I was both glad and disappointed to read Dr Harka Gurung's "The Centre cannot hold" (#88). I was glad because at this time of crisis Nepal's districts need to be stronger in order to stop the carnage of Accham from happening again. Still, I was disappointed that the government had not yet decided to unite the districts inhabited by the Kirati people, because the fat cats do not care for indigenous rights.
