Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Ten armed men were killed in a gunfight with security forces in India’s remote northeastern state of Manipur on Monday after trying to attack a police station, officials said.<\/p>\n

Manipur has been suffering unrest since last year, when the majority Meitei community and the tribal Kukis clashed after a court ordered the state government to consider extending special economic benefits and quotas in government jobs and education enjoyed by the Kukis to the Meiteis as well.<\/p>\n

The state of 3.2 million people has been divided into two ethnic enclaves – a valley controlled by the Meiteis and the Kuki-dominated hills – since the conflict began in May 2023.<\/p>\n

The areas are separated by a stretch of no-man’s land monitored by federal paramilitary forces. At least 250 people have been killed and some 60,000 displaced.<\/p>\n

State police described Monday’s attackers as “armed militants”, saying in a statement that security forces and police had responded fiercely and brought the situation under control after around 45 minutes of heavy gunfire.<\/p>\n

Krishna Kumar, deputy commissioner of Manipur’s Jiribam district, where the incident took place, said “miscreants” who attacked a police station had been killed by central security forces.<\/p>\n

However, the Hmar Students’ Association, a tribal body representing the Hmars – a sub-group of the Kuki tribal community – alleged that “village volunteers” had been killed in a “premeditated massacre” by federal and state security forces and “Meitei militants”.<\/p>\n

Kumar said the region had been tense since last week, when a 31-year-old tribal woman was burned and killed.<\/p>\n

One security officer was critically injured, said a local police official who asked not to be named since he was not authorised to speak to media.<\/p>\n
