Tens of thousands displaced by ethnic violence in northeast India suffer squalid conditions in camps

Associated Press  

KANGPOKPI, India — Phalneivah Khonsai ran for her life when violence struck her neighborhood in India’s restive northeast, carrying just the bare essentials in the hope that she and her family could return soon. The relief camp is in Kangpokpi, about 50 kilometers from Imphal, the capital of India’s northeastern Manipur state, which has been wracked by ethnic violence since last year. His administration says people from the hill tribes — who share ethnic lineage with Myanmar’s Chin tribe — are using illegal drugs to finance a war against the Hindu community. “The nation must understand that the Kukis and the Meiteis for the time being are not able to live together, so the state or the central government should not force both communities at this critical juncture to come together,” Kipgen said.
