Summary:

  • Horrific footage emerges showing two women sexually assaulted and paraded naked by a mob in Manipur, India.
  • The incident follows a months-long deadly ethnic conflict between the Hindu majority-Mathij tribe and the Christian minority-Cookie tribe.
  • Outrage spreads across India after delayed arrests and Prime Minister Narinjha Modi's response.

There's been widespread outrage across India after horrific footage has emerged showing two women being sexually assaulted and paraded naked by a mob in the state of Manipur. It follows a months-long, deadly ethnic conflict between two tribes, the Hindu majority-Mathij tribe and the Christian minority-Cookie tribe.

They're not militant groups, these are not terrorists, these are not organized groups. These are local people, people of one ethnicity fighting against the other ethnicity, and where the state seems to have been divided on ethnic lines. The state police, whether it's Amitay or a Cookie, they're divided. So the fact that everyone is divided and everyone is fighting each other actually makes it as close to civil war as it could be. The first ethnic clashes first broke out in May, leaving 140 people dead and displacing more than 60,000 others. The disturbing footage, which has since gone viral, shows the mob force the women to strip and drag them into a field before one of them is allegedly gang-raped. In the horrific scenes, the women can be heard weeping and begging their attackers to show mercy. Despite the incident having been reported to police on May 4th when it occurred, the first arrests weren't made until two months later after outrage erupted across India on Thursday. It's led to Prime Minister Narinjha Modi finally breaking his months-long silence, saying that the incident has shamed India and that the guilty will not be spared.

The incident has sparked national and international condemnation, putting a spotlight on the ongoing ethnic conflict in Manipur and the urgent need for justice and protection of women's rights. Authorities are under immense pressure to bring the perpetrators to justice and address the root causes of the conflict to prevent further violence.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
