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

Armed mobs and ethnic clashes have pushed the remote northeastern Indian state of Manipur to the brink of civil war. The conflict between the Meiteis and Kukis, two ethnic groups in the region, has resulted in dozens of deaths, arson, and mass displacement. Armed militias have formed on both sides, with police armories being looted and villages being ransacked. The unrest has divided state forces and left the region in a state of chaos, with little intervention from the central government. The conflict highlights deep-rooted problems and tensions between the two communities, threatening the stability of Manipur.

"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.
