Indian Prime Minister Condemns Horrific Ethnic Conflict After Disturbing Video Emerges
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has broken his months-long silence on the deadly ethnic conflict in Manipur after a video emerged showing the horrific assault and alleged gang rape of two Kuki tribal women by a mob from the Meitei tribal group. The incident, which occurred in early May, sparked outrage across India. The conflict between the Meitei and Kuki tribes has claimed over 140 lives, mostly from the Kuki community, and led to widespread displacement and destruction. The delayed response from authorities and the public drew criticism. The Prime Minister finally addressed the issue, promising action against those responsible, and the Supreme Court also called for urgent intervention. Activists expressed disappointment that it took such a disturbing video for the situation in Manipur to garner attention. The nation now awaits concrete measures to address the conflict and ensure justice for the victims and affected communities.
