This story = the perfect metaphor for Indigenous resilience. “The search team conducted multiple sweeps from the air, attaching a long-range speaker to a helicopter on which they played a message from the children’s grandmother, in the Huitoto language”. theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…

That being said, the fact that this group has broken through security suggests a degree of complicity with at least some parts of the security and policing forces responsible for these locations. 4/

But their numbers are small and they are disorganised. This is a fringe movement. There is the potential for escalation, but that currently seems unlikely. 3/

This intersects with some important indigenous issues. Castillo was descended from Indigenous peoples, though did not identify as Indigenous himself. Indigenous leadership in #Peru must be a part of dialogue re: constitutional reform.

The issue is not whether Boluarte is a legitimate or popular successor, it is whether she can move the country towards badly needed constitutional reform. I asses this is the key step needed for long term stability.

The situation in #Peru is more complicated than western media reports. 1. Castillo did attempt a legislative coup. 2. He enjoys a lot of support in some quarters, enmity in Congress. 3. The constitution is deeply unpopular with no clear road to reform. aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/…
