Release of Birtukan & my feelings

On this particular day 9/10/10, i read the reports from different web sites , i got the information from ethiomedia, ethioforum , abugida and so on. When i read tht Birtukan had been released from the prison I was very happy , i felt very good about that.
Any way the conditions that lead her to be released were so painful, i was not expecting from her to ask a pardon from the tyrant meles, i was expecting, she would stood firm . She had not committed any crime , so why she should ask for a pardon? at the same time five youngesters had given their life in order to protect Birtukan , so i was thinking she would stood firm
Especially when i was watching her on the weyane TV , It was a shock to me, it was a kind of tv parade, how this guys are cruel and fascist? i know that there was a psychological pressure, for sure there might be a torture , physical abuse , i can imagine that.
Meles and his regime had released birtukan with out their will, they had been forced by the international community , weyanes knew that if they do not release her she would have been nominated for the 'sakarov prize' a prize for human right activists which gives her the highest recognition, due to all these pressures weyane must release her , but they were looking for a kind of face saving ( yemaryam menged in amharic) .
Meles and co. had been kneeled down, still they had been dwarfed by birtukan.Her spirit is more than any thing , the fight was between evil and good .
All the way the pressures which had been exercised by the so called shimagles were too much, i can feel that , those, the so called elders were serving weyane like a cadre , they were an instrument to the fascist dictator zenawi.
I am asking my self , do i have a morale ground to criticize birtukan , ofcourse not , but any way still i appereciate her, when i am comparing my self with her, i use to ask my self , what is my contribution to mother land? what did i have done at this crucial time, still i feel a guilty conscious .
At this day i had visited a video at the web site , in the video , it has been shown how the youngsters had recieved her, they had surrounded her, how they had given her a respect . They have prepared a heroic welcome. They were singing Ethiopian patriotic song. The amazing thing was their creativity, as a matter of fact weyane had not permitted the plain Ethiopin green yellow red flag, the only flag which would be flied in the city should be the weyane's flag with star ,but the youngsters by passed this law , they had prepared and hanged separately green, yellow , red coloured small fabrics , it was perfect .
At last not least when i was hearing the songs, the song was in amharic '' beabatochachin dem tekeberesh yenorshew enat ethiopia yedeferesh yiwedem' i was remembering ethiopia , i was crying , these youngsters are heroes, they are honest , they love their mother land!!!
Ethiopia will prevail!!!!
