Manipur Rallies Demand Peace, SoO Pact Abrogation, and Political Accountability
Thousands from various communities, including Meitei, Naga, and displaced families, held rallies in Manipur demanding peace, justice, and the abrogation of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with Kuki militant groups. The rallies, supported by Naga organizations like the United Naga Council, also called for the resignation of state leaders, citing failures to protect indigenous people amid ongoing ethnic violence since May 2023. Security measures were heightened during the demonstrations, which highlighted concerns over SoO cadres' alleged involvement in violence and the need for safe resettlement of internally displaced persons.
