In India, authorities have declared a curfew and shut down internet access across the northeastern state of Manipur amid a surge in violence between the majority Meitei and minority Kuki communities. At least 11 people have been killed in recent fighting that includes weaponized drone attacks on civilians launched by suspected Kuki fighters. More than 200 people have been killed since the violence broke out last year; tens of thousands have fled the region. On Wednesday, student protesters marched to demand an end to the violence.

Priyanka Devi: “Should we choose war, or should we study? Which side should we choose? Governor, respected chief minister, respected president, etc., please provide the means to stop violence in our small state of Manipur.”
