Kuki-Zo Council Warns of Political Action Amid Manipur Ethnic Violence and Killings
Tensions in Manipur have escalated following the killing of three Meitei men near the Imphal East-Kangpokpi border, reportedly linked to disputes over tree felling. The Kuki-Zo Council has criticized the government for selective action in addressing ethnic violence, alleging inadequate protection for the Kuki-Zo community and threatening political measures, including withdrawing MLAs from the state government. The council demands a separate Union Territory with a legislature, citing ongoing violence, displacement, and perceived discrimination against Kuki-Zo civilians amid complex conflicts involving Meitei, Kuki-Zo, and Naga groups.
