evidence: After the ethnic conflict in Manipur, Kuki groups have reportedly been caught in the civil war in adjoining Myanmar. [...] The Kuki National Army (KNA) was one of the 25 extremist groups of the Kuki-Zomi tribes that had agreed to a suspension of operations (SoO) in Manipur a few years ago. In March, the Manipur government withdrew from the SoO agreement with the KNA and the Zomi Revolutionary Army. [...] The Manipur Government and Meitei organisations based in the Imphal Valley hold the Kuki-Zomi extremist groups responsible for the ethnic clashes that have claimed more than 120 lives since May 3. The Kuki-Zomi groups have denied the allegations, insisting the tribal communities have been systematically targeted for ethnic cleansing.
