Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai said Friday in Kenya that she has pulled out of the torch relay’s Tanzania leg.
“From the very beginning I thought the torch will be a symbol of unity, peace and harmony, but as it moved around the world it has become a symbol of disunity. Then I decided to pull out completely,” said Maathai, who is an environmentalist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004.
