KIM: Rejoinder to NSCN-IM's Rebuttal Statement of 5th June 2026

Kuki Inpi Manipur categorically rejects the NSCN-IM’s rebuttal as an exercise in denial and evasion. Our statement dated 5th June 2026 is not “fabrication”, “misinformation”, or an “opportunistic exploitation of human tragedy”. It is a factual record of documented collusion between NSCN-IM elements and Meitei radical groups, including arms supply, safe havens, and direct participation in attacks on Kuki villages -supported by survivor testimonies and ground evidence. Kuki Inpi respects the right of any people, including the Nagas, to pursue genuine self-determination through honourable and legitimate means. However, we will not tolerate any campaign conducted in the name of self-determination that results in the systematic killing, displacement, and suffering of the Kuki people.

Tamenglong Marks World Environment Day

Tamenglong, June 6, 2026: A World Environment Day programme was held at the Youth Hall of Tamenglong Baptist Church on Saturday, bringing together government officials, church leaders, youths, forest personnel and media representatives to promote environmental conservation and climate awareness.

The event was organised by The Tamenglong Times, The Gaanphiu Mail and the Tamenglong Forest Division in collaboration with the Youth Ministry of Tamenglong Baptist Church. Sponsored by the Directorate of Environment and Climate Change, Government of Manipur, the programme was held under the theme, “Inspire by Nature, For Climate. For Our Future.”

Kachamthai F. Gangmei, MCS, Chief Executive Officer of the Autonomous District Council, Tamenglong, attended the programme as chief guest. Joel Gangmei, Range Forest Officer, was the guest of honour, while Ringbam Kamei, Editor of The Gaanphiu Mail, presided over the function. Rev. Lungdapou Riamei, Pastor of Tamenglong Baptist Church, delivered the exhortation, and Rathailung Gangmei, Youth Director of the church, administered the World Environment Day pledge.

As part of the observance, a ceremonial sapling-planting programme was conducted, led by the chief guest in the presence of youths and community leaders.

Addressing the gathering, Kachamthai F. Gangmei said that humanity bears responsibility for the current condition of the planet and must take collective action to protect the environment. He highlighted the state government's “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” initiative, which aims to encourage school students to become environmentally responsible citizens.

Noting that Tamenglong possesses the largest forest cover in Manipur, Gangmei said that although jhum cultivation has long been a traditional livelihood for hill communities, growing environmental concerns require greater emphasis on horticulture, which offers better income opportunities. Stressing the need for continuous environmental stewardship, he remarked that “every day is Environment Day.”

Guest of honour Joel Gangmei called for the sustainable use of forest resources in a manner that balances ecological protection with economic benefits. He encouraged farmers to adopt cash crops and commended the people of Tamenglong for their responsible approach towards forest conservation.

The programme concluded with a renewed commitment from participants to promote conservation, sustainable livelihoods and climate action across the district.

The Bloodshed in Loibol

THE fragile peace in Manipur has been shattered once again by a brutal act of violence that defies humanity. In the early hours of Friday morning, at around 4 AM, the quiet Kuki village of Loibol Khullen in Kangpokpi District became a scene of terror. Heavily armed militants, allegedly belonging to the NSCN-IM, ZUF (Kamson) and VBIGS, launched a coordinated and unprovoked assault on the sleeping settlement. The attackers did not just burn down seven residential houses, leaving families homeless; they tore apart a family. Three innocent civilians were brutally assassinated: Letkhongam Haokip, his wife Tinmary Haokip, and young Jangminlal Haokip. Seven months pregnant with her unborn child, Mrs. Tinmary Haokip was mercilessly killed in the brutal attack. In the blink of an eye, a father, a son, and a seven-month pregnant mother with her unborn child were stolen from this world, their lives cut short by mindless bloodshed.

The outrage across the region has been instantaneous and profound, as seen in the press notes from local organisations. The Kuki-Zo Council strongly condemned the brutal attack, stating it “deepened fear and insecurity within our community”. Kuki Inpi, South-West Sadar Hills denounced the “unprovoked attack” and questioned the “conspicuous inaction of the Government”. Meanwhile, the Committee on Tribal Unity extended deep condolences, calling the incident a “clear and well-orchestrated battle plan... to rekindle the 1990 Kuki-Naga conflict”. Kuki Inpi Manipur vehemently condemned the barbaric attack, noting that “the deliberate targeting of civilians and the destruction of homes can never be justified”. Joining them in grief, the Hill Tribal Council Moreh has strongly condemned this “barbaric act of violence” and demanded a “thorough and impartial judicial enquiry on the incident”. The collective grief is heavy and demanding answers.

This tragedy forces us to ask difficult questions about those trusted with public safety. Recently, numerous security forces, including specialized units like the Cobra commando battalion, arrived in the region to maintain order. If these forces are on the ground, how could such a heavily armed, coordinated raid take place in broad daylight? The failure to prevent this slaughter points directly to a lack of political will from the state government. By failing to dismantle these lawless elements, the administration appears to be giving armed groups a free pass to commit atrocities. It is simply unacceptable for a state government to watch from the sidelines while its own citizens are terrorized and murdered in their beds.

True safety cannot grow from the barrels of guns, nor can real justice be achieved through endless retaliation. For Manipur to heal and become a vibrant, living society where every community feels secure, all sides must actively shun violence and choose the path of harmony. We must realize that true strength lies in peace, not in bloodshed that leaves children orphaned and parents heartbroken. The state and central governments must act immediately to arrest the perpetrators and protect vulnerable villages. Only by standing together against hatred can we ensure that the tragic loss of a father, son, and a seven-month pregnant mother becomes the final turning point toward a peaceful future for Manipur.

EULOGY TO OUR FALLEN HEROES: Pregnant Woman Among 3 Killed in Loibol Attack

 EULOGY TO OUR FALLEN HEROES

Mr. Letkhongam Haokip (34, S/o Mr. Manglun Haokip and Mrs. Lhingkim), his wife Mrs. Tin Mary Haokip (30, D/o Mr. Thongkam Tuboi and Mrs. Nemjalhing) and Mr. Jangminlal Haokip (34, S/o Mr. Seikhohao Haokip and Mrs. Vahlam ) of Loibol Khullen, Senapati District, Manipur

Cause of Death:
Incinerated to death by NSCN-IM and ZUF (K) militants on 5th June 2026 (Friday)

- In a gore unfurling of genodical mission against the Kuki-Zos, a small village called Loibol Khullen tucked in the Senapati-Kangpokpi border, was egregiously attacked around 4 am on 5th June, where three innocent civilians caustically lost their lives.

- What heightens the bloodcurdling terror is that Mrs. Tin Mary was 7 months pregnant. The victims were benignant people who pursued a peaceful life, while faithfully serving their church and society.

 Their charred and mortally wounded bodies testify the scale of visceral agony they had incurred.

- ⁠Seven houses were reduced to ashes by the armed terrorists.  

- ⁠This attack tallies the jingoistic hatred impinged on the Kuki-Zos where even pregnant women, the aged and children are not absolved.  

- ⁠It imputes how the reconciliatory attempts by our Kuki CSOs and political leaders have been flagrantly rejected by the Naga groups.

- ⁠May the families find solace in the Lord; and may their deaths ignite our senses towards our fight for our ancestral land.

May their souls rest in peace!
