Inside India's ignored conflict: Where is Manipur's path to reconciliation?
Description
Call it India's ignored conflict: it’s been two years since violence erupted in Manipur state, yet 60,000 people remain displaced by intercommunal tensions between the majority Meitei and the Kuki-Zo communities. We ask why mediation efforts have stalled and what's changed since the central government imposed President's rule from Delhi at the start of the year.
We also ask why the prime minister's remained mostly silent on Manipur, why foreign journalists wanting to report there have to apply for special accreditation – which is rarely granted – and we ask our panel to react to our exclusive report filmed by FRANCE 24's local team.
More broadly, what lessons can the rest of India draw, particularly in regards to unrest and insurgencies in other border areas like Kashmir and the mountains near China?
