      <description><![CDATA[Ms drew gur, Ireland, Ireland, Ireland<p>because<br />
&quot;Journalism is the first rough draft of history&quot;</p>

<p>and because</p>

<p>&quot;We live under a government of men and morning newspapers&quot;</p>

<p>so that&#039;s why they&#039;re afraid of writers, journalist....</p>

<p>This young man, Henok Alemayehu Degefu must survive because he&#039;s been  serving to community and his country.<br />
it&#039;d be an honor for any government to give him a place to live in peace - and continue to write what he only wants.</p>

<p>What Ankara should do as a real democratic government and country is to help him.</p>]]></description>
