She was recently pushed to step down from the leadership of her party,\u00a0Unity for Democracy and Justice (UDJ) Party<\/em>.

And the whole world will know the veracity about the dictatorial regime of Melese Zenawie behavior. Birtukan is not the only one after \u00a0 so called \u00abdictatorial pardon\u00bb who has been forced to exile.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Birtukan was scheduled to leave for the US on Saturday, March 19, 2011, accompanied by her daughter. She is expected to arrive first in San Francisco, California, where she has relatives, sources told Fortune.<\/p>\n
Birtukan will head off for Maryland after spending three weeks in San Francisco, where she is expected to spend the next two to three years pursuing higher education there. In a statement she released on Friday, Birtukan asserted that she is not bowing out of politics.<\/ins><\/span><\/p>\n
