Kuki Inpi Manipur: Final Ultimatum
KUKI INPI MANIPUR
(Apex body of the Kuki Tribes)
Administrative Centre: Lamka - 795128
FINAL ULTIMATUM
KIM Secretariat, the 14th May, 2026
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.

PRESS RELEASE
14-May-2026
The United Kuki National Army (UKNA) expresses deep sorrow over the tragic demise of the three Kuki Church leaders and extends heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and churches.
It has now become increasingly evident that the NSCN-IM, which began propagating lies and fabricated narratives since the Litan Incident, has been desperately attempting to spread its propaganda across various districts to divert our movement on Separate Administration (UT).
Today, such activities have visibly reached some district as well.
The role of ZUF-Kamson, acting as proxies of the NSCN-IM, has also become instrumental in furthering these divisive and misleading campaigns.
The UKNA has remained silently observant for long, hoping that peace and Christian values would prevail among all communities. However, the wait is now over.
The UKNA makes it unequivocally clear that any untoward incident or consequence arising from now onward shall be the sole responsibility of the NSCN-IM and its proxies.
Issued in the interest of peace and justice.

A REBUTTAL TO THE ZUF (J) GROUP
Oking, the 13th May 2026
The baseless allegations thrown by the WhatsApp warriors of ZUF (J) group from the tiny hill range called Mount Ararat with demonic mindset to add fuel to the fire against innocent NSCN/GPRN is not just a shameful act but an immature and psychopath attitude. The blame game hurled against the GPRN is not a day or two instance, but since 2011 formed as evil spirit in human form.
The unfortunate incident that occurred at Saheibung Peak, 0 point, between Kotzim and Kotlen, Kangpokpi District on 13th May 2026 at around 10:00 am which caused the lives of innocent civilians and religious leaders is very unfortunate and in whatsoever manner the NSCN/GPRN is not related with the tragedy. The self style ZUF (J), a separatist group is further warned to shut their filthy mouth once and for all. Since their formation, the NSCN/GPRN has been observing the motto of ZUF (J) “A day without lie is a day wasted”.
Furthermore, it is a strong warning to Self Style Brigadier Gaijuanglung Kamei to confine in his agricultural activities rather than peeping in developed and advanced family of NSCN/GPRN.

HSA GHQ Condemns Killing of Three Church Leaders
Lamka, May 13, 2026: The Hmar Students’ Association General Headquarters (HSA GHQ) has strongly condemned the killing of three church leaders of the Thadou Baptist Association (TBA) in an ambush that took place on Wednesday in Kangpokpi district.
According to a statement issued by the organisation, the incident reportedly occurred around 10:00 AM between Kotlen and Kotzim villages along the Imphal–Tamenglong highway. The deceased were identified as Rev. Dr. V. Sitlhou, Rev. Kaigoulun, and Pastor Paogoulen. Four other individuals were also reportedly injured in the attack.
Expressing grief over the incident, the HSA GHQ stated that it was “heart-breaking and unacceptable” that violence had claimed the lives of Christian leaders devoted to faith, peace, and humanitarian service. The association also prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured persons.
The organisation extended solidarity to the bereaved families, the Thadou Baptist Association, and the wider Christian community affected by the tragedy.
The HSA GHQ further appealed to all communities and tribes to maintain peace, harmony, and mutual respect, while urging the authorities concerned to ensure justice for the victims at the earliest.
CHIEF MINISTER MANIPUR: MESSAGE | Killing of Kuki Pastors
I vehemently condemn the dastardly terror act of the armed miscreants firing upon a group of civilians this morning between Kotlen and Kotzim areas in Kangpokpi district which resulted in the death of three innocent civilians and injuring four others.
Out of those four injured, three were rushed to Shija Hospitals and Research Institute in Imphal for medical treatment. I along with Deputy Chief Minister Shri Losii Dikho, Home Minister Shri Govindas Konthoujam, MLAs and other concerned officials of the government visited the injured and enquired about their well-being at Shija Hospitals, Imphal West. The State government will bear all medical expenses for the injured and I have directed the authorities to ensure they receive the highest standard of care.
This act of violence is deeply troubling and devastating not only for the families but for the entire state, as it disrupts our path to peace. Our state is gradually moving towards peace, therefore, actions that undermine this collective effort of our people to restore normalcy are unacceptable.
Terrorism and senseless acts of violence that target innocent civilians and threaten peace and humanity have no room in a civilized society. There is no justification in any society for acts of terrorism in all its forms. The entire State and our people stand together against such act of terror and our resolve to fight against terrorism is unshakable.
I am deeply shocked and saddened by the loss of precious lives due to such acts of terrorism. I appeal to all sections of society to uphold peace, show restraint and refrain from emotional responses. Further, I urged people to immediately stop abductions and taking hostage and intimidations on community lines. This can only aggravate the situation. I assure the people that we will use every resource of the State to bring the perpetrators and their handlers to justice.
I pray for the peace of the departed souls and speedy recovery of the injured.

Archbishop of Imphal Appeals for Peace and Calm
Most Reverend
Dr. Linus Neli, D.D.
Archbishop of Imphal
Archbishop’s House
P.B. No. 35, Imphal - 795 001
Manipur, India
13th May 2026
Appeal for Peace and Calm
It is with deep sorrow and a heavy heart that I express my profound grief over the tragic ambush on two vehicles carrying some church leaders of the Thadou Baptist Association (TBA) between Kotzim and Kotlen villages in Kangpokpi district on 13th May 2026. This painful incident, in which innocent lives were lost and several others injured, has caused immense anguish and further deepened the suffering and uncertainty already prevailing in the state. I strongly condemn this heinous act committed against religious leaders who have remained a source of hope and strength during these difficult times of social unrest.
At this time, Manipur continues to witness fresh and sporadic violence in different parts of the State, further deepening the pain faced by its people. Such tragic events remind us of the urgent need to uphold the sanctity of human life and renew our commitment to peace and reconciliation. Violence only deepens wounds, prolongs suffering, and weakens the bonds that unite communities. The people of Manipur have already endured immense pain, loss and suffering, and there is a growing longing everywhere for healing, understanding, and a return to normalcy.
I therefore make a sincere and humble appeal to all concerned to refrain from every form of violence and retaliation, and instead embrace dialogue, forgiveness, reconciliation, restraint, and peaceful coexistence. I also urge the authorities and responsible institutions to act with wisdom, fairness, and sensitivity so that peace with justice may prevail and confidence among communities may be restored.
In this dark hour, I express my prayerful solidarity with the bereaved families. We turn to God, the source of all compassion and mercy. We commend the souls of the innocent victims into his loving embrace.
May the God of peace comfort the grieving, heal the wounded, forgive the wrong, protect all communities, and bless Manipur with reconciliation, understanding, and lasting peace.
In Christ,
+Dr. Linus Neli, D.D., JCD

UZO Pays Tribute to Slain Pastors at KIM Office
Lamka, May 14, 2026: Leaders of the United Zou Organisation (UZO-GHQ), the apex body of the Zou tribe, paid tribute and honour to the departed souls of the May 13 ambush victims at the Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) Office, Bijang. The victims were allegedly ambushed between Kotzim and Kotlen by suspected cadres of the Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF-Kamson).
The deceased were identified as Rev. Dr. Vumthang Sitlhou, President of the Thadou Baptist Association India (TBAI) from Taloulong Village under Saitu-Gamphazol Sub-Division, Kangpokpi District; Rev. Kaigoulun Lhouvum, Finance Secretary of TBAI from Keithelmanbi Military Colony, Champhai Sub-Division, Kangpokpi District; and Pastor Paogoulen Sitlhou, Superintendent Pastor of IT Road/Twilang Area, TBAI, also from Keithelmanbi Military Colony.
Expressing deep grief and sorrow, UZO President Thangzamang conveyed condolences to the bereaved families and those injured in the attack. “We, the Zou people, also share your pain,” he stated, while praying for God’s comfort and strength upon the affected families.
Drawing inspiration from Psalm 46, he quoted, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble,” and encouraged KIM leaders and Kuki civil society organisations to continue serving the people with dedication and faith. He urged the leaders to administer with honour to God and strive together for the betterment of our land and people.
As a gesture of solidarity and appreciation, the UZO leaders also provided milk and sugar to Kuki CSO leaders who have been working tirelessly for the welfare of the people.
Manipur Ambush: A Tragic Blow to Peace and Reconciliation
THE heart of Manipur has been heavy with grief
today following a truly cowardly and barbaric ambush between the Kotzim and
Kotlen areas. This Tuesday morning, what should have been a routine journey for
a group of Kuki-Zo Church leaders turned into a scene of absolute horror. Three
innocent men “Rev. V. Sitlhou, Rev. Kaigoulen, and Pastor Paogoulen” lost their
lives in a spray of bullets, while others were left fighting for their lives in
hospital. Since the outbreak of communal violence in May 2023, the region has
seen much pain, but the deliberate targeting of religious leaders who served as
beacons of hope marks a dark and notorious low point for the state.
The response from regional leaders has been swift and filled with anguish. Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhom expressed deep sadness over the brutal killing, while Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio condemned the barbaric violence, stating it has no place in any civilized society. Closer to home, Manipur Chief Minister Y. Khemchand Singh described it as a dastardly terror act that disrupts the state’s gradual path to peace. After visiting the injured at Shija Hospital alongside Deputy CM Losii Dikho and Home Minister Govindas Konthoujam, the CM vowed that the state’s resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and urged an immediate end to abductions and communal intimidation.
What makes this tragedy even more bitter is the
character of those lost. Rev. V. Sitlhou was a dedicated peacemaker who had
recently worked with the Nagaland Joint Christian Forum to foster
reconciliation. In a formal statement from the Imphal Archbishop’s House, Dr.
Linus Neli expressed profound grief, noting that these leaders remained a
source of strength during social unrest. In his appeal for peace, the
Archbishop reminded us that “violence only deepens wounds, prolongs suffering,
and weakens the bonds that unite communities”. As the Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM)
and other civil society groups call for justice and an emergency shutdown, the
Archbishop’s call for dialogue and forgiveness serves as a vital
counter-narrative to the cycle of retaliation. “May the God of peace comfort
the grieving, heal the wounded, forgive the wrongs and bless Manipur with
reconciliation, understanding, and lasting peace,” stated Archbishop Linus Neli.
This tragedy teaches us a hard truth: peace
cannot be built on a foundation of violence and killings. When those who carry
the message of harmony are silenced by guns, the entire community loses its
way. To honour the memory of these pastors, all sides must resist the urge for
further retaliation and instead recommit to the sanctity of human life. Real
justice will not just be found in arrests, but in ensuring that no more
families have to bury their loved ones in a conflict that has already taken far
too much. It is only through restraint and unity that Manipur can hope to find
its path out of the darkness.

Muankhanlian fired Zomi FC into the final
Khokon United face Immortal Sophia in today's second semi-final match
📃 Flashpoints:
> Zomi FC reached first Hmar Martyrs' Trophy final
> Khokon United are still flawless in defence with zero goals concede, also boasting best attacking data of 12 goals
> Immortal Sophia beat UKB and Dynamic FA on the road to the semis

⭕May 14, 2026 (Thursday)
📝 By : Seiminlun Kipgen
Zomi FC created history as they reached their first final of Hmar Martyrs' Trophy as second-half goal by Muankhanlian Tunglut secured them a 1-0 victory against hosts Saikawt YC in yesterday's crunch semi-final battle of the ongoing 19th Hmar Martyrs' Trophy 2026 played in front of a strong crowd at Saikawt Playground, Churachandpur.
After a breathtaking but goalless first-half, Muankhanlian Tunglut opened the deadlock in the 50th minute with a powerful header connecting a perfect cross from Pausonthang after midfielder Henry Thanglalmuan fed the winger down the right flank.
Saikawt YC put utmost effort to claw back into the game but they were unable to penetrate through the defensive wall of Zomi FC and the 1-0 scoreline remained intact until fulltime as Zomi FC earned their first Hmar Martyrs' Trophy final.
In today's second semi-final match, star-studded side Khokon United will be taking on surprise-package Immortal Sophia with eyes set for a 16th May final with Zomi FC.
Khokon United were among those considered favourites before the start of the tournament. As expected, they had a stellar group-stage campaign as they emerged pool champions. However, after group-stage, they required a back-to-back 1-0 win that put them through to the semi-final as they claimed 1-0 wins against Tuiring YC and PLL Academy in the knock-out round and the quarter-final respectively. Meanwhile, Immortal Sophia had a fairly-tale campaign as they marched through to the semi-final. After an impressive group-stage, they went on to trigger an upset against UKB in the knock-out round on penalties and in the quarter-final, they clinched another headline-grabbing 2-0 win against Dynamic FA. So, after two statement wins in a row, they will be in high mood to claim another big win when they face Khokon United today.
The winners of today's second semi-final face Zomi FC in the final on 16th May, 2026 (Saturday).

𝐅𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐌𝐄: Pauminlun (44) | Tangnuam
Mr. Pauminlun (44), the eldest among six siblings — two brothers and four sisters — was born in 1982 at Suangnal village. He was known as a kind-hearted, hardworking, humble, and peace-loving person who deeply cared for his family, relatives, and community. 🤍✨
For the past few years, he had been battling illness while undergoing medical treatment and care. While his loved ones still hoped and prayed for his recovery, he sadly breathed his last on the night of 13/05/2026 around 11:30 PM, leaving behind his beloved family and relatives in deep grief and sorrow. 😢🕯️
We extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers to the bereaved family during this painful time. May God grant strength, comfort, and peace to all the loved ones he left behind. 🙏✨
Rest in Peace, Pauminlun. 🕊️💐

ZCLF Condemns Killing of Thadou Religious Leaders
Office of the
ZOU CHRISTIAN LEADERS FORUM
Zomi Colony, Churachandpur, Manipur- 795128
CONDEMNATION
May 13, 2026
The Zou Christian Leaders Forum (ZCLF) strongly condemns the brutal killing and violence committed by militants on 13 May 2026 near Kotlen against Thadou religious leaders, namely Rev. Vumthang Sitihou, Former General Secretary of the Manipur Baptist Convention (MBC), Pastor Paogou, and Pastor Kaigoulien, as well as the injuring of three others.
This cold-blooded murder of unarmed and peace-loving religious leaders is deeply distressing and devastating, not only to the bereaved families but also to the entire state, as it seriously undermines our collective pursuit of peace and reconciliation.
We convey our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, relatives, and friends of Rev. Vumthang Sitihou, Former General Secretary of the Manipur Baptist Convention (MBC), Pastor Paogou, and Pastor Kaigoulien. We also pray for the speedy and complete recovery of the three injured persons.
We appeal to all sections of society to uphold peace, exercise restraint, and refrain from any emotional or retaliatory response. We urge the people of Manipur to remain calm, stand together, and work in unity toward peace and harmony as Christians and as fellow human beings.
May God’s peace prevail over hatred and violence, bringing comfort to the grieving and hope and healing to all affected.
In Christian solidarity,
(Rev. Dr. Hangpi Manlun)
Chairman
(Rev. Khup Do Khen)
Secretary
