Kuki National Organisation Denies Naga-Kuki Conflict Narrative in Manipur Violence
The Kuki National Organisation (KNO), representing armed Kuki groups in peace talks with the Centre, has accused the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) of creating a false narrative that the ongoing Manipur conflict is a Naga-Kuki issue. KNO spokesperson Dr Sailen Haokip stated the unrest since May 2023 is not a Naga-Kuki conflict but a Meitei-Kuki one, warning that NSCN-IM's actions could escalate tensions. He urged the Centre to intervene to prevent further violence.
