Why did it make me cry?

I actually cried when I listend to what she was saying. I had heard many satanic brutality happening in Ethiopia; I watched many dead bodies of Ethiopians posted online; I even saw the video of the individuals burned alive in Benshangul. So what Meron said in comparison to the above atrocities is nothing, yet I cried when I listened to her. The only explantion I can come up for my crying is that my emotional reaction is a sign of depleted hope in my beloved Ethiopia. I guess I have no more hope of going back and finding the Ethiopia I knew where I was born and grown up. I have no more hope that the people I love will be free and prosperous any more. The last hope I had carried for all my life came out of me accompanied by my tears and left me with a feeling it would never come back.
