   Meanwhile in Argentina  people  were standing in long lines yesterday for they can see  and hear  Tawakkol Karman ,  the Nobel prize winning  human right activist .
  The event took place in Rosário , a major port city in Argentina, 300 km up the Paraná River from  the  capital, Buenos Aires.

 The Mayor Monica Fein welcomed the distinguished visitor and expressed her  appreciation for the struggle of the young activist.  She  said in return : "I am very happy to be in Argentina and especially in Rosario, the city where Che Guevara was born, a hero for us."

Tawakkol Karman  is the first Yemeni, the first Arab woman, and the second Muslim woman to win a Nobel Prize and the second youngest Nobel Peace Laureate to date.
 She is a great inspiration for many people around the world. 

 Last month she visited Doha .

  Been there - saw the  Nobel Peace Laureate  activist speaking with great enthusiasm  about her country . Love of freedom  , the man made tragedy .After the speech  came the interview . I loved how the AJ English reporter  asked embarrassing questions as well . Criticizing  a Nobel Peace Laureate  ! That is the real journalism .  Most of the speech was in Arabic . Most of the people needed the  headphones and device for the simultaneous interpretation .
   
 . There were a lots of Americans  -  I had the impression . Tawakkol Karman  hopes that the war will end within short time . Others were not so optimistic . Many thinks that the US media concern about the Yemen war is just a show before the elections .
Let's hope   they are wrong .
