An adviser to the region's leader stated that nearly all of the 120,000 Karabakh Armenians prefer to leave their historic lands, although the timing of their relocation remains uncertain. The situation has raised concerns about the fate of these individuals and the responsibility of those involved in their displacement.

Understanding the Unrest: Decoding Manipur's Violent Turmoil

The small Indian state of Manipur is experiencing a state of civil war as the majority Meitei and minority Kuki groups clash over land and influence. The violence, which began in May, has resulted in at least 130 deaths, 400 injuries, and the displacement of over 60,000 people. Tensions escalated when Kukis protested against Meitei demands for official tribal status, leading to clashes and destruction of villages. The conflict is rooted in ethnicity rather than religion, and both sides have engaged in violence against women. The Indian government has deployed troops to the region, but the violence continues to spread.
