Peaceful Mass Rally to Expedite Kuki-Zo Political Solution

Thousands of protesters from the Kuki-Zo tribal community marched through the streets in Lamka (Churachandpur), Manipur on 24 June 2024 demanding a political solution to end the year- long ethnic violence in Manipur.

The rally, organized by the Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum (ITLF), started at Lamka Public Ground in the center of town at 11 am and ended at the Wall of Remembrance, a memorial for almost 200 tribals killed during the violence.

Protesters held placards like “No Political Solution, No Peace”, “Union Territory for the Kuki-Zo People Right Now!”, “Forced Union With Meiteis Will Not Last” and “We Want UT Under Article 239A”.
