Some 23,000 people fled ethnic violence in northeast India that reportedly killed at least 54 people, the army said on Sunday. The unrest in Manipur state erupted after a protest march by a tribal group last week sparked clashes, with vehicles and houses set on fire and authorities firing tear gas. The military deployed thousands of troops to the state bordering Myanmar, issued “shoot-at-sight” orders in “extreme cases”, imposed curfews, and cut the internet.
