Liked the story until the end, where the decision makes zero sense.
"If the refugees stage a coup to force people to the negociation table in order to improve their situation, they'll be hated, so we'll just repress them because that's a better outcome."
Like, do you think they'll be liked because they lost? No, that just means that not only they'll be hated, but on top of it they still won't have shit, or more realistically have even less.
Big disapointment, especially with it taking so much of the ending instead of the relationship...
