Thousands Rally in Manipur Demanding SoO Pact Abrogation and Government Accountability
Thousands from Meitei, Naga, and other communities rallied in Imphal and Senapati demanding the abrogation of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with Kuki militant groups, lasting peace, justice for violence victims, and safe resettlement of internally displaced persons. The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) and United Naga Council endorsed the protests, which also called for the resignation of Manipur's Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister over perceived failures in protecting indigenous people amid ongoing ethnic violence since May 2023. Security forces imposed barricades to manage the demonstrations.
