From hiding in a friend's hostel room to attend trials at SAI to playing for @keralaBlasters and the @IndianFootball, Hormipam has come a long way!

I write about his humble beginnings, his shot to stardom, and his love for playing the beautiful game.

Situation at Shokvao in #Manipur

[Eve @UTDEve]

Yang menarik dan gw notice dari final kemarin itu gimana wasit NGGAK ngasih celah sedikit pun buat Arsenal buang-buang waktu.

Gw inget ada juga momen Mosquera dapet kartu kuning karena kelamaan ngambil throw-in.

Seakan-akan wasit bilang dengan tegas:

"Kalau lo time wasting, gw bakal hukum lo."

Premier League butuh ini sih jujur, mengingat time wasting masih sering banget terjadi disana.

That would make the league much more entertaining.

[Manipur Police @manipur_police]

On 30th May 2026, at around 1:45 PM, unknown armed miscreants fired in the vicinity of Kharam Vaiphei Village, Kangpokpi District.
In the ensuing firing incident, five kutcha houses in Kharam Vaiphei village were burnt.

District Police, along with security forces deployed near the village, responded to the incident and brought the firing and arson under control.
No casualties were reported in the incident.

Posts or statements circulated on social media by any media (or fake) outlet associated with militant groups praising the District SP are baseless and do not arise from the facts of the incident.
The charges leveled against the District SP and Security Forces in this post are grossly false.

Legal action will be initiated against those spreading disinformation through posts or statements during this sensitive time.

We’ve all slated him, but Arne Slot genuinely seems like a good guy.

The way he handled something so unprecedented like the Jota situation was unbelievably classy and he represented us well during that period. Was the right time, but hopefully he lands on his feet elsewhere.

[LB @LBLFC_]

Deep down, you can tell he's a genuinely good fella. The way he handled everything that happened off the pitch during the summer was excellent, and that first season was unbelievable. It's sad how it all ended, but he'll always be remembered for delivering that league title.

‘Kuki Militants’ Kill Bengal Truck Driver in Manipur's Ukhrul As Kuki-Naga Tensions Simmer

Fifty-seven year-old Nitish Kumar was shot dead while driving a Food Corporation truck moving with a security convoy in the restive Litan area.

[Liam @SomosLos_Rojos]

Won us the league. Handled the Jota tragedy with immaculate humanity and connection. Just because the footy was a bit rough people were saying absolutely abhorrent things about him. Will be a legend forever and rightfully should stay on the banner on the kop

[- @AnfieldRd96]

It's sad the way it ended, but will forever be grateful.

Thank you for number 20, Arne Slot.

Why won't retired officials of Assam Rifles also talk of the dubious history and role of Assam Rifles in Manipur. We have not forgotten the protest by Meitei Ima who had to disrobe to shame the State to follow the Constitution at least in pretense. The illegal killings in hundreds that happened. The rape, torture and killings. Journalism should stop treating these retired officials as some dispensers of the holy grain of truth.

[Nitin Sethi @nit_set]

The increasing conflict between Kuki and Naga armed groups in the hills coupled with anger/protests in the Imphal valley by Meitei citizens and CSOs against killing of innocent children has left Delhi journalism of self-proclaimed right and liberal left so confused because the 'story' does not fit anymore into eithers' cognitive traps and/or agenda.

So, the headlines (when news cannot be avoided and must be reported) are now flattening the conflict to be just a case of killings without context.

The mainland India media and civil society's earlier reportage, explainers and reports etc were often so coloured by their own confirmation biases that they cared little about Manipur while using the people's plight as a platform for their politics.

Most of them now can be seen for what they were - bereft of any understanding. Often poisoned by bias and politics.

The blame lies with the leaders of the newsrooms and CSOs in these cases, not the reporters or the ordinary workers of CSOs. And with the Internet-driven need of newsrooms to report and write copious volumes while the 'topic' is 'hot'.

It's the role of editors and leaders to shape understanding, provide space and opportunity for younger colleagues to do better in rushed and complex work.

Media studies departments in India and abroad should study how mainland indian journalism of all hues largely failed and several tried to deflect attention by blaming the hapless hacks in Manipur, surviving direct threats to their and their loved ones lives, for bias.

I had the opportunity to often witness the sheer patronising arrogance that many such 'leaders' and others displayed during this phase. That was disappointing.

Also learnt how little it all mattered to people in Manipur or the how the powerful actors of all kinds acted. It does matter how rest of world will get to understand lives in Manipur if they were to only look at such bad reportage and journalism etc as the first draft of history.

[Khanuithot-Khon @khanuithotkhon]

Kuki militants under the SoO Agreement attacked Tangkhul Naga civilian travelers. The incident happened at TM-Kasom village near Litan. It occurred after the Chief Minister of Manipur visited Ukhrul. The Kuki militants were operating cowardly to derail the peace process, and continues the cycle of violence.

Reportedly, two killed at the time of reporting.

TWO Tangkhul Naga civilian Gunned Down by Kuki Militants on NH-202: Deputy Chief Minister, Manipur Must Resign

April 18, 2026 | 2:35 PM | Near TM Kasom village, Litan Police Station

Mr. SW. Chinaoshang (S/o SW Ruichumhao, Tushar/Tashar Village) and Mr. Yaruingam Vashum (S/o Thuimi Vashum, Kharasom Village) were murdered on the spot today. Gunned down by Kuki militants operating under the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with the Government of India. A sniper. Aimed. Fired. Two lives erased: unarmed civilian travellers. The attack occurred within hours of the Chief Minister of Manipur returning to Imphal after his maiden visit to Ukhrul by road. The message is deliberate. Provoke. Intimidate. Derail.

Today, Litan. Tomorrow, your village. This is not sporadic violence. This is a sustained pattern of aggression by armed groups operating under a state sponsored ceasefire, emboldened by the State's abject failure to act. We have made phone calls with people on the ground. Further information on damage is being assessed. But this much is already clear. Kuki militants used a sniper. This was not random. This was calculated murder.

On moral grounds, we demand the resignation of Nemcha Kipgen, Deputy Chief Minister of Manipur. She holds the Tribal Affairs and Hills Department portfolio. She belongs to the Kuki community. She took oath virtually from Delhi, citing "security reasons." Yet under her watch and the watch of the government she serves, Kuki militants have systematically violated the SoO agreement with absolute impunity. Torching houses. Occupying community forests. Extorting travellers. Burning villages. Now murdering civilians on highways with sniper fire.

𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐘

1. Your consistent failure to act against armed militants who have been provoking an entire community for months has created a legal reality you cannot ignore.

2. Under Sections 96 to 106 of the Indian Penal Code, the right of private defence is available to every citizen when the State fails in its primary duty to protect life and property. The Supreme Court of India has repeatedly held that this right is a valuable right with a social purpose. The court has observed that private defence must be strictly preventive, aimed at averting danger, but it is available to those who act in good faith in the face of imminent peril. The Supreme Court has also held that the burden of proving self-defence is not as onerous as that of the prosecution; it can be discharged by establishing a mere preponderance of probabilities. Even if private defence is not formally pleaded, it may be considered based on the material available on record.

3. If the State, through its inaction, repeatedly fails to stop armed militants from attacking unarmed civilians under a government backed ceasefire, the people facing such aggression cannot be expected to remain helpless targets forever. The accountability for any defensive retaliation that may occur in such eventualities will not lie with the people. The accountability will lie with the State that abandoned its duty to protect.

4. The SoO agreement was signed in 2008 to end hostilities. It has instead become a shield for militant operations. Bunkers at village entry points. Tax collection on highways. Illegal taxation by Kuki cadres under SoO persists openly. Deputy Commissioners have been threatened at gunpoint by Kuki cadres under SoO along National Highway 202. And now, open attacks on civilians with sniper fire. The Joint Monitoring Group includes insurgents themselves. The two key arrangement gives militants access to their weapons. The revised ground rules signed in September 2025 required mandatory physical verification, deposit of weapons at nearest CRPF/BSF camps, and relocation of designated camps away from vulnerable areas. Six months have passed. None of it has been implemented. SoO cadres continue to possess weapons. SoO camps remain operational. And village volunteers are being forced to pick up arms to defend their ancestral land.

We demand the Government of India and the Government of Manipur conduct a speedy inquiry into this act of terrorism committed by SoO militants. Under the SoO agreement, all weapons are numbered, recorded, and assigned to specific cadres. The ballistic evidence from the sniper used in this murder can be matched to the weapons registered under SoO cadres. The authorities have the power to track these weapons, identify the specific militants involved, and apprehend the culprits without delay. Any failure to do so will be treated as deliberate complicity.

You cannot keep arming and sheltering militants under a ceasefire while demanding that civilians remain defenceless. The law does not require a citizen to wait for death.

NAGAS WERE NOT THINKING OF ANY VIOLENT MOVEMENT

India | B.N. Mullik | 1972

“Up to this point [India’s invasion of the Nagas] it must be said to the credit of the Nagas that they were not thinking of any violent movement. They were hoping that the result of the plebiscite would sufficiently influence the authorities to give a dispensation in their favour.”

- B.N. Mullik, (Mullik 1972, 302) )(India’s Intelligence Bureau Chief under Jawaharlal Nehru) My Years with Nehru 1948-1964, about how “the war with the Nagas” started.

@TheBoringfollwr @premierleague Four times!
But I'm more interested in the xG balance and what the game state in these four games were.

[Worngachan Shatsang @AworShatsang]

@Nazteeee196 Said this when we lost our first game against Palace!

[Worngachan Shatsang @AworShatsang]

A good game to lose considering how terrible we were.

Starting to get concerned how off the pace we've been this season with late goals covering poor performances.

Salah's form a reflection of Slot trying new things but he should still be the focal point.

We move on!
