DIMAPUR, DECEMBER 29 (MExN): The Kuki-Zo Council has strongly condemned the ongoing attacks on Kuki-Zo communities, particularly the recent violent incidents in the Saibol-Twichin area. These attacks, reportedly carried out by Valley-Based Insurgent Groups (VBIGs) demonstrate the continuous, insidious efforts to destabilize and disenfranchise the Kuki-Zo people, a press release issued by the KZC alleged.
It also expressed outrage over what it alleged as the calculated and violent attempts to undermine the safety, security, and dignity of the Kuki-Zo community, particularly during the Christmas season.
Describing the attacks as a blatant disregard for the lives and well-being of the Kuki-Zo people, it highlighted the religious oppression faced by the minority Christian community. The coordinated and relentless attacks by the combined force of VBIGs, Arambai Tenggol, Meitei Police commandos against the Kuki-Zo people demands fitting response from the central government, it, therefore, demanded.
The KZC also voiced grave concern over the partiality displayed by the Central security forces deployed in the region. It expressed alarm at what they describe as an apparent bias, as the Central forces seem to focus their operations within Kuki-Zo areas, intensifying security measures against the very victims of these violent attacks.
