ZSF Rejects Manipur Govt Formation

Lamka, 10 Jan 2026: The Zomi Students' Federation (ZSF), General Headquarters in New Lamka, has issued a strong press release urging Kuki-Zo people to shun participation in Manipur's government formation. The statement, from ZSF's Information & Publicity Wing, decries ongoing Meitei-led aggression, including church burnings and village attacks, rendering coexistence impossible.

ZSF echoes the Kuki-Zo Council's resolution, demanding a separate administration like a Union Territory. It warns that any involvement by MLAs or leaders betrays the collective will amid ethnic strife displacing thousands. "Do not form govt with them," the release asserts in Zomi, stressing unity and no compromise on political aspirations. Contact: 9774125647.

​

This follows similar stances from KZC and ITLF, signalling deepening community consensus against Manipur's fold. ZSF calls for appointments and discussions to strategise ahead, vowing to safeguard Zomi interests. The youth body's voice amplifies calls for territorial separation as the path to peace.

ITLF Endorses Kuki-Zo Separate Admin Demand

Lamka, 10 Jan 2026: The Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF) has firmly endorsed the Kuki-Zo Governing Council's decision, declaring that Kuki-Zo people cannot join Manipur's government following Meitei-led ethnic violence. The press release, signed by ITLF President Pu Haokip and Secretary Pu Thangjolien, highlights over 60,000 displaced, churches destroyed, and widespread devastation from Imphal Valley-based attacks.

The statement reaffirms the 30 December 2025 resolution from the KZC meeting in Churachandpur, which unanimously demanded a separate Union Territory administration. ITLF stresses that no Kuki-Zo MLAs should participate in forming the Manipur government, holding such actions as personal responsibility outside collective will. This comes after the KZC's earlier clarification on 6 January.

​

The endorsement underscores fractured trust after broken ceasefires and relentless targeting of Kuki-Zo areas. ITLF urges unity behind the territorial demand as the sole political solution, vowing no compromise under current realities. Community leaders call for steadfast resolve to protect lives and heritage.

CRPF Seize 11.26 kg Suspected Opium in Senapati, Manipur

Senapati, Jan 7, 2026: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, a joint team of the Special Operations Team (SOT) and D-78 Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) seized a large quantity of suspected opium during routine frisking and checking along National Highway-2.

The operation was carried out at Nepali Khuti at around 4:30 pm on Monday. During the checking, the joint team intercepted a Bolero vehicle bearing registration number AS-01-DS-9963. On thorough inspection, suspected opium was found concealed inside the spare tyre of the vehicle, indicating a deliberate attempt to smuggle contraband.

In the presence of an Executive Magistrate, the recovered substance was weighed and found to be 11.264 kg. The suspected opium, along with the vehicle and mobile phones recovered from the accused, was lawfully seized following due procedure.

The accused was later handed over to Senapati Police Station for further investigation and legal action as per the law.

Security officials said the successful operation highlights the strong coordination, alertness, and commitment of the security forces in curbing drug trafficking and protecting society from the growing menace of narcotics.

Assam Rifles Clarifies Role Amid Misinformation in Manipur

Some inimical elements have made desperate, repeated & failed attempts to question the role, intent and integrity of the Central Security Forces, especially Assam Rifles, working relentlessly towards saving lives and restoration of peace in Manipur from 03 May onwards.

It needs to be understood that due to the complex nature of the situation on the ground in Manipur, occasional differences at tactical level do occur between various security forces. However, all such misunderstandings at the functional level are immediately addressed through the joint mechanism to synergize the efforts for restoration of peace and normalcy in Manipur.

Two instances have emerged over the past 24 hours aimed at maligning Assam Rifles. While in first case, the Assam Rifles Battalion has acted strictly in accordance with the mandate of the Unified Headquarters of strict enforcement of Buffer Zone guidelines towards the aim of preventing violence between the two communities, the second case of Assam Rifles being moved out of an area is not even related to them. An Infantry Battalion of the Army is deployed in the area (ever since the crisis erupted in May) from where the narrative of Assam Rifles being moved out has been made.

Indian Army & Assam Rifles assure the people of Manipur that we will continue to remain firm and resolute in our actions to prevent any attempt that could result in furthering violence in an already volatile atmosphere.

The British Map of Kuki Country (1904)

Historically, the British recognized tribes living in Western Myanmar, Northeast India, and Bangladesh's Chittagong Hill Tracks as Kukis.

Only Bangladesh, India, and Myanmar can cede these lands based on recorded history. The US and UN can determine the formation of a separate Kuki country, grounded in British records and Kuki history.

Kuki country is our rightful political heritage, yet political sovereignty can only be settled in accordance with the 1969 UN declaration. Any further attempts to regain and  restore pre-colonial sovereignty without the  rightful name 'Kuki' will be void and null.

All Tribes within the British Map of Kuki Country are indeed Kukis.

Long live the Kuki Nation!

LONG LIVE KUKILAND 🇮🇳

MSF Condemns US Action in Venezuela, Seeks UN Role

Imphal, Jan 6, 2025: The Manipur Students’ Federation (MSF) has strongly condemned the recent United States military action in Venezuela, calling it a serious violation of international law and urging the United Nations to intervene immediately.

In a press release issued on January 6, the apex student body of Manipur stated that the US operation, which reportedly resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, showed blatant disregard for state sovereignty and international norms. MSF said the action lacked authorisation from the UN Security Council and was not justified as self-defence under the UN Charter.

The federation noted that such military action violates core principles of international law, including non-interference, respect for sovereignty, and the prohibition of the use of force. It added that the UN Secretary-General has described the incident as setting a “dangerous precedent,” with several countries, including Russia, China, France, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico, condemning the US move.

Describing the capture of President Maduro and his wife as “kidnapping,” the MSF raised serious concerns over human rights and the rule of law. It demanded their immediate release, stating that the act undermines Venezuela’s constitutional order and territorial integrity.

The MSF also expressed concern over divisions within the international community on the issue and warned that the incident could destabilise the region and weaken global order. It urged the United Nations to take up the matter urgently and direct the US to respect international law.

Calling for an immediate end to hostilities, the MSF appealed for a peaceful resolution through dialogue. It urged all parties to uphold sovereignty, non-interference and human rights, and called on the international community to work collectively towards lasting peace.

Aizawl, Jan 6, 2026: The Mizo National Front (MNF) has officially withdrawn from the Lairam Legislature Party (LLP), citing political reasons, according to a formal letter submitted to the Governor of Mizoram.

The letter, issued from the MNF General Headquarters in Aizawl and dated January 6, 2026, was addressed to His Excellency, the Governor of Mizoram. It stated that the Lairam Legislature Party (LLP) was formed jointly by MNF and Zoram People’s Movement (ZPM) and was submitted for the creation of the Lai Autonomous District Council (LADC).

The communication was signed by MNF General Secretary R. Rohmingliana, who is also in charge of District Council Affairs, Mizoram. Copies of the letter were forwarded to ZPM Legislature Party leader Pu T. Z. Lunga and the MNF office file.

The development is expected to have political implications for the functioning and formation process of the Lai Autonomous District Council.

Thadou Community International Condemns Bishnupur IED Blasts, Seeks Strong Action

Thadou Community International (TCI) has strongly condemned the IED blasts that occurred on Monday at Saiton-Nganukon in Bishnupur district, Manipur, which left two innocent Meitei civilians injured.

In a media release issued on January 5, TCI described the incident as an act of violent terrorism that has once again created fear among peace-loving communities, particularly the Thadou people, at a time when normalcy was slowly returning due to sustained peace efforts by Thadou Inpi Manipur.

TCI termed the attack a clear attempt to derail reconciliation and promote division in the state. The organisation accused Kuki supremacist extremist elements of carrying out violent activities aimed at disturbing peace and harmony in Manipur.

Reaffirming its commitment to peace, coexistence and the territorial integrity of Manipur, TCI stated that the Thadou community firmly rejects all forms of extremism and violence.

The organisation urged the Government of India to take immediate, firm and impartial action under President’s Rule in Manipur. It stressed that decisive “iron-hand” measures are necessary to neutralise such threats and prevent further escalation of violence.

TCI also cautioned that delays or inaction could force public pushback, which would further destabilise the situation. Prompt central intervention, the statement said, is essential to restore public confidence and ensure lasting peace in the state.

KHIPC disowns two individuals over alleged divisive activities

The Kuki History and Identity Protection Committee (KHIPC) has issued an official clarification dated 5 January 2026, disowning Michael Lamjathang Haokip and James Haokip for what it described as divisive activities against the Kuki community.

According to the statement issued by T. Kamkhosei Haokip, Information and Publicity Secretary, KHIPC, the committee clarified that the two individuals are not members of the Thadou clan, but belong to the Haokip clan, and have been disowned by the Kuki community and expelled from their lands and society due to their alleged malicious intentions and actions.

The committee alleged that the two are currently based in Imphal and are operating with the support of former Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh. It further claimed that they have floated self-styled organisations, including the Thadou Students’ Association (TSA), Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM), Thadou Human Rights Advocacy (THRA), Thadou Youth Union (TYU) and Thadou Community International (TCI), to issue statements and press releases against the Kuki community, thereby spreading misinformation and worsening tensions.

KHIPC reiterated its position that Thadou is a clan and not a tribe, stating that clans such as Haokip, Kipgen, Khongsai, Misao, Changsan, Haolai, Guite, Mate, Lhanghal, Touthang, Kilong, Lhungdim, Lupho, Dimngel, Lunkim, Baite, among others, share common ancestry as descendants of Pu Shongthu/Shongja. The committee called for unity under a single tribal umbrella to promote solidarity and collective progress.

The committee also urged the public, government authorities, and media organisations to exercise caution, verify information carefully, and refrain from amplifying what it termed as misleading narratives. It emphasized that the Kuki community has formally disassociated itself from the two individuals named in the clarification.

WKZIC Appeals to NGT to Reconsider Halt on Songpi-Kanggui Road

The World Kuki-Zo Intellectual Council (WKZIC) has submitted a formal memorandum to the Chairperson of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), New Delhi, seeking reconsideration of the Tribunal’s order dated 23 December 2025, which directed a halt to the construction of the Songpi–Kanggui Local Highway, popularly referred to as the “German Road” or “Tiger Road”. 

In its memorandum dated 6 January 2026, routed through the Deputy Commissioner of Churachandpur, WKZIC stated that the road is not a new commercial project, but an improvement and strengthening of a traditional village-to-village route that has existed for decades and was built and maintained by local hill communities themselves. 

The council emphasized the humanitarian importance of the road, particularly after the 3 May 2023 crisis, which left many Kuki-Zo hill areas geographically isolated. According to WKZIC, the improved road has functioned as a critical lifeline, enabling access to healthcare, transport of food and relief materials, safe movement between villages, and support for humanitarian and rehabilitation services. 

WKZIC further asserted that the initiative involved no commercial intent, mining, industrial activity, or environmental exploitation, and that the land through which the road passes is traditionally and legally owned by indigenous hill communities under customary land systems. The council maintained that the communities are natural custodians of the forests and have long practiced sustainable coexistence with the environment.

While acknowledging the right of any group to approach legal forums, the memorandum noted that the petition leading to the halt order arises within a sensitive ethnic context, and stressed that the road should be viewed strictly as a humanitarian necessity, not as a subject of inter-community competition. 

Reaffirming its commitment to environmental protection and forest preservation, WKZIC requested the Tribunal to revoke or modify the halt order, or alternatively, allow the work to continue under regulated environmental monitoring and community-led sustainability protocols, citing the extraordinary circumstances in Manipur’s hill districts. 

The memorandum was signed by T. Samuel Zou, General Secretary, WKZIC, and Dr. T.S. Haokip, President, WKZIC, expressing hope that the Tribunal would consider the appeal on humanitarian grounds, describing the road as a matter of life, dignity, and essential access for vulnerable hill villagers.

Kuki-Zo Council Reaffirms Demand for Separate Administration

The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) on Tuesday, 6 January 2026, issued an official press statement placing on record the collective political decision of the Kuki-Zo people, as resolved by its apex representative bodies.

According to the press release, signed by Henlianthang Thanglet, Chairman, Kuki-Zo Council, and Thangzamang, General Secretary, Kuki-Zo Council, the KZC Governing Council, comprising all constituent bodies under the Council, convened a Governing Council General Meeting on 30 December 2025 at the VTI Auditorium, Rengkai, Churachandpur. The meeting undertook a comprehensive assessment of the prevailing political, social, and security situation in Manipur.

After extensive deliberations and reflecting the collective will and sentiment of the Kuki-Zo people, the Governing Council unanimously adopted a resolution stating that the Kuki-Zo people can no longer live together with the Meitei community under the present realities. The Council therefore reaffirmed its political demand for a Separate Administration, in the form of a Union Territory under the Constitution of India.

The resolution further stated that the Kuki-Zo people cannot and shall not participate in the formation of the Government of Manipur under the current circumstances.

The KZC Cabinet, in a meeting held on the same day, reaffirmed and endorsed the resolution, asserting that it represents the collective and democratic will of the Kuki-Zo people. The Council reiterated that it would not take part in the formation of the Government of Manipur as long as the present situation persists.

The press statement also clarified that if any individual chooses to participate in the formation of the Government of Manipur, such participation would be entirely at their own responsibility, and the Kuki-Zo Council would not be held accountable in any manner.

According to local sources, a DI pickup truck carrying around 30–40 passengers was on its way uphill to attend the send off ceremony of the bride when the vehicle lost control due to brake failure on a steep road.   The four passengers died on the spot, while many others sustained serious injuries. 

The deceased have been identified as:
