A former chief of the UNLF has stated that non-state actors from outside India are intensifying the conflict in Manipur's Kuki-dominated regions.
According to a former chief of the United National Liberation Front (UNLF), non-state actors originating from beyond India's borders are reportedly overwhelming Kuki areas in Manipur. This influx is contributing to the ongoing violence in the region.
The statement from the ex-UNLF leader suggests an external dimension to the conflict, indicating that individuals or groups not affiliated with Indian state structures are actively involved. The specific areas within Manipur that are being overwhelmed have been identified as Kuki-dominated.
This assertion adds a new layer of complexity to the understanding of the Manipur crisis, highlighting potential cross-border interference and its impact on the escalating violence.
