npub1mmfwxp0jkw6un7hf75k0p8kpemm4smau2c4m8ea2w7r7v52lhjusx4eknq (npub1mmf…eknq) it reminds me so much of how Canada imposed the band council system to replace existing existing indigenous governance systems. It seems completely undemocratic and disrespectful to just drop in and impose a new leadership. Hard to negotiate peace with a leadership the people haven’t chosen and don’t respect.
