Today is the 89th consecutive day of ethnic and communal genocide in Manipur. The state has experienced 88 consecutive days & nights of violence, & terror. Men & women have been beaten to death by iron rods and bricks, children have been assaulted by Meira Paibis (seriously, they must be marked as a terror group), women have been raped, homes have been burnt to the ground and those who have managed to escape have done so with only the clothes on their backs.

Meitei groups continue to openly call for violence against and genocide of Kukis. High calibre rifles & guns, bombs, mortars, "stolen" from police armouries are also being used to wage this genocide. The Nagas (a ethnic tribe), Assam Rifles & BSF continue to be the only neutral parties and are the only ones preventing a more devastating escalation. The state govt continues to be a govt of, for, and by Meiteis.

Meanwhile, Biren Singh continues to be Chief Minister, of Manipur (only he acts like he is Chief Mnister of Meiteis), Amit Shah continues to be India's Home Minister, and Narendra Modi continues to be India's Prime Minister. If not for the Assam Rifles & BSF, the situation would be much worse.

India's elected Prime Minister refuses to address Parliament for fear of being questioned, refuses to addressed the nation on Manipur refuses to take steps to end the violence, refuses to appeal for peace. He's too busy giving speeches against the opposition in state election campaigns. So he and his Hindutva agenda can return to power to create & spread violence, while passing laws that imperil people & profit businesses.

Opposition parties are visiting Manipur and doing what BJP leadership should have been doing while BJP (the political party that has formed the govt in Centre & Manipur state) continues to ignore the violence in Manipur and are happy to let it burn. National mainstream media has been supporting Modi while local mainstream media have been supporting the genocide of Kukis.

Meanwhile, instigators are still using social media & local mainstream media to spread fake news to fuel the burning fire in Manipur and to set ethnic & communal fires in the sister states of Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Assam..

Today is the 3rd continuous day of this protest/blockade by Kuki-Zo women. The women have stayed on the highway even at night, singing prayers.

They have good reason to fear & mistrust the convoy of Manipur police/ commandos. Since the beginning of the ethnic & communal violence, the Meitei-majority Manipur police & commandos have allowed members of the violent Meitei groups Meitei Leepun & Arambai Tenggol to wear police/ commando uniforms & to travel on police/ commando vehicles & have provided them with protection so they can commit their barbaric violence on Kukis. This is well-documented and videos of the same have been widely shared on SM. Biren Singh's BJP-led state govt is aware, so are senior police officals. IB also must be aware so must the Modi government, yet they refuse to step in & stop it. This is a clear example of state complicity in the violence against minority Kukis and one more reason to call the ongoing violence a genocide.

Since Manipur police/ commandos have not been neutral and support Meitei in committing ethnic & communal violence, Kukis have lost trust in them and only allow neutral Assam Rifles & BSF into their villages.
