India's ethnic clashes spurs new armed militias movement

Dozens of Kuki villagers take up arms after deadly ethnic clashes broke out between their community and Manipur's majority Meiteis amid fears that the new armed movement in the historically restive state of India's remote northeast could last for years. "This is already a full-scale war, and I'm ready to die and kill," says a Kuki volunteer combatant commander.
