Two tribal women, both over 50, have been shot dead this month publicly in Manipur's capital city of Imphal, one of them with an intellectual disability. When Hangzo Donggaihching was shot dead on July 6, a video was circulated where her
body is lying on the road as people stop their vehicles, look, talk to each other like nothing has happened. Then some Meira Phaibi walk around like thugs shooing people away. Fake news about her was circulated from Imphal and then the issue just died. Now a second woman Lucy
Marim was killed and her face disfigured yesterday. Since this lady is from a Naga tribe, 4 arrests have supposedly been made. Biren is ofcourse silent and so is his entourage. But are such killings in broad daylight being normalised now in Imphal? Also, any statements from
'Manipur's torch bearing women activists' aka Meira Paibis? These two are also women right? One of them literally has no family, nothing and was still killed in cold blood. Anyway, if there is any statements please send it to me, I'm not able to find looking forward

~'Let's capture him alive': India state in grip of ethnic violence~

My report for @AJEnglish on the brutality that went down in Langza of Churachandpur last week, the killing of David Thiek and how the ethnic violence continues unabated in Manipur

Photos from Langza when I visited on July 4:

Leaders of Gwaltabi village in Saikul bordering Yaingangpokpi Imphal East released 5 Meiteis yesterday after they were found to be unarmed civilians who had lost their way and strayed into the Kuki village. The 5 Meiteis were handed over to the Jat regiment.
Today, firing has been going on at Samulamlan Block, Churachandpur district, from early in the morning when the area was fired at from Bishnupur side. A person belonging to the Hmar (Kuki-Zo) tribe was found murdered in Langza Village.
(Not describing what they did to him, it's too gruesome and nauseating.) This village is predominantly Kom but had Hmar people too most of whose houses were burnt before. Armed Meiteis today landed up at the village again and rounded up a few people who they spotted.

EP11: In this episode, I spoke to Kim Neilhang, a final year LLM student from Manipur University & Elizabeth Nengneilhing MBBS student of Regional Institute of Medical Sciences about how Kuki-Zomi students faced violence in Imphal in their universities
https://t.co/eggXxmn3Ubsunoindia.in/dispatches-fro…
and now face apathy from their university and state government. Medical students told me that their classes have been resumed in Imphal and those who can't attend in person can opt for online classes. When there is no internet in Manipur!
Which means that those in the hill districts can't attend, obviously. There has been no acknowledgement let alone attempts to reach out to students/faculty from Manipur University who faced violence and lost access to whatever was left in their rooms including research

Rahul Gandhi in Manipur is the story, here's the main story:
Firing started yesterday at 5 30 AM in L Tangnaum which is at Kangpokpi border. Central forces came under attack from armed Meiteis here & soon after at L Munlai. Three Meiteis were killed in the crossfire. At noon,
official sources told me that Bethel, a Kuki village situated at the border also came under attack. Most of Bethel was already burnt down by Meiteis early in June. In the crossfire, a Kuki police constable was shot dead. Most of the leftover houses of Kukis in Bethel have also
reportedly been burnt down. Firing started soon after in Thingsat area, close to Motbung, at 4 in the evening. It was only around 6 30 PM that the firing stopped, after close to 13 hours of exchange of fire between mostly AR and armed Meiteis. This brings us to the issue of

This is a prayer to bring peace and harmony. 1000s of people have lost their land, are homeless. We have faith, we hope God brings about a change in the hearts of the people, of the State and Central government.

We heard firing yesterday at the border of Kangpokpi from 12 am to 3 am. Firing took place between Meiteis and Indian Army's Jat Regiment in and around Leimakhong area, one officer was injured. He's stable now. Following this, early in the morning today, residents from the
bordering villages formed a human chain and prayed on the streets in the rain for an hour. Most of the people I spoke to just want the violence to end. It's been more than a month and yet nothing from PM or HM, they said.

EP09: Buffer Zones are being created at the borders (their effectiveness is still suspect) and one of them is at Phaileng by Assam Rifles. This area has seen repeated attacks, one of which was videographed. Arambai Thenggol cadre were seen running away

in the video. The village chief told me the state police officials had fired at the AR multiple times in May and early June within this 500 mtr buffer zone. Since, the AR has built up multiple checkpoints and bunkers in and around the buffer zone to secure this part
of the border region. And the local community has been helping them. This wasn't always the case though. Initially Kuki groups were actually distrustful of central forces as well, as they thought the army had done nothing to protect them in Imphal in the initial days,
