Govt, Kuki-Zo groups agree on camp relocation
The Indian government and Kuki-Zo insurgent groups have agreed to shut down and move seven camps out of Meitei-majority areas in Manipur.
This step comes after the state government pulled out of a peace deal earlier in 2023.
The exact new locations for these camps will be decided soon.
TL;DR
Agreement highlights
Relocating these camps is meant to ease tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities, who've been in conflict since last May—a crisis that's already displaced thousands and claimed around 250 lives.
The move could also help restore key highways and improve safety in the region, though not everyone supports the agreement.
For young people especially, it's a reminder of how ongoing peace talks can directly impact daily life and hopes for stability.
