I'm not sure how to respond on this one... it's a tough situation to be in but it amazes me how you still find some good in all the bad, you really are quite remarkable! Imagine if the planet was filled with people, just like you!
However, quoting you "I'm not fond of watching the news on either side because I know how manipulated it can get"... you can't believe anything in the news, never mind how it "can" get ... I think it is always manipulated. Sadly there is always another agenda. I wish there wasn't...
I'll be thinking of you... I hope somehow, things can get better for your country.
