ITLF Press Release January 24, 2024 For the first time in history, a militia that led attacks on innocent civilians because of their ethnicity and which openly displays sophisticated weapons stolen from police armouries was able to order state lawmakers, including the chief minister, to attend a meeting it had called and made the MLAs & MPs endorse their demands. Manipur state police and central security forces remained mute spectators as Arambai Tenggol leader Korounganba Khuman arrived at the venue in Imphal in a police vehicle, and the militant group proceeded to administer an oath-taking ceremony to the MLAs. Today’s events have shown that Manipur’s government has submitted its authority to an armed militant group. Imposition of President’s Rule is the only way the central government can prevent total anarchy in Manipur.

Manipur reels from shocking video: UNLF militants, posing as state police, attack Kuki-Zo village. A video circulating online today has plunged Manipur into fresh turmoil. It allegedly shows heavily armed militants, dressed in #ManipurStatePolice uniforms, attacking the #Kuki_Zo village of Satang, Saikul in Kangpokpi District. The militants openly identify themselves as the proscribed United National Liberation Front (#UNLF) and proudly display their dual emblems: the Manipur Police badge on one shoulder and the UNLF badge on the other. This blatant impersonation of state forces raises crucial questions about the extent of UNLF infiltration and potential collusion with local authorities. The video fuels existing tensions and casts doubt on the recent peace deal signed between a faction of UNLF and the Indian government. A popular Meitei Facebook page also claimed the attack was carried out in collaboration with Commandant Oinam Meitei of the 18 Assam Rifles. Another video reportedly from the same scene shows Korunganba, leader of the Meitei radical group #ArambaiTenggolMilitants, leading a large group of men, all dressed in police uniforms, towards the Saikul area. These disturbing visuals demand immediate and thorough investigation. The Indian government must clarify its stance: are these attacks the work of a rogue UNLF faction or evidence of a deeper, coordinated operation involving state personnel and Meitei militants? #ManipurRuledByUNLF #MeiteiNarcoTerrorists #MeiteiThreatTactics #ManipurCrisis #ManipurPoliceInfiltratedByInsurgents #UNLF_MPA #SaveManipurTribalsfromMeiteis #TotalSeparationOnlySolution #UnionTerritoryWithLegislature4KukiZo @rashtrapatibhvn @HMOIndia @PMOIndia @BJP4India @jeegujja @meipat @paulphoenix1985 @FriedrichPieter @nusratchirps @NELiveTV @ZoramthangaCM @newslaundry @IndiaTodayNE @IndianExpress @TheQuint @nytimes @htTweets @EastMojo @thewire_in @ShillongTimesIn @timesofindia @TheTelegraph__ @NELiveTV @BBCIndia @Lal_Duhoma @NIA_India @Reuters @ABPNews @ZeeNewsEnglish @CNNnews18 @chanchinthar @aajtak @RahulGandhi @INCIndia @thewire_in @Polytikles @SCofInd @ravishndtv @VanlalvenaK @Jairam_Ramesh @MahuaMoitra @MamataOfficial @derekobrienmp @sardesairajdeep @pbhushan1 @advcoling @majoramitbansal @SushantSin @rwac48

Meitei Influencers Cross the Line with Racist Taunts Against Kuki-Zo Women and Children In a shocking Facebook post this week, #Licypriya Kangujam takes her divisive rhetoric to a new low by taunting Kuki women and children in Moreh. Her social media handle ominously declares, "You chasing us away is temporary, you are not even worth it. When we chase you, however, it will be for the rest of your life." The language barrier has seemingly shielded this internet war and the hate speech from broader media attention. Manipuri influencers, utilizing their platforms, shamelessly sideline, demonize, and dehumanize the Kuki-Zo tribals, making no attempt to conceal their bias. Unlike the expected hate from anonymous social media accounts, the same venom from someone wielding considerable influence is outright abhorrent. Licypriya's accountability rests on the adults in her life who have put her in this distressing situation at such a young age.

Meitei Narco-Terrorist Killed Two Tribals: One of them an IRB personnel November 20, 2023 Amidst the nationwide grief over the #CricketWorldCup2023 loss, the indigenous Kuki-Zo tribals of Manipur mourn the loss of two more lives at the hands of proscribed Meitei terrorists and Arambai Tenggol cadres. They ambushed the two individuals along the Lamka to Kanggui (Kangpokpi) road. The attack took place between L. Tangnuam and Kharam Vaiphei village at approximately 9:30 AM today (Nov 20, 2023), resulting in the tragic loss of two lives. The victims have been identified as follows: 1. Henminlen Vaiphei, son of Luntinlal Vaiphei, residing in Mission Veng, Leimakhong. 2. Thangminlun Hangsing, son of Lunkhongam Hangsing, hailing from Khunkho village. A team of Kuki-Zo went to repair the Lamka-Kanggui road, which had suffered significant damage due to recent heavy rainfall. The victims had dropped off their friends at a designated point and were on their way back to Leimakhong when they fell prey to a ruthless attack by Meitei militias, a mere 50 meters from where they had parted ways with their companions. Since they were engaged in road repairs, none of them were armed. The victims were defenseless against the Meitei terror group, who mercilessly took their lives. Their friends, also unarmed, were unable to come to their aid. The attackers fled the scene after shooting and killing Henminlen Vaiphei and Thangminlun Hangsing. It is worth noting that Mr. Henminlen Vaiphei is a personnel of the 6th Indian Reserve Battalion, stationed at Leimakhong. #ManipurViolence #ManipurCrisis #UTWithLegislature4KukiZo #SeparateAdministration4Kuki_Zo #SeparateAdministrationOnlySolution #JusticeForKukiZo #JusticeForManipurTribals #ThisisKuki_ZoStory #TribalLivesMatter @rashtrapatibhvn @PMOIndia @HMOIndia @TheQuint @firstpost @indiatimes @Spearcorps @NamtaUs @htTweets @thewire_in @KaranThapar_TTP @BDUTT @BhavikaKapoor5 @bkdandriyal @Paul_Koshy @the_hindu @ttindia @ambedkariteIND @NDTV @PTI @PCI @IndEditorsGuild @afridahussai @VanlalvenaK @Outlookindia @vijaita @jeegujja @meipat @paulphoenix1985 @themooknayakeng @mojostory @zoramthanga @rahulgandhi @the_hindu @Polytikles @Kautilya33 @EastMojo @Outlookindia @scroll_in @newslaundry @IndiaTodayNE @indianexpress @inc @aitc @sardesairajdeep @TribalArmy @TribalAffairsIn

Unveiling Disturbing Racism: Licypriya's Shocking Comments Fuel Ethnic Tensions in Manipur In an alarming turn of events in Manipur, a supposed environmental activist, 12-year-old #Licypriya #Kangujam, continue to takes to social media with a deeply troubling racist tirade. While her status as a minor raises questions about accountability, the greater concern lies with the irresponsibility of those overseeing her actions. In a Facebook post, she overtly targets the Kuki-Zo community, labeling them as "backward and stupid creatures." It's disheartening to witness someone, who claims to represent the nation, resort to such divisive language instead of fostering peace between communities. These words, far from those of a minor, reflect a disturbingly racist and xenophobic tone more akin to an adult, possibly her father who is a con-man. The repercussions on her future are worrisome, and the guardians' role in perpetuating conflict is deeply concerning. #ManipurViolence #MeiteiXenophobia #ManipurCrisis #MeiteiInfluencersSpewingRacialSlurs #SaveManipurTribalsfromMeiteis #TotalSeparationOnlySolution #UnionTerritoryWithLegislature4KukiZo #ThisIsKuki_ZoStory @rashtrapatibhvn @HMOIndia @PMOIndia @BJP4India @tanmoyofc @B5001001101 @jeegujja @meipat @paulphoenix1985 @mtfdelhi @FriedrichPieter @nusratchirps @NELiveTV @ZoramthangaCM @newslaundry @IndiaTodayNE @IndianExpress @TheQuint @nytimes @htTweets @EastMojo @thewire_in @ShillongTimesIn @timesofindia @TheTelegraph__ @NELiveTV @BBCIndia @NIA_India @Reuters @ABPNews @ZeeNewsEnglish @CNNnews18 @aajtak @RahulGandhi @zoo_bear @INCIndia @thewire_in @Jairam_Ramesh @MahuaMoitra @MamataOfficial @derekobrienmp @sardesairajdeep @pbhushan1 @advcoling @majoramitbansal @SushantSin @TribalArmy @TribalAffairsIn
