The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet was awarded the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize for its “decisive contribution to the building of a pluralistic democracy in Tunisia in the wake of the Jasmine Revolution of 2011,” the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.

The quartet was established in 2013 following the Arab Spring which resulted in political assassinations in Tunisia that left the nation on the brink of civil war. The group is made up of four organizations representing different facets of Tunisia, according to the Nobel Committee.

The quartet consists of the Tunisian General Labour Union, the Tunisian Confederation of Industry, Trade and Handicrafts, the Tunisian Human Rights League and the Tunisian Order of Lawyers.

Never knew anything about how things went there post revolution. It's nice to hear some positives from the Arab spring aftermath.

Very good choice by the committee.

If you want to get some impressions of post revolution Tunisia, I liked this documentary from last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI53Ux0ed1c

Good choice from the looks of it.
