Challenges Posed by Open Border with Myanmar: A Closer Look at Manipur
Imphal: T he porous border with Myanmar continues to pose significant challenges for India's Northeastern states, particularly Manipur. Recent outbreaks of violence in Manipur have been directly linked to the open border, facilitating illegal drug trafficking and arms smuggling, thereby heightening security concerns for Indian authorities. The unrestricted border access also allows numerous militant groups from the region to infiltrate Indian territory at will, exacerbating the security situation. During the Manipur violence, hundreds of militants reportedly crossed into Indian territory through the open border, causing extensive damage. Moreover, ongoing political and military turmoil in Myanmar has led to thousands of people entering Indian territory through the open border in the past three years. Around 50,000 Myanmar nationals have sought refuge in Mizoram and Manipur, raising serious demographic and security concerns. Manipur authorities have identified over 5,000 illegal intruders from Myanmar, with reports indicating the establishment of more than 996 illegal villages by these intruders. In response to these grave issues and in consideration of national security, the central government took the decision in February 2024 to fence the Myanmar border and revoke the Free Movement Regime (FMR) with Myanmar. However, this decision has faced resistance from certain organizations in Manipur, Mizoram, and Nagaland. On May 16, the Kuki Inpi Tengnoupal District (KIT) and the Kuki Students Organisation (KSO) Tengnoupal District in Manipur organized a massive rally denouncing the government's decision. Similarly, the Zo Reunification Organisation (Zoro) staged rallies in Mizoram, protesting against the dismantling of the FMR and the implementation of border fencing. The protests are rooted in concerns about the cultural and social ties among ethnic communities that would be disrupted by the policy changes. Zoro, in particular, advocates for the reunification of Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi tribes and opposes the border fencing and FMR abrogation. Church bodies in Nagaland, Mizoram, and hill areas of Manipur are reportedly behind these protests, with Zoro being influenced by Christian leaders and advocating against the border policy changes. Sources suggest that Zoro is working towards establishing a greater Christian administrative region encompassing Chin-Kuki-Mizo-Zomi tribes of Manipur, Mizoram, and Myanmar. Opposition to the fencing and FMR abrogation has also been voiced by Mizoram and Nagaland assemblies, civil society organizations, and student bodies. Mizoram, in particular, is housing over 34,000 Chin refugees following the military coup in Myanmar, and there is reluctance to deport them due to shared ethnic ties. These protests underscore deep-seated concerns and opposition to the government's border policy. As tensions rise, authorities must address the grievances of affected communities and navigate the complex socio-political landscape of the region.

Manipur violence accounted for 97% of displacements in South Asia in 2023: IDMC report
NEW DELHI: Conflict and violence triggered 69,000 displacements in South Asia in 2023, with Manipur violence alone accounting for 67,000, according to a new report. The report by the Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) termed it the highest number of displacements triggered by conflict and violence in India since 2018. On May 3, 2023, a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in Manipur's hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. The march led to ethnic clashes between the Meitei and the Kuki communities, ultimately claiming more than 200 lives. The Manipur High Court had in March last year called for recommendations to be sent to the central government to recognise the Meitei community as a scheduled tribe, an official status designed to protect minorities from marginalisation. The call was met with resistance from other local scheduled tribes, including the Kukis. Land disputes were also an underlying driver of the tensions. Over half million displaced from natural disasters and violent conflict in India in 2023: IDMC report Protests turned violent in Churachandpur district on May 3, and the violence spread to other districts, including Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, Tengnupal, and Kangpokipi, triggering around 67,000 displacements, the report said. More than three-quarters of the movements took place within Manipur, but almost a fifth were to the neighbouring state of Mizoram and smaller numbers to Nagaland and Assam. As the violence escalated, the central government imposed curfews, shut down the internet, and dispatched security forces. One year since Manipur violence, Meitei-Kuki couples forced to live apart, contemplate uncertain tomorrow It also set up relief camps and established a peace committee for Manipur, chaired by the state governor, but the initiative was hampered by disagreements about its composition. All of those displaced by the violence were still living in internal displacement at the end of the year, the IDMC noted.

Charred memories of Manipur's ethnic conflict
CHENNAI: Dots, dashes, demarcations. These arbitrary thin lines that crisscross ocean and land, arguably teach us our first idea of global boundaries, during dreary geography classes. Dots, dashes, us vs them. Boundaries leak beyond maps, and spill into the world, brewing hateful divides. Hurtling past the boundaries of a map, Thangboilal Vaiphei and Andrew, like many citizens from Manipur, cross through National Highway 102B, to reach Churachandpur. The wobbly road of 102B is the only way for the Kuki-Zomi to enter Manipur, as the ethnic conflict between two communities Meitei and Kukis-Zomi continues...this journey includes a 20 hours road journey and a few hours in a flight, writes Manisha Mondal, a journalist, whose work was among the 100-odd images exhibited in ICSA on Saturday. Visuals of the two students in a shaky Tata Sumo braving the path, Andrew checking maps on his phone, and Vaiphei slurping up noodles are scattered across the walls. Capturing a burning, conflict-ridden Manipur, the exhibition features works by Manisha, journalists Rokibuz Zaman and Greeshma Kuthar, and photojournalist Aakash Hassan. A year after the ethnic conflict began, organisations in Tamil Nadu, including the Indian Christian Womens Movement, Dravidar Kazhagam, Poovulangin Nanbargal, All India Democratic Womens Association, and Neelam Cultural Centre stand in solidarity with Manipur and call for an end to the conflict. Official record says 223 people died, ,more than 60,000 people have been displaced, both internally and in other states whether Assam or Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, or Delhi or Calcutta, says Makepeace Sitlhou, journalist. According to writer-journalist Jeyarani, The country is divided into pieces based on caste and religion. The constitution that holds us together, should be the basis of all the decisions we make. Dr BR Ambedkar gave us the constitution but we are entering a situation where democracy lives on in the pages but not in society. The violence that Manipur is feeling should disturb the whole society. As Dr Aiswarya Rao,organiser,says, each visual in the exhibition delves into different themes, following the conditions of women, displacement, death, grief, andviolence. As the war continues, she underscores the importance of solidarity. Refugees and riots A woman praying with her hands clenched, another weaving her way through the forest to provide supplies, hundreds of women on the street in Imphal protesting the killing of two Meitei students each shot is a chilling glimpse of a state wreaked by violence, Protestors, agitators, instigators their role in this conflict is defined by who you ask their loved ones or the police, the exhibition reminds. In the US last year, Makepeace worked on an article delving into illegal migrants, crossing borders, and dangerous dunki routes. One interview lingered in her mind about a Punjabi man and his brothers who relocated to America after the Sikh massacre. After the 9/11 attacks, one of the mans brothers was first to be killed in a hate crime. A white man shot him at a gas station and said death to towel heads. It is so hard to digest to leaving your land and state-sponsored violence and then come to a land where you are targeted: What sense of security would you carry? Until we have a government that is willing to take accountability, we can only dream of a land that is safe and secure. On internal displacement, Greeshma shares her experience of reporting on the ground in Manipur and speaking to displaced communities in Chennai, We have to speak about this (issue) now because we dont know what will happen post the election. Because we have not spoken about this issue, it has dragged on for so long. In May (2023), it was a riot, how did it become a civil war?We need to think about how this happened. If we dont question anything, this will happen. Suganthi from AIDWA, A Arulmozhi, and Mathivadhani from Dravidar Kazhagam, advocate Papa Mohan, Rev Jacqueline Jothi from Church of South India and Vetriselvan, Poovulagin Nanbargal, were present. According to a release, the organisations call for the government to ensure that the ideologically and politically motivated violence is stopped and that the laws of the land are upheld. We ask that all victims and their families, be it Kuki or Meitei, be adequately compensated and cared for. We call for perpetrators of all crimes committed during the violence to be brought to book. From the rap by Sollisai Sistahs, and notes from Dhamma the Band to a satirical play, each performance echoed the thoughts of solidarity. The air was filled with the yearning for change, beyond dots, dashes, and demarcations.

Spike in Illegal Immigration: Manipur Detects Over 2,480 Entrants in 2023
Spike in Illegal Immigration: Manipur Detects Over 2,480 Entrants in 2023 Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Sunday said that a state Cabinet sub-committee had detected 2,480 illegal immigrants in 2023 but the campaign was cut short after violence broke out on May 3 last year. Addressing a press conference Singh said concerned with increasing deforestation and setting up of new villages by illegal immigrants, a Cabinet sub-committee was formed in February 2023 after a cabinet meeting attended by two Kuki ministers Letpao Haokip and Nemcha Kipgen. Haokip was made the head of the sub-committee to identify illegal immigrants. ''We are not biased against anybody but against the illegal immigrants. It was a decision taken by the state cabinet,'' Singh said. ''Biometrics were taken in ten villages of Chandel during which 1,165 illegal immigrants were found, 1,147 illegal immigrants were found in 13 villages of Tengnoupal district, 154 illegal immigrants in Churachandpur and rest were found in Kamjong district,'' Singh said. These figures are not inclusive of the additional 5,457 illegal immigrants who entered Kamjong district, Singh said, adding biometrics of 5,173 people have been taken while 329 have returned back voluntarily after situation improved in the neighbouring country. ''The detection of illegal immigrants was not limited to one community but was to cover the entire state of Manipur. They were found after visiting villages,'' Singh said. ''The campaign for identifying illegal immigrants was, however, cut short just after a month it started and had to be stopped after violence broke out on May 3,'' Singh said. More than 219 people were killed and thousands displaced from homes after ethnic clashes broke out on May 3 last year, when a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipurs population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley. Tribals Nagas and Kukis constitute little over 40 per cent and reside in the hill districts.
