(Thread 1/5) The following videos depict the dire situation faced by the Kuki-Zomi tribals during the attempted ethnic-cleansing in Manipur. The conflict originated when returning rally goers were waylaid and beaten around Kangvai, a village bordering Bishnupur district.
It is clear that the violence developed out of a well-coordinated plan to erase the Kuki-Zomi from their own land. Is it still safe to say that the Meitei & Kuki-Zomi can still stay together?
2/5 "Unleashing Chaos: Manipur University, along with Kuki-Zomi populated areas Engulfed in Flames as Kuki-Zomi Communities Suffer Devastating Attacks"
The devastating on-site captured of how the targeted violence against Kuki-Zomi communities is vividly portrayed in this -
heart-wrenching videos. Flames engulf the once vibrant neighborhoods and how the Institution has failed to protect its students. You can see the destructive rampage orchestrated by Meitei individuals leaving a trail of wrenching destruction and despair.
(3/5) The footage reveals Meitei miscreants brandishing weapons, terrorizing Kuki-Zomi communities.Guns in hand, Meitei extremists freely propagate their message of hate: "Kill all the Kukis." Such bigotry cannot be tolerated!
Can we still believe in coexistence between Kuki-Zomi and Meitei communities after witnessing this brutality? The state government's negligence and failure to act is unconscionable.
(4/5) The relentless ethnic cleansing efforts inflicted upon the Kuki-Zomi community by the Meitei community forced one into a harrowing predicament, where escape and seeking refuge became the only viable options.
Burdened by an overwhelming sense of betrayal and abandonment, the Kuki-Zomi people, left with no alternative but to take decisive actions for Separate Administration. Confronted with the harsh reality that peaceful coexistence with the Meitei is no longer an attainable dream,
the Kuki-Zomi community made a resolute and courageous choice: to establish a separate administration. The only escape resolition to gets liberated from the menacing specter of continued persecution.
(5/5)"Amidst a curfew, the Meitei community recently organized a peace rally, displaying placards that carried discriminatory messages like 'No Homeland for Kukis in Manipur,' 'Preserve Manipur's territorial integrity,' and 'No separate administration at any cost;
Go back Chin Kuki separatist foreigners.' This flagrant display of prejudice clearly indicates the Chief Minister's alignment with the Meitei community. Faced with such discrimination and rejection, the Kuki-Zomi people, as indigenous inhabitants of Manipur,
urgently require a separate administration to protect their rights and preserve their unique identity. The historical records officially recognize their deep roots in Manipur, but the widening divide necessitates immediate action for the establishment of a separate administration
to ensure the Kuki-Zomi community's well-being and dignity."
Sometimes when differences run so deep for so long, maybe it's best to seperate.
