploy, but celebrated everywhere else, as was the joint award to Presidents [[Nelson Mandela]] and [[F.W. de Klerk]] in 1993 <ref>[http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1993/ ]1993 Nobel Peace Laureates]</ref>, for their efforts in uniting [[South Africa]] in the build-up to the first fully democratic elections. <ref>Incidentally, the awards to Tutu and Mandela have resulted in Vilakazi Street in Soweto, Johannesburg, becoming the only street in the world to be home to two different laureates.</ref>
