		<description><![CDATA[Dear Martha, Selam, Ye Oak Town Lij and Miss World Ethiopia,

I really respect and apperciate your opinion. I respect any person&#039;s opinion and even criticism. Cause I dont expect others to think like the way I perceive the world. I really encourage you all to visit my website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ethiosbesttoday.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.ethiosbesttoday.com&lt;/a&gt;. It will help you to see where I started my journey to help Ethiopia and where I am headed.

Jorga, yes, it is open to the public. You can check the event&#039;s website for more information at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.missafricaunitedstates.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.missafricaunitedstates.com&lt;/a&gt; I really would love to see many Ethiopians stand by me because the success would be an illusion without others&#039; support and help.

Thank You all
Respectfully,]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First I want to say congratulations to Sofia and wish you all the best.  I am very proud of you!!

With all due respect to Martha, I find your comments not offensive, but highly laughable. There are many ways bringing honor to Ethiopia.  I know it makes you embarrassed, but as a former miss Ethiopia, I can assure you that there is nothing more thrilling than to represent and bring honor to your beloved country in the world stage. Try it!  There are generations of pageant queens from around all corners of the globe (all colors, shades, and backgrounds) who have done and continue to do an amazing and incredible job for our planet and (FYI) Miss Africa U.S.A is one of them!  Please stop the anger. There is so much to live for than to be angry and disagreeable all the time.   Thank you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Martha, what are you? An intellectual? You make absolutely no sense.  I have a Ph.D. in Philosophy and I drive a cab in Oakland.  Please don&#039;t call me an intellectual.  In my opinion, your argument is lame. All of us, including Sofia, are entitled to our god-giving rights, as individuals, including the right to pursue whatever makes us happy in life..be it Miss Africa USA or driving a taxi.  

Sofia yene konjo I wish you all the best in your upcoming competition. What you have already achieved by becoming a finalist have accorded you and the other fellow African ladies a place in the history books of the Miss Africa USA pageant. Congratulations!  I am sure you already know this, so I am probably preaching to the quire, do not listen to negative people.  They are a vexation to the spirit.  Just pray over your dreams and focus on what you want to achieve and work hard and give it your 100%.  God will take care of the rest.  And please know that the vast silent majority of Ethiopians are behind you!! None of us questions your motives, I don&#039;t. All the best to you!!!

		<description><![CDATA[The purpose of modeling or beauty contest is ONLY to tell the world that you are better than others. We have many Ethiopians who strive for intellectual growth... particularly in the rular region, and examine the daily struggle of our brothers and sisters. We can learn and be inspired by these people not by women who is so obssesed with their beauty. We have been portrayed as &quot;the poorest nation&quot;, &quot;third world people&quot;, &quot;beggers&quot;. I wonder how this can improve our image? We Ethiopian women need to embrase dignity, and intellectual growth.
