This latest news report comes as the ethnic conflict in Manipur completes a year, with no resolution seemingly in sight. The state has been rife with violence the whole year and continues to be very much still in turmoil. The conflict has left over displaced 40,000 Manipuris forced to live in makeshift, and ethnically divided, relief camps. Interestingly, the Assam Rifles, a centrally administered paramilitary force, released in a report Singh had stoked the flames of conflict in the state. As the polling continues in the rest of the country as normal, the people of Manipur continue to suffer a year on with displacement, hunger, and violence.
