Nemcha Kipgen Must Step Down Immediately From Manipur Deputy CM Post
By:~ Sasang Haokip
We, the Kuki people, aren't fighting for your deputy chief minister seat in the Manipur government; we're fighting for our rights, dignity, and freedom. The violence, killings, and suffering are about land, identity, and survival - not about occupying a Deputy CM post in Manipur. Nemcha Kipgen's position in the government should reflect the aspirations of the Kuki community. If it doesn't, it's time for her to reconsider her role. The struggle of the Kuki people demands more than symbolic representation.
If Nemcha Kipgen doesn't step down, it may precipitate further disunity and discord within our society. The Kuki community's concerns and aspirations need genuine address, and her continued presence in the post might impede the healing and reconciliation process. The focus should be on the community's well-being, not individual positions.
We have been asserting our presence in Kukiland since May 3, 2023 - this is our land. The distinction between Meitei and Kuki is clear; Kangpokpi is Kukiland. It's time to acknowledge this reality.

Poppy Plantation in Senapati Destroyed
Senapati, Feb 13, 2026: In a major anti-drug operation, security forces along with an Executive Magistrate destroyed approximately six acres of illegal poppy plantation at Ngatan Hill range under Senapati Police Station and adjoining areas of Kangpokpi district on Thursday.
According to official sources, the joint team carried out the destruction drive as part of ongoing efforts to curb illegal cultivation of poppy in the hill districts. The plantation, spread across nearly six acres, was completely uprooted and destroyed during the operation.
During the drive, eight makeshift huts set up at the plantation sites were also burnt and dismantled. Security personnel further destroyed several items found at the spot, including three bags of fertilizers, fifteen bags of salt, four bundles of irrigation pipes, and four spray pumps used for cultivation.
One individual identified as Gun Bahadur Rai (59), a resident of Thulochour/Tapon Village, Irang Part II, T. Waichong, was found present at the poppy field during the operation and has been arrested. He has been taken into custody for further legal proceedings.
Authorities stated that such operations will continue in order to eliminate illegal poppy cultivation and prevent drug-related activities in the region.

UNC Condemns Violence Ahead of Lui-Ngai-Ni 2026
Public Statement
February 13, 2026
The declared position of the Nagas in Manipur on the ethnic conflict that had engulfed the state of Manipur since 3rd May, 2023 has been "neutrality," without fear or favour of either the Meiteis and the Kuki-Zo-Hmar, in the interest of peace and restoration of normalcy. This stands unchanged.
On the eve of Lui-Ngai-Ni 2026, the UNC is aggrieved by the outbreak of violence attack on one Mr. Starling Shimray of Shakarphung by a group of Kuki youths on the evening of 7th February, 2026, which triggered a wave of unrest in Litan, Ukhrul, Manipur, resulting in ugly violence, burning of houses and loss of properties belonging to both the Naga and Kuki communities and its unresolved continuation to this day. We also take strong exception to the act of violence, attack, and torching of the house of Mr. Azan Abonmai in the wee hours of February 9, 2026, at K. Lungwiram village. The UNC is mindful of the current situation in Litan and K. Lungwiram, which must be resolved and not allowed to further spread, fester and worsen.
We are concerned about the open presence of Kuki militants in full uniforms and sophisticated arms who have fired volleys of bullets creating fear and terror under the very nose of the Indian Security forces who are also accused of facilitating the Kuki armed arsonists in burning down Naga houses and properties at Litan.
Both the instant incidents boils down to the issue of land ownership. UNC is committed to long term solution for peace and justice and will continue to explore and engage for resolution. However, we will not allow our history, culture, land, and identity to be threatened. We will not compromise on our rights and interests and any further aggression will have to be met with resolute actions. We appeal to all parties to respect the rights and dignity of the Nagas and to work together with us towards peaceful coexistence with mutual respect.
In the midst of the vitiated environment highlighted above, the Lui-Ngai-Ni Seed Sowing festival of the Nagas in Manipur will be celebrated at Ukhrul on the 15th of February, 2026. This festival is not mere festivities and merry making. Lui-Ngai-Ni will renew the sowing of the seeds of fraternity and love within the Naga family and of mutual respect with their neighbors. The festival will once again reaffirm the wisdom filled values of our forefathers as the Nagas commit themselves to changes of improvement, progress and development in their collective lives and usher in an era of harmony, prosperity and good will. It will be observed and celebrated with due solemnity and prayerful minds.
On the eve of this festival, we seek the goodwill, understanding and participation of all for a meaningful and restorative celebration of Lui-Ngai-Ni 2026.

Nagaland: Regarding the Incident at Maova Village
OFFICE OF THE
MAOVA VILLAGE COUNCIL
P.O.: MEDZIPHEMA TOWN – 797106
DIST. CHUMOUKEDIMA: NAGALAND
PRESS STATEMENT
Regarding the Incident at Maova Village
Today, Maova Village witnessed a calculated and unjustifiable act of collective violence. What began as a private land dispute between involving individuals from Maova and Mr. Sobu Rio and the Chathe Prayer Centre was deliberately escalated into a large scale attack against an entire village. Innocent villagers who had no connection to the dispute were made to suffer.
While the authorities have brought the situation under control, the damage inflicted upon Maova Village is severe and unacceptable.
On 13 February 2026 at around 10 AM, nearly one thousand youths mobilized under the banner of the Chakroma Youth Organization descended upon Maova Village. They vandalized and burned private properties, homes, shops, and vehicles. This was organized. This was coordinated. This was transported from outside. This was not a spontaneous reaction.
The issue was originally presented by the Chakro Public Organization in its letter alleging illegal encroachment on land belonging to Chathe Prayer Centre and Mr. Sobu Rio. The Maova Village Council had clearly responded that the land dispute was between individuals and that proper customary and administrative mechanisms were available. Despite this, the matter was inflamed instead of resolved.
Land disputes are common in Nagaland. They are settled through dialogue, village councils, customary law, and district administration. Never has such a dispute justified mobilizing thousands to attack a village. Turning a private disagreement into a communal confrontation is reckless and dangerous.
The following damages have been documented:
1 Dumper Truck burned
3 Boleros damaged
1 Wagon R damaged
4 Bikes damaged
1 Santro car burnt
1 council guest house burnt
5 Scooties damaged
17 roadside shops burned
3 private homes damaged
1 Community Hall burned
20 Mobile phones destroyed
1 Council office burnt
2 Gypsies damaged
1 JCB damaged
1 Maruti 800 damaged
1 Swift damaged
1 Council youth office burnt
50 chairs of the Village Council destroyed
These were not properties of the disputing individuals. These were the homes, livelihoods, and assets of ordinary villagers.
The attempt to drag the name of Chathe Prayer Centre into this issue and project moral authority while violence was mobilized on the ground raises serious questions. A place associated with prayer and faith should not become a pretext for confrontation or a shield for escalation. Sacred institutions must not be used, directly or indirectly, to inflame disputes.
The Chakro Public Organization, earlier known as Chakroma Union, was founded with the involvement of Subedar Khupjalet Kuki as its first Chairman. That history reflects shared roots and past cooperation between communities. It is therefore even more troubling that such an organization allowed itself to become the platform for mass mobilization that resulted in destruction.
Have they delivered justice by sending mobs into Maova? Have they upheld law by sanctioning numbers over process? Have they strengthened peace by destroying homes and shops? The answer is clear.
Maova Village Council has lodged FIRs against all responsible parties and demands an impartial and time bound investigation, identification and prosecution of those who organized and led the attack, full compensation for all damaged properties, and continued security presence to prevent further intimidation.
Private disputes must not be weaponized. Organizations must not act as parallel enforcement bodies. No group has the authority to descend upon another village and impose punishment.
Let justice prevail through law. Let accountability be real. Let peace be restored through truth and fairness.

Litan Sareikhong Village Alleges NSCN-IM in Arson
LITAN, Feb 12, 2026: The Litan Sareikhong Village Authority has issued an urgent appeal to the Government of India and the Government of Manipur, seeking immediate intervention over the continued burning of Kuki houses in Litan Sareikhong village.
In a press release dated February 12, 2026, the Village Authority expressed deep concern and anguish over what it described as repeated incidents of arson in the area over the past few days. According to the statement, a large number of Kuki homes have been reduced to ashes, leaving many families displaced and living in fear.
The Authority alleged that the incidents were carried out by Tangkhul groups backed by NSCN-IM elements. It further claimed that disturbing videos have surfaced showing not only armed individuals but also some civilians, including women, taking part in the burning of houses.
The statement also alleged that NSCN-IM cadres have taken control of certain parts of Litan Sareikhong village and have set up positions and bunkers, including in sensitive civilian areas such as Sunday School campuses. The Village Authority said such developments have created an atmosphere of intimidation and insecurity among innocent villagers.
Expressing disappointment over what it termed as inaction and a selective response by central and state security forces, the Authority stated that Kuki villagers were reportedly being prevented from entering or returning to the village, while those responsible for the burning of houses continued their actions unchecked. It said this has deepened mistrust and allowed the destruction to escalate.
The Village Authority has called for the immediate deployment of neutral and impartial security forces to restore law and order, prevent further violence, and ensure the safety and rights of all civilians. It also demanded an independent and transparent inquiry to establish the facts and hold those responsible accountable.
The Authority stated that the present crisis appears to have grown from an incident that was never expected to escalate to such a devastating level. It warned that continued inaction would only worsen tensions and prolong the suffering of innocent people.
It also appeals to the authorities to act swiftly and responsibly in the interest of peace, justice, and human dignity.

Aw Lamka, Let Us Choose Peace: Pupu Zou
Once known as a peaceful town, Lamka has now been overshadowed by conflicts and rising tensions. On February 12, 2026, trouble gripped the town during the day and continued throughout the night. Tension and fear left the people of Lamka sleepless.
Amid these internal divisions and painful unrest, a beautiful song was born — penned by Pupu Zou — as a heartfelt call for peace and unity.
*************
Aw Lamka, Let Us Choose Peace
(Verse 1)
Aw Lamka, where brothers reside,
Under the same sky, side by side,
Different tongues, different names,
Yet one shared home, one shared flame.
The hills remember every tear,
The roads still echo pain and fear,
But in our hearts a truth remains—
We lose the most when hatred reigns.
(Chorus)
Aw Lamka, hear our plea tonight,
Let us not turn to rage and fight,
Sit together, speak what’s true,
Peace begins with me and you.
Hand in hand, we’ll find a way,
Let love be louder than dismay,
Aw Lamka, brothers we remain,
Let dialogue outshine the pain.
(Verse 2)
We’ve walked through storms, we’ve seen the fire,
Watched hope grow dim, then rise up higher,
No stone can heal, no blade can mend,
But words can bridge and hearts can bend.
Your sorrow is my sorrow too,
Your dreams are mine, forever true,
The land we love, the air we share,
Calls us now to choose repair.
(Chorus)
Aw Lamka, hear our plea tonight,
Let us not turn to rage and fight,
Sit together, speak what’s true,
Peace begins with me and you.
Hand in hand, we’ll find a way,
Let love be louder than dismay,
Aw Lamka, brothers we remain,
Let dialogue outshine the pain.
(Bridge)
No more silence, no more blame,
We are family, not a name,
Circle round and light the flame,
Peace and justice, both the same.
If we listen, we will see,
There’s strength in our unity.
(Final Chorus)
Aw Lamka, rise above the cries,
Let understanding be our guide,
We’ll sit and talk, we’ll make it right,
Turning darkness into light.
From this day, let hearts proclaim,
We are one despite our pain,
Aw Lamka, brothers we remain—
In peace, in hope, in love again.

𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒊,
The 𝐊𝐮𝐤𝐢 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬' 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐢 & 𝐍𝐂𝐑, respectfully submits this 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐦 to place on record the grave concerns of the Kuki-Zo people regarding the recent installation of what has been described as a "𝑷𝒐𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕" in Manipur. We state unequivocally that 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐮𝐤𝐢-𝐙𝐨
𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞.The formation of such an administration while our people remain displaced, traumatised, and politically alienated is unacceptable and fails to reflect ground realities.
At the outset, we state clearly that the Kuki-Zo people no longer consider themselves part of the political and administrative framework of Manipur. The sustained violence inflicted upon our community has irreversibly broken trust and created a political rupture that cannot be ignored. Projecting peace and normalcy without acknowledging this reality misrepresents our lived experience. The crisis is not about accommodation within Manipur, but about a breakdown that has made continued coexistence under the same state structure untenable. For more than 32 months, the Kuki-Zo community has lived through sustained and targeted violence carried out by armed Meitei extremist groups allegedly operating with state support. Kuki-Zo women have been subjected to extreme sexual humiliation and violence. Kuki-Zo civilians have been killed in brutal ways. Over 300 Kuki-Zo churches have been destroyed, more than 200 Kuki-Zo villages have been burned, and over 40,000 Kuki-Zo people continue to live as displaced persons, deprived of homes, safety, and basic dignity.
These acts were not spontaneous or isolated incidents. They reflect a pattern of ethnic majoritarian violence in which armed groups driven by exclusionary ideology have sought to dominate and terrorise minority tribal communities. The continued reluctance of the Government of India to clearly identify and act against this violence has emboldened perpetrators and prolonged the suffering of our people.
In such circumstances, the absence of visible justice and accountability causes deep pain and fear among the affected Kuki-Zo population. Political arrangements and power-sharing
measures cannot heal wounds when the forces responsible for violence are neither named nor confronted. Genuine peace requires justice, acknowledgement of wrongdoing, firm action against extremist violence, and ultimately a separate political administration-not merely the declaration of normalcy.
We humbly ask:
𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞?
The Government of India needs to recognise that the crisis in Manipur is not merely a law-and order issue but one rooted in ethnic majoritarianism directed against tribal minorities. Without an honest recognition of this reality, the Kuki-Zo people will find it difficult to place trust in any political process or government formation.
We also wish to place on record that the three Kuki-Zo MLAs who have joined the present Popular Government no longer represent the collective will and suffering of the Kuki-Zo people. Symbolic participation in government does not reflect the ground realities faced by displaced families and victims of violence.
The appointment of a few individuals from the Kuki-Zo community to positions of authority
cannot by itself bring reconciliation or resolve the crisis. Such representation does not address
continuing displacement, insecurity, and fear faced by ordinary families. Political pressure or control over leaders cannot silence the collective suffering of an entire people.
The Kuki-Zo people desire peace, harmony, and peaceful coexistence as neighbours under separate administration. We are willing to cooperate with all sincere efforts to restore stability and rebuild trust. However, cooperation can only be meaningful when justice is delivered (in the form of Separate Administration) and accountability is ensured. Peace without justice cannot be sustainable, and authority imposed without consent cannot bring unity.
In this context, we respectfully submit the following demands:

The voices of ordinary Kuki-Zo people-especially those who have suffered displacement, loss, and trauma-deserve to be heard with seriousness and respect. Ignoring these voices will only deepen mistrust and prolong conflict.
We therefore respectfully urge your good office to approach this matter with honesty, constitutional responsibility, and to take concrete steps toward justice, accountability, and a durable political solution so that genuine peace may be achieved for all communities in Manipur.

𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒊,
The 𝐊𝐮𝐤𝐢 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬' 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐢 & 𝐍𝐂𝐑, respectfully submits this 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐦 to place on record the grave concerns of the Kuki-Zo people regarding the recent installation of what has been described as a "𝑷𝒐𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕" in Manipur. We state unequivocally that 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐮𝐤𝐢-𝐙𝐨
𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞.The formation of such an administration while our people remain displaced, traumatised, and politically alienated is unacceptable and fails to reflect ground realities.
At the outset, we state clearly that the Kuki-Zo people no longer consider themselves part of the political and administrative framework of Manipur. The sustained violence inflicted upon our community has irreversibly broken trust and created a political rupture that cannot be ignored. Projecting peace and normalcy without acknowledging this reality misrepresents our lived experience. The crisis is not about accommodation within Manipur, but about a breakdown that has made continued coexistence under the same state structure untenable. For more than 32 months, the Kuki-Zo community has lived through sustained and targeted violence carried out by armed Meitei extremist groups allegedly operating with state support. Kuki-Zo women have been subjected to extreme sexual humiliation and violence. Kuki-Zo civilians have been killed in brutal ways. Over 300 Kuki-Zo churches have been destroyed, more than 200 Kuki-Zo villages have been burned, and over 40,000 Kuki-Zo people continue to live as displaced persons, deprived of homes, safety, and basic dignity.
These acts were not spontaneous or isolated incidents. They reflect a pattern of ethnic majoritarian violence in which armed groups driven by exclusionary ideology have sought to dominate and terrorise minority tribal communities. The continued reluctance of the Government of India to clearly identify and act against this violence has emboldened perpetrators and prolonged the suffering of our people.
In such circumstances, the absence of visible justice and accountability causes deep pain and fear among the affected Kuki-Zo population. Political arrangements and power-sharing
measures cannot heal wounds when the forces responsible for violence are neither named nor confronted. Genuine peace requires justice, acknowledgement of wrongdoing, firm action against extremist violence, and ultimately a separate political administration-not merely the declaration of normalcy.
We humbly ask:
𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞?
The Government of India needs to recognise that the crisis in Manipur is not merely a law-and order issue but one rooted in ethnic majoritarianism directed against tribal minorities. Without an honest recognition of this reality, the Kuki-Zo people will find it difficult to place trust in any political process or government formation.
We also wish to place on record that the three Kuki-Zo MLAs who have joined the present Popular Government no longer represent the collective will and suffering of the Kuki-Zo people. Symbolic participation in government does not reflect the ground realities faced by displaced families and victims of violence.
The appointment of a few individuals from the Kuki-Zo community to positions of authority
cannot by itself bring reconciliation or resolve the crisis. Such representation does not address
continuing displacement, insecurity, and fear faced by ordinary families. Political pressure or control over leaders cannot silence the collective suffering of an entire people.
The Kuki-Zo people desire peace, harmony, and peaceful coexistence as neighbours under separate administration. We are willing to cooperate with all sincere efforts to restore stability and rebuild trust. However, cooperation can only be meaningful when justice is delivered (in the form of Separate Administration) and accountability is ensured. Peace without justice cannot be sustainable, and authority imposed without consent cannot bring unity.

KTU/NSCN Clarifies Chassad Incident Rumours, Urges Peace
The Kuki Tribal Union (KTU/NSCN) has issued a press release clarifying the incident that reportedly took place in Chassad village on the night of February 10, 2026.
According to the statement, certain rumors were circulating on social media and among the public. The rumors claimed that a Tangkhul Naga women's team attempted to torch and burn down the Kuki village of Chassad. Another claim stated that Indian security forces were transporting Kuki militants from Burma (KNA-B) to Litan Sarei Khong and nearby Sarkaphung villages.
However, KTU/NSCN strongly denied these allegations. The union clarified that no Tangkhul Naga women's team attacked Chassad village. It also stated that no Kuki militants were being transported by Indian security forces.
Instead, the release explained that Tangkhul Naga women had rushed to the area to check the movement of security forces and to prevent militants from entering their region. Their actions, according to KTU/NSCN, were aimed at maintaining peace following two recent incidents in neighboring areas. The union said their intentions were misunderstood.
KTU/NSCN further appealed to the public not to circulate the video related to the incident. It urged people to delete the video from their records and discourage others from sharing it.
The union stated that it is doing its best to stabilize the situation and maintain peace and harmony in the area, which it described as tense and "war-like."
