A prolonged bout of intense conflict between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribals in India's remote northeastern region has continued un... Read More
The tribal communities of Meitei and Kuki, in the northeastern state of Manipur, India, find themselves embroiled in a bitter sectarian conflict that has escalated into deadly armed confrontations. Over 180 lives have been lost since the onset of violence in May 2023. Several thousands have been forced to flee their homes due to the extensive violence, which includes reported instances of sexual assault and villages being reduced to ashes. The Kuki tribe, though accounting for only a third of the Meitei population, has suffered disproportionately, with its members making up two-thirds of the casualties. The severity of the conflict is most evident at the intersection of the Bishnupur and Churachandpur districts along the highway, where Meitei and Kuki territories respectively dominate. This location has witnessed the worst of the clashes. Despite attempts at establishing peace, there appears to be no forthcoming resolution in sight.
