When will Ahmed 'The Clockmaker' receive the Nobel Peace Prize and is he on par with Malala Yousafzai?

Malala Yousafsai was the Pakistani schoolgirl who stood up to the Taliban by advocating all girls receive an education and was shot through the head for her troubles. Ahmed reassembled a digital clock and placed it into a metal briefcase which he then took to school and for which he was detained and investigated. Lawyers are now claiming Ahmed was "severely traumatized" by the experience and earned an audience with President Obama for his troubles. Is the attention justified?

“The last few weeks have been truly life-changing for my son Ahmed and for our family,” Mohamed Elhassan Mohamad said in a prepared statement announcing the trip.
After Ahmed met the prime minister of Turkey at the United Nations last week, a foundation offered the boy a tour of “Education City”—a 5-square-mile cluster of universities and think tanks in the Qatari capital, Doha.
The family say they were invited by the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, which was founded by a former ruler of the country.
It’s not clear exactly how long Ahmed will stay abroad. His father said last week he wanted to take the boy to Mecca, a holy site in Saudi Arabia.
Family in Texas expect them to return here around mid-October.
Once they are back, Ahmed’s family says he plans to finally retrieve the clock that made him famous, which has been waiting for him at an Irving police station since police cleared the boy of a hoax bomb charge.
And once the boy has his clock, he plans to take President Barack Obama up on his invitation to bring it to Washington.
“His main goal is to take it to the president,” said Ahmed’s uncle, Aldean Mohamed.

Hopefully never CPO Andy Carrillo, MS.
No he is not on par with Malala Yousafsai.
Hopefully the Noel Peace Prize be once again awarded to people who are actually advancing world peace such as Sadat and Begin did during the Camp David Accords under President Carter's administration.

It was planned, the questions are by whom and why?
