The ITLF has urged the Governor of Manipur to separate the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities to end ongoing violence. Over 4,500 houses have been burned down and 36,000 people are now homeless.

Manipur's month-long conflict between the Meitei and Kuki peoples has left thousands displaced and resulted in damaged property and deaths. Manipur's longstanding internal divisions, political and economic disparities, and religious tensions are highlighted as the situation intensifies. The need for peaceful coexistence and religious harmony is emphasized through ongoing Christian resistance. The article sheds light on the complexity of Manipur's situation.

The Kuki tribe, a minority group in northeast India, protest ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur resulting in nearly 100 deaths and 300 injuries. They demand action from the Indian government, as Indian security forces are deployed to prevent further clashes between rival tribes. Over 37,000 people have sought refuge in temporary camps, and the Kuki community is calling it an ethnic cleansing attempt. The situation remains tense with the state under curfew and internet services suspended for a month.

The Kuki tribals in Manipur claim that the ongoing violence is an ethnic cleansing campaign by the Meiteis, demanding for a separate administration. The KIM has accused Meitei Leepun chief Pramot Singh of planned genocide and calls for his arrest, hoping for a total separation from Manipur. Despite their appeal, both state and central governments have rejected their demand.
