The Kuki Zo tribal community staged rallies in Manipur and Mizoram opposing the Indian government’s decision to erect fencing along the Indo-Myanmar border and cancel the Free Movement Regime (FMR) with Myanmar. Blaming illegal immigration for ethnic tensions, the government’s move sparked protests across villages near the border. Organized by groups like ZORO and the Kuki Students Organisation, rallies in Manipur and Mizoram sought to assert the rights of indigenous peoples divided by the border, citing Article 36 of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
