Two years on - A Time to Reflect, Rebuild, and Reconcile

As Manipur marks two years since the outbreak of unrest on May 3, 2023, the state finds itself caught between remembrance and reckoning. The scars of the prolonged ethnic conflict, particularly between the Meitei and Kuki communities, remain fresh — marked by the displacement of thousands, lives lost, and communities fragmented. Yet amidst the sorrow, this anniversary brings with it a determined wave of civic engagement from both sides, a powerful sign that society is refusing to surrender to silence or despair.
Across the state, preparations are underway by civil society organisations (CSOs) to observe the day in various forms. The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), is organising a mass public convention in Imphal, calling for collective introspection and national attention to the unresolved crisis. In the hill districts, Kuki CSOs are preparing community vigils, memorial services, and advocacy events to honour the departed and highlight the ongoing insecurity in their regions.

May Day in Manipur:
A call for unity amidst labour struggles and external aggression on Manipur- MIYC
IT News
Imphal, April 29:

On the occasion of May Day, the Manipur International Youth Centre (MIYC) issued a statement emphasizing the significance of the day for the working class and marginalised communities. The statement highlighted that May Day serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by labourers and the need for unity among all the indigenous communities to address systemic issues.
The MIYC recalled the historical origins of May Day, tracing it back to the 1886 labour movement in Chicago, USA, where workers protested for an eight-hour workday. The movement led to significant sacrifices, including the loss of lives, but ultimately contributed to the recognition of workers’ rights. The MIYC drew parallels between these historical events and the current challenges faced by workers in Manipur after the external aggression on Manipur on May 3, 2023.
