"Violent Rampage: Indian Region Teeters on Brink of Civil War as Armed Mobs Run Amok"

Armed militias have formed in Manipur, a remote northeastern state in India, as simmering tensions between ethnic groups have erupted into violence, resulting in a state of near civil war. The clashes, which have left at least 120 dead, have led to the displacement of tens of thousands of people and the destruction of homes and villages. The conflict, largely hidden from the rest of India due to an internet shutdown, is rooted in long-standing ethnic divisions and grievances. The government's response has been criticized for its silence and failure to find a solution.
