This is what a country that finds solace looks like: the morning after the release of the kidnapped - voila! news. The streets are empty of people, the sounds of open TV or radio come from the windows of the houses, the few who were not allowed to enjoy another little time at home in front of the screens, smile at each other in the street.

For comparison, one can hang from the tallest tree in the memory of the old readers: the wind of Entebbe sang on this morning. Even Brigadier General Hagari, the man with the poker face and the impossible diction, has trouble hiding his smile.
