Thousands in India’s Manipur mark three years since ethnic clashes began

"Three Years of Bloodshed: Tensions Run High in Manipur as Protests Mark Anniversary of Ethnic Violence In a stark reminder of the deep-seated divisions that still plague India's Manipur state, thousands of protesters gathered yesterday to commemorate the third anniversary of the ethnic violence that left scores dead and many more displaced. The unrest, which began in 2020, pitted indigenous groups against members of the Meitei community, highlighting the long-standing tensions between these two groups. As the anniversary of the violence serves as a poignant reminder of the region's troubled past, concerns are growing about the potential for renewed clashes. With the Indian government facing increasing pressure to address the root causes of the conflict, the protests serve as a powerful call to action for those seeking justice and peace in Manipur."
