Kuki Inpi Condemns Ambush Killing Church Leaders in Manipur

Lamka, May 13, 2026: Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM), the apex body of the Kuki tribes in Manipur, has strongly condemned what it described as a “cowardly and barbaric ambush” allegedly carried out by the ZUF-Kamson faction and VBIGs upon Kuki-Zo Church leaders and civilians between Kotzim and Kotlen areas on Tuesday.

In a press statement issued from its secretariat in Lamka, KIM said the attack resulted in the deaths of three individuals — Rev. V. Sitlhou, Rev. Kaigoulen, and Pastor Paogoulen — while five others were critically injured and are battling for their lives.

The organisation expressed deep anguish over the incident, especially the killing of Rev. V. Sitlhou, whom it described as a respected Church leader and peacemaker. According to the statement, Rev. Sitlhou had recently participated in a peace mission alongside the Nagaland Joint Christian Forum (NJCF) in Kohima aimed at fostering reconciliation, peace, and mutual understanding between the Kuki-Zo and Tangkhul communities.

KIM stated that Christian leaders from both communities had discussed peaceful coexistence, restraint, and dialogue as the only path forward amid rising tensions. It said the killing of a leader dedicated to peace and reconciliation was “profoundly heartbreaking and enraging.”

The organisation further said that despite repeated provocations, intimidation, and targeted aggression, the Kuki-Zo people had exercised maximum restraint in the interest of maintaining peace and preventing further escalation. However, it termed the ambush on unarmed Church leaders and civilians as a direct assault on the spirit of peace itself.

KIM also questioned the timing and intent behind the attack, noting that it occurred when sincere peace initiatives and dialogues were being encouraged by Church leaders and civil society organisations to restore harmony between communities.

Calling for immediate action, the organisation urged the Government of India to initiate a thorough investigation into the incident and ensure that the perpetrators are swiftly identified and brought to justice. It also appealed to civil society organisations, churches, and democratic forces to unequivocally condemn the violence and stand firmly against attacks on innocent civilians and religious leaders.

Kuki Inpi Manipur further appealed to the Kuki-Zo community to remain united, vigilant, and steadfast during what it described as a painful and difficult period. It warned that repeated targeted attacks against the community, if met with inaction, could severely endanger the already fragile prospects of peace and coexistence in the region.

While reiterating that efforts toward peace and reconciliation are always welcome and necessary, the organisation maintained that such “barbaric crimes” are unacceptable and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

The statement concluded with KIM conveying its deepest condolences to the bereaved families and prayers for the speedy recovery of those critically injured.

Manipur Unrest: 4 Kuki Pastors Killed in Ambush; Shutdown Called

Lamka, May 13, 2026: At least four Kuki pastors were killed, four others critically injured, while one person reportedly escaped unhurt after suspected militants allegedly ambushed two vehicles travelling along the Lamka–Kangpokpi road on Wednesday morning. 

According to sources, the victims included six pastors and two drivers travelling together when the attack took place between Kotjim and Veitum/Jangnomphai area. The incident has triggered widespread outrage and condemnation across Kuki civil society organisations.

The deceased and travellers have been identified as:

• Rev. SM Haopu
• Rev. Hekai Simte
• Rev. Kaigoulun
• Rev. Paothang
• Pastor Paogou
• Lelen (Driver)
• Goumang (Driver)

Among the fatalities confirmed so far are:

• Pu Vumthang Sitlhou
• Pastor Paogoulen
• Pastor Kaigoulun

Several of the injured victims are said to be in critical condition.

According to sources, one of the deceased, Rev. Vumthang Sitlhou, was the son of Rev. Pakho Sitlhou, a prominent Kuki Christian leader credited with bringing Christianity to many Rongmei communities. Rev. Pakho Sitlhou had reportedly translated numerous Kuki gospel songs into the Rongmei language, contributing significantly to inter-community Christian outreach and fellowship.

Sources further stated that Rev. Pakho Sitlhou’s wife and Rev. Vumthang’s mother belongs to the Rongmei community from Sempang village.

Rev. Vumthang Sitlhou’s brother, Henkholen Sitlhou, is the founder of Presidency College, Motbung. Rev. Vumthang himself had also served as the General Secretary of the Manipur Baptist Convention and was widely respected among Christian communities in the state. 

Following the incident, Thadou organisations in Kangpokpi district announced an immediate total shutdown condemning the killing of innocent religious leaders.

Meanwhile, the Kuki Students’ Organisation (KSO), Churachandpur District, also declared an emergency indefinite shutdown across Churachandpur district with effect from 12:30 PM on May 13.

In a press release issued by KSO Churachandpur, the organisation strongly condemned the “heinous ambush and brutal killing of innocent TBA Church leaders,” calling the act “inhuman, condemnable and unacceptable.” The organisation further blamed the continued failure of state law enforcement agencies in curbing the activities of “terrorist groups such as ZUF-Kamson (NSCN IM’s proxy) and Arambai Tenggol.”

Injured.

KSO appealed to all sister organisations and the public to cooperate and maintain peace during the shutdown period. However, medical emergencies, press and media services, electricity, and religious ceremonies have been exempted from the purview of the shutdown.

The organisation also warned that any group unwilling to cooperate with the shutdown would be viewed as disrespecting the departed souls.

Kuki CSO Ukhrul Condemns ‘Foreign Aggression’ Claims

OFFICE OF THE

KUKI CSO WORKING COMMITTEE, UKHRUL

OFFICE: ZALENBUNG P.O./P.S LITAN, UKHRUL DISTRICT, MANIPUR – 795145

Ref.No. WC/PR47/04/26 Date: 12/05/2026

Press Statement

The Kuki CSO Working Committee, Ukhrul strongly condemns the misleading and inflammatory narrative circulated by the Meitei Alliance regarding the incidents reported in Kamjong district on 7th May 2026. The statement issued by the organisation is based on unverified allegations, speculative assertions, and deliberate attempts to communalise and internationalise a sensitive security situation without credible evidence.

It is deeply irresponsible to repeatedly propagate the narrative of “foreign aggression” and attribute the incident to Myanmar-based Kuki militant groups when even the Hon’ble Home Minister of Manipur, Shri Govindas Konthoujam, after personally visiting the affected villages, clarified that the term “foreign aggression” was not mentioned in the official reports submitted to the Government.

At the same time, various claims circulating regarding cross-border attacks, drone warfare, and large-scale foreign incursions remain contested and have not been independently substantiated through any transparent public investigation. While certain reports alleged the involvement of KNA-B cadres, contradictory accounts and competing narratives continue to emerge from different stakeholders and agencies.

The Committee further condemns the misinformation propagated by NSCN-IM and Eastern Flank sympathisers in Kamjong and Ukhrul districts in an attempt to deliberately misrepresent attacks on Kuki villages while concealing prevailing ground realities. Such propaganda is clearly aimed at manipulating public perception and generating hostility between communities.

The continued silence surrounding the burning of the Kuki village of Lanchah in Kamjong district has further exposed the selective approach adopted toward violence against Kuki communities. Despite the seriousness of the incident, neither the Government nor major civil society organisations based in Kamjong district issued any meaningful condemnation. Such selective silence only strengthens perceptions of bias and institutional indifference.

Serious concerns have also emerged regarding the activities of armed underground factions operating across the Indo-Myanmar border regions. Reports concerning the presence of NSCN-linked armed elements in civilian-populated areas, obstruction of lawful security operations, and mobilisation of local support networks require an impartial investigation by competent authorities rather than politically motivated narratives.

Particular concern has also arisen regarding reported obstruction of security force movement and operations by organised groups during combing operations and attempts to apprehend armed cadres in certain areas. Any interference with lawful security operations undermines the rule of law, emboldens armed actors, and jeopardises civilian safety.

The attempt by the Meitei Alliance to collectively portray the Kuki community and Kuki civil society organisations as being responsible for transnational militancy is dangerous, divisive, and detrimental to peace-building efforts in Manipur. Such sweeping accusations only deepen mistrust and inflame ethnic tensions during an already fragile situation.

The Kuki CSO Working Committee, Ukhrul reiterates that no community should be demonised on the basis of allegations lacking judicial scrutiny or independent verification. The continued circulation of unverified claims without conclusive evidence risks further destabilising the State.

The Committee calls upon the Government of India and the State authorities to:

• Prevent the spread of misinformation and communal propaganda;
• Conduct an impartial investigation into the activities of NSCN-IM and Eastern Flank armed cadres operating along the Indo-Myanmar border;
• Investigate incidents involving obstruction of lawful security operations in Kamjong and Ukhrul districts;
• Ensure protection of all civilians irrespective of ethnicity or religion; and
• Initiate genuine inter-community dialogue aimed at restoring peace and coexistence.

The Kuki CSO Working Committee, Ukhrul remains committed to constitutional values, peaceful coexistence, and the protection of innocent civilians. Attempts to exploit tragic incidents for communal polarisation and political agendas must be rejected by all responsible sections of society.

Two NE Youth Die in Delhi While Chasing Job Dreams

New Delhi, May 12, 2026: In a heartbreaking incident, two youths from Northeast India lost their lives in Delhi while struggling to build a better future through employment opportunities in the capital. One youth from Assam reportedly died by suicide, while another from Manipur suffered a fatal heart attack.

According to Robin Hibu IPS, President of Helping Hands, the Manipuri youth’s body was flown back home in a coffin today, while the Assamese youth was cremated at Green Park cremation ground in South Delhi.

Robin Hibu expressed deep sorrow over the incident, stating that despite repeated appeals, no Assamese individual in Delhi reportedly came forward to assist with the last rites of the deceased Assamese youth. Eventually, Helping Hands volunteer Raj Hanand, along with a police personnel, conducted the cremation.

Hibu also mentioned that volunteer Naresh Kumar worked throughout the night to facilitate the smooth transportation of the Manipuri youth’s mortal remains to Imphal.

“One was working in a petty job while the other had come to Delhi searching for employment along with his younger sister,” Hibu said.

He described the tragedy as a painful reminder of the struggles faced by many young people from the Northeast who migrate to metropolitan cities in search of livelihood and survival.

“Every time Helping Hands sends back lifeless bodies of Northeast youths in coffins, the same painful question echoes — do we really have no future or opportunities for our youth back home in the eight Northeast states?” he lamented.

Hibu further expressed concern over the increasing number of youths arriving in major cities despite harsh conditions, desperately searching for jobs and often facing extreme hardship.

The incident has once again highlighted the emotional, economic, and social challenges faced by many Northeast youths living away from home in search of better opportunities.

KOHUR Rebuts COCOMI, Seeks Probe Into Militias

The Kuki Organisation for Human Rights Trust (KOHUR) on May 12 issued a strong rejoinder to a recent press release by the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), accusing the valley-based body of “narrative manipulation” and shielding armed groups involved in the Manipur conflict.

In the statement, KOHUR alleged that COCOMI had openly declared “war” against the Kuki-Zo community in September 2023 and accused the organisation of fuelling ethnic tensions during the ongoing violence in Manipur. The group claimed that such statements contributed to attacks on Kuki-Zo villages and civilians.

KOHUR also defended its role as a human rights body, stating that it had conducted fact-finding missions and submitted reports to constitutional authorities, including the President of India, Union Home Minister, National Human Rights Commission, and the Supreme Court.

The organisation further accused COCOMI of selectively highlighting cross-border militant activities while ignoring the presence of banned Meitei insurgent groups such as PLA, UNLF, KYKL, PREPAK, and KCP. According to the statement, these groups have long operated from bases outside India and maintained links with foreign networks.

KOHUR also criticised the rise of armed Meitei groups, including Arambai Tenggol, alleging that over 6,000 weapons looted from police armouries remain in the hands of militias. The organisation accused COCOMI of running campaigns against central security forces while remaining silent on attacks against Kuki-Zo civilians and villages since May 2023.

In its demands to the Government of India, KOHUR called for criminal proceedings against COCOMI, investigation into alleged links between valley-based groups and banned insurgent outfits, recovery of looted weapons, judicial probes into the violence, and Separate Administration for the Kuki-Zo people under Article 3 of the Constitution.

The statement concluded by asserting that the Kuki-Zo community seeks constitutional protection within India and accused COCOMI of promoting divisive politics and hostility against central forces deployed in Manipur.

Celebrating the Heart of Healthcare on Nurses Day

EVERY year on May 12th, the world celebrates International Nurses Day. This date marks the birth of Florence Nightingale in 1820. Born in Florence, Italy, to wealthy British parents, William and Frances, she was raised in privilege alongside her sister, Parthenope. Uniquely for a Victorian woman, she was highly educated in mathematics and philosophy by her father. She eventually followed a calling to serve the sick, transforming nursing from a lowly job into a respected profession. During the Crimean War, she became “The Lady with the Lamp” - a title earned because she tirelessly carried a lamp through dark hospital corridors at night to comfort and care for wounded soldiers.

The history of nursing is forever linked to the Crimean War (1853-1856). The conflict began over control of the “Holy Land,” a region centered around Jerusalem that is spiritually significant to Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The war pitted the Russian Empire against an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, Britain, France, and Sardinia. It was a brutal era; of the 650,000 soldiers who died, over 400,000 perished from diseases like cholera rather than battlefield wounds. Nightingale used data and sanitation to prove that clean water and fresh air were just as vital as surgery, significantly reducing the death rate.

The theme for 2026, “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives,” highlights the need for structural change. To have a healthy future, we must support those at the bedside with better education and a voice in healthcare management. Nurses are the backbone of our hospitals, providing emotional strength alongside medical skill. They are hardworking professionals who deserve our deepest appreciation. However, being a nurse also requires a personal commitment to the values Nightingale pioneered: compassion, patience, and a dedication to humanity.

In our own community, particularly at Lamka District Hospital, there is a need for reflection. Many patients complain about harsh attitudes or rude manners from nursing staff. It is vital to remember that a patient in a hospital bed is at their most vulnerable. Nurses should not act like bosses but as caregivers. True nursing is about service, not authority. A patient may forget the exact medicine they were given, but they will never forget whether they were treated with kindness or indifference. Lamka’s nurses must look to Nightingale’s example and rediscover the heart of their calling.

International Nurses Day is both a celebration and a call to action. We must honour the dedicated nurses who go above and beyond while challenging the profession to maintain high standards of conduct. To our nurses: your hands heal, but your spirit comforts. By combining modern skills with the compassionate touch of the Lady with the Lamp, we can ensure our healthcare system remains truly human. When we treat nurses with respect, and they treat patients with dignity, the entire community thrives.

NSCN/GPRN Criticises Nagaland Vehicle Signage Order

KOHIMA, May 11, 2026 — The NSCN/GPRN has strongly criticised the Nagaland Government’s recent notification banning the display of religious or NGO-based slogans, signages, stickers, and other unauthorised identifiers on both private and public vehicles.

In a press statement issued dated 11 May 2026 by the Ministry of Information and Publicity of the Government of the People’s Republic of Nagaland, the group termed the notification as an “insidious” attempt to suppress the visible identity and presence of Christians and churches in public spaces.

The statement alleged that Indian secularism is “a farcical sham” and accused the Indian system of repeatedly overriding the “Special Provisions” of Nagaland under Article 371(A), particularly concerning religion, customs, resources, and language.

According to the NSCN/GPRN, churches and church associations have long displayed names, logos, and signages on their vehicles as part of accepted tradition and community service. It said such displays symbolise identity and service rather than religious coercion or propaganda.

The organisation further claimed that the government order could be misused by Indian security agencies and police personnel as a pretext to harass church leaders, pastors, and Christian institutions.

Reaffirming its stand, the NSCN/GPRN stated that Nagas have the “God-given right” to openly practice and profess their religion in public spaces and not merely within the confines of their homes.

The statement concluded with the declaration that the NSCN/GPRN would “steadfastly defend Nagaland for Christ.”

Manipur to Launch 3rd CSF Vaccination Drive

Imphal, May 11, 2026: The Department of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry, Manipur, has announced the commencement of the 3rd Round Classical Swine Fever (CSF) Vaccination Programme across the state from May 15, 2026, under the Livestock Health and Disease Control Programme (LHDCP).

According to an official press release issued by the Directorate of Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Services, the vaccination drive is being conducted under a centrally sponsored scheme of the Government of India to protect pig populations and strengthen disease control measures in the state.

Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting pigs and has remained a major concern for pig farmers due to heavy economic losses caused by mortality, reduced productivity, and disease outbreaks.

The department stated that the vaccination programme will be carried out following the prescribed guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), Government of India. 

The vaccination will be provided free of cost to eligible pig populations across Manipur.

The department has appealed to all pig farmers and stakeholders to extend full cooperation to field staff during the vaccination campaign and ensure timely vaccination of their pigs. 

Officials emphasized that active participation of farmers is essential to prevent the spread of CSF and safeguard the pig farming sector in the state.

Tiningpham Monsang stated that regular capacity-building programmes, including quarterly training sessions, are conducted to enhance the knowledge, skills and coordination of One Stop Centre personnel. She said interactions with experts and officials from other states help in sharing best practices and effective case-handling methods.

She appreciated the dedication and hard work of OSC staffs who continue to provide services to women despite various challenges and limited resources. She further assured that complicated cases may be referred to the Manipur State Commission for Women for necessary support and guidance, adding that the Commission remains accessible to women from all parts of the state, including remote hill districts.

The Chairperson also encouraged the participants to continue working sincerely for the welfare and protection of women and expressed hope that the programme would strengthen coordination between the Commission and OSCs while promoting awareness activities, inspections, seminars and other outreach initiatives related to women’s welfare.

Delivering the introductory speech, W. Phajatombi Devi, MCS, Member Secretary, MSCW stated that the training programme was organised under the guidance of the National Commission for Women as part of the approved activities for the current financial year. She said the programme focused on strengthening the functioning of One Stop Centres (OSCs) in Manipur for effective rescue, counselling, support and rehabilitation of women facing violence and distress.

W. Phajatombi further mentioned that the training was aimed at improving the capacity and professionalism of OSC personnel to provide better services to women in distress and to demonstrate that Manipur’s OSCs are well-equipped and capable of delivering proper services across districts.

She informed that OSC staffs from nine districts, including Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Kakching, Tamenglong, Noney, Senapati and Chandel attended the programme, while participation from some districts could not be ensured due to the prevailing situation in the state.

As part of the training session, Prof. R.K. Lenin Singh, Professor, Department of Psychiatry, RIMS Hospital delivered a lecture on “Psychological Support and Counselling”; Shri Rajkishore Thiyam, Advocate spoke on “Domestic Violence (DV) Act, POCSO Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and other women related laws”; while Shri L. Ravi Sharma, Manager, Women Help Line delivered a presentation on “Women Related Social Protection Schemes and Support Services under Social Welfare Department”.

The programme concluded with participant feedback and an interaction session.

The Heart of the Home

It is a joy to gather on this beautiful Sunday, May 10th. While the sun climbs higher in the sky, our hearts are turned toward a very specific kind of warmth—the love of a mother. 

We often think of Mothering Sunday as a permanent fixture of the calendar, but the modern Mother’s Day we celebrate today has a poignant history. It wasn’t started by a card company, but by a daughter named Anna Jarvis. On 10 May 1908, held the first official memorial service for her own mother in West Virginia. Her vision wasn’t about commercial gifts; it was about “The Memorial Day for Mothers”. The original theme was simple: “The Most Best Mother Who Ever Lived—Your Own”. She chose the white carnation as the symbol because it represented the purity, faithfulness, and charity of a mother’s love. 

When we look for the “why” behind our gratitude, we find it woven into the very fabric of Scripture. There is a beautiful verse in Proverbs 31:28 that captures the essence of today: “Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her”. This isn’t just about a woman doing chores or being “perfect”. It is about a woman whose character and devotion create a legacy so strong that her family cannot help but stop and acknowledge it. A mother’s influence is often the first glimpse a child gets of God’s unconditional grace. 

Speaking of influence, few people understood the power of a mother better than D.L. Moody. For those who might not know, Dwight L. Moody was one of the most prominent American evangelists of the 19th century. He was a man of humble beginnings who founded schools and churches, shaking two continents with his preaching. Yet, he attributed his success not to his own intellect, but to the woman who raised him in poverty after his father passed away. 

Moody famously said: “All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. I tell you, if the world were full of mothers like mine, they would have to shut up all the prisons.” He saw in his mother a grit and a faith that kept a family of nine together against all odds. He believed that a mother’s prayers were more powerful than a governor’s laws. 

As we reflect on these stories and scriptures, it’s worth asking ourselves: how do we truly honour the mothers in our lives? 

Motherhood is a high calling, but it is also a heavy one. It involves sleepless nights, quiet sacrifices, and a constant “worrying of the heart” that never quite goes away, even when the children are grown. Today isn’t just for those who have biological children; it is for the aunties, the grandmothers, and the “spiritual mothers” who have mentored and sheltered us. 

Encouragement: Don’t let the day pass with just a card or a quick phone call. Take a moment to tell her—or the person who filled that role—exactly which part of her character helped shape yours. 

If today is a difficult day because of loss or a strained relationship, remember that the “Mother Heart” of God is described in the Bible as a source of comfort that never fails. May we all leave here today with a deeper appreciation for the hands that rocked our cradles and the hearts that prayed us into the people we are today.
