Recent clashes have erupted in Manipur between Kuki protesters and security forces after the central government ordered the resumption of free movement across districts. The Kuki tribes are demanding a separate administration before allowing unrestricted movement, a demand intensified following ethnic clashes with the Meitei community since May 2023. Protesters have engaged in disruptive actions, including blocking roads and confronting security forces, leading to injuries. The conflict stems from long-standing disputes over land rights, political representation, and the Kuki community's historical pursuit of a separate territory. These demands have been resisted by Meitei organisations, furthering the divide and instability in the region.
