There’s no end in sight to the ethnic conflict that began three years ago between the Christian-majority Kuki-Zo and Hindu Meitei communities in Manipur, India. Even though mass riots have tapered off, armed and bloody violence in the state has effectively split the region into two ethnic zones of Kukis and Meiteis, respectively, separated by government security-patrolled “buffer zones” that Christians and other residents cannot safely cross and vice versa.
