You may have better results with:

addressbook['Friends']['kassem"] = {
                                       'address':'Aleppo Street',
                                       'Country':'Palestine',
                                       'articles':{
                                                   'blog':'
http://blogger.com',
                                                   'news':'http://news.com/'
                                                   }
                                       }
                           }


this will create a new key in the Friends dict
