Manipur Ethnic Conflict

A Minister and MLA of the Naga People's Front in Manipur tore into what he called Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's "deceit" in visiting Manipur to play politics amid the ethnic tensions.

The AIFF took the decision despite Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh's earlier request to exempt the two Imphal-based clubs from relegation, citing ethnic conflict in the state.

The Manipur government will take "appropriate steps" to enforce a law that will end the system of hereditary chieftainship in the hills areas of the state, BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

A global alliance of Manipur's Meitei community has called for scrapping a controversial ceasefire with over two dozen Kuki-Zo insurgent groups amid the ethnic conflict in Manipur.

Two of the bunkers in Imphal city were destroyed on Friday by women's group Meira Paibis, who suspect that the security personnel would utilise the fortifications to suppress the people's movement in the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur.

Manipur made headlines for much of 2023 as it saw one of the worst ethnic conflicts between the Kuki and the Meitei communities, resulting in over 200 deaths and leaving nearly 60,000 people homeless.

After a dark Diwali, Christmas in Manipur will be a sorrowful event this year with a significant number of people having no resources to go to church. Thousands of internally displaced people in Manipur have been in relief camps for almost 8 months.

An ex-police officer's home in Manipur's Imphal was ransacked by a vigilante group, the Meria Paibi.

Standing in solidarity with the victims of the ethnic conflict in Manipur, women from the Meitei community on Wednesday did not celebrate Ningol Chakouba, the biggest festival of the community.

The Manipur crisis is a complex web of internecine conflict marked by violence, mistrust, socio-political tensions and a deadly trifecta of insurgency, narcotics and illegal infiltration, which pose significant threats to India's national security.

The picturesque landscape of Manipur belies simmering tension between different ethnic communities. The ongoing violence between the Meiteis and Kukis, marked by mistrust and socio-political tensions, demands a nuanced understanding.

The top Naga body in Manipur has strongly objected to the Kuki-Zo tribes' demand for a separate administration or arrangement as it includes two districts that the Nagas had opposed when they were created in 2016.

Restive Manipur has seen unprecedented clashes between the Meiteis and Kuki-Chin-Zo tribes for over three months with no sign of respite. Notwithstanding the government and civil bodies' call for peace, the scale of violence has gone down only a bit.

Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Sunday asserted that if the Manipur ethnic conflict is not resolved soon, it may create security problems for the country.

Nearly three months after violence erupted in Manipur between the Kuki tribal group and the ethnic majority Meiteis over sharing economic benefits and quotas given to the tribes, there are little signs of the conflict coming to an end.
