FINAL ULTIMATUM

KIM Secretariat, the 14th May, 2026

On the very same day that our Church leaders - emissaries of peace and reconciliation - were brutally murdered in cold blood, and at a time when the Kuki-Zo people are still mourning this irreparable loss, the unlawful detention and hostage situation involving more than 25 Kuki individuals in Senapati District and another 6 Kuki persons at Ireng Naga has become utterly unacceptable, inhuman, and barbaric.

The continued captivity of innocent civilians under such circumstances is not only a gross violation of human dignity and democratic norms, but also a deliberate provocation at a time of immense grief and pain for our people. Such acts expose the complete breakdown of humanity, accountability, and moral responsibility among those involved.

We therefore issue this FINAL and NON-NEGOTIABLE ULTIMATUM that all Kuki hostages detained in Senapati District and Ireng Naga must be released safely, unharmed, and without any condition on or before 5:00 A.M., 15th May 2026.

Failure to ensure their immediate release within the stipulated deadline shall render the concerned CSOs and responsible actors in Senapati District fully and solely responsible for any eventuality arising thereafter. Any escalation of tension, deterioration of law and order, outbreak of unrest, or further heightening of the conflict shall be the direct consequence of their actions and deliberate refusal to act with humanity and responsibility.

The Kuki-Zo people have exercised extraordinary restraint despite relentless persecution, killings, intimidation, and targeted aggression. However, the patience of a grieving people must never be mistaken for weakness. The Kuki-Zo people cannot and will not remain silent while innocent civilians are held hostage, even as our community buries its dead.

The concerned parties are urged to act immediately before the situation reaches an irreversible and uncontrollable stage.
