About this booklet

In Manipur, Suspension of Operation Agreements (SoO) have been in effect since 2008, signed between the Union Government of India and the State Government of Manipur on one side and two major fronts of Kuki armed groups: the Kuki National Organisation and the United Peoples’ Front. Despite widespread awareness of violations of laws by Kuki armed cadres, particularly on national highways and at developmental project sites, there has been limited attention given to questioning whether these actions constitute breaches of the SoO agreements.

Many individuals have not been fully informed about the contents and implications of the SoO. However, the SoO agreements came under scrutiny in 2023, particularly following the regrettable events of May 3, 2023. During this incident, Kuki armed cadres, purportedly under the protection of the SoO, not only displayed sophisticated arms during a “peace march” but also engaged in armed attacks against civilians. Given the established roles of Kuki armed groups in the ongoing violence, the SoO has become a matter of concern.

Despite this, there has been a lack of publication of available documents, memorandums, complaints, news reports, and opinions into a comprehensive booklet. This publication aims to address this gap by presenting a curated collection of selected documents, memorandums, and analyses in a single volume.
