The human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has congratulated American people on the historical event the United State witnessed today. 

In a post published on her Facebook account today, Karman saluted Americans for what she described as “democracy’s victory”, avoiding congratulating the Republican winner Donald Trump by name. 

“I mainly salute American democracy’s victory but not the candidate himself as democracy is the supreme value, and Donald Trump has gained his legitimacy within this democratic practice, which can always be back on track”, she wrote in social media. 

“Therein lies the strength of democracy as the only option whereby  people exercise their options, which are again asserted in the event that the elected president succeeds, or they (people) decide to change him in case of his failure to fulfill the promise”, Mrs. Karman concluded.
