World leaders urged to act against Kuki terrorists
Rio de Janeiro, Nov 17: Young climate activist Licypriya Kangujam has urged world leaders to take decisive action against Kuki terrorists.
Licypriya addressed a G20 Summit 2024 at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil today.
She urged the international community to condemn the genocide of Meiteis and the barbarian act of Kuki narco- terrorists and to bring peace in Manipur.
The Government of Brazil invited Licypriya to address the G20 Summit this year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and several other world leaders including US President Joe Biden are attending the G20 Summit. United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres arrived in Rio de Janeiro yesterday.
During her speech at the G20 Talk, Licypriya briefed about the Jiribam incident where a Meitei family of 6 women including three minor children were kidnapped, raped, and brutally murdered by Kuki narco-terrorists and two other men were burnt alive.
She also shouted the slogan “Justice for Meitei”, “Justice for Manipur” on the G20 platform.
This is against the international law, this is against the principle of the United Nations. The international community must speak out against such atrocities to stop ethnic cleansing of Meiteis in India.
Licypriya also described the conflict in Manipur as a ‘New Climate War” between the two communities who love nature and the one who hate nature.
She urged world leaders to adopt deforestation as an international crime in the G20 Summit.
She talked about the rising global concerns of Timor-Leste in terms of fighting the global climate crisis leading to food insecurity, hunger, and poverty.
Rising sea level is not just threatening the lives of the people, it also threatens the rich culture and heritage of the people of Timor-Leste.
Rich Nations must pay for the loss and damage caused by the climate crisis to the global south, she further added.
Later, she met the President of Brazil Lula da Silva and handed over the "G20 Youth Demands on Loss & Damage Funds", a global youth statement on behalf of the millions of children and young people who are already the victims of climate change.
This document was drafted by thousands of young people from 196 countries.
President Lula assured Licypriya that he will discuss the document with the G20 leaders on Monday for adoption.
She also slammed the world leaders stating that “we are living in the world which feeds war, not the children. Instead of spending billions of dollars in wars, if we spend it on ending hunger, giving education, and fighting climate change then what a wonderful earth our planet would be. This is very shameful. This is not fair.”
