Despite the selected targeting of the Hmar, Kuki, and Zomi tribes by the Meitei community, with the alleged support of state forces since May 2023, Manipur’s crisis has been reported in the media as ‘Meitei vs. Kuki/Kuki-Zo’ clash. https://thewire.in/politics/manipur-how-misrepresentation-of-hmar-and-zomi-people-made-them-invisible-in-the-conflict
In 1997, the continual imposition of Kuki identity on smaller tribes resulted in a large-scale conflict between the Kuki and Zomi, leading to death of hundreds, displacement of thousands, and impeding generational economic progress. This implies that self-identification of tribes must be seriously taken into account.

In the last 10 days, 10 people have lost their lives in the violence in Manipur, signalling significant reprisal of the strife in the northeastern state. Among those killed is a former serviceman. https://thewire.in/rights/manipur-violence-killings-internet-education
The killings this time reflect the widespread nature of the unrest across the state.
The violence erupted on September 1, when bombs were thrown for the first time in the Koutuk Kadangband village. An alleged drone attack killed a woman and injured nine others, including an 11-year-old, igniting protests and further clashes, as people took to the streets.
The Manipur government suspended internet and mobile data services across the state from 3 pm on September 10, until 3 pm on September 15, 2024, citing concerns about the “spread of disinformation and rumours through social media”.
