GUWAHATI An apex organisation of Nagas in Manipur has asked the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities to keep the Nagas out of their war.
The Nagas are increasingly becoming victims of an ethnic battle they are not involved in, the United Naga Council (UNC) said while issuing a list of atrocities committed on the Nagas both in the Meitei-dominated Imphal Valley and the hills inhabited primarily by the Kuki-Zo people.
Meiteis, Nagas, and Kuki-Zos are the principal communities of Manipur. The Nagas decided on a “position of neutrality” since the ethnic conflict between the Meiteis and Kuki-Zomis broke out on March 3, 2023.
