Restore calm and prevent further escalation

We, the European Manipuri Association, are deeply saddened and alarmed by the current crisis in Manipur. It is heart-wrenching to see our own communities turning against each other.
We appeal to all the parties involved to exercise restraint and refrain from resorting to violence or any other form of destructive behaviour which only will lead to more suffering and hardship. There are grievances and disagreements that need to be addressed but we believe that these can be resolved by understanding each other through empathetic peaceful dialogue and negotiation.
We call on the government of Manipur and all the other stakeholders to take immediate steps to restore calm and prevent further escalation of the situation. We also appeal to the media organisations and social media users to report responsibly and avoid sensationalism that could fuel further tension. Let us come together and work towards a peaceful and just resolution.
In conclusion, we would like to express our solidarity with all the people of Manipur in this difficult time. We stand with you and offer our support to any efforts aimed at promoting peace, justice and reconciliation for a harmonious future for Manipur.
Sagolsem Biramani
Chairperson - Executive Committee
