The KLO is still committed to the creation of an independent Kamtapuri State in the northeastern portion of India. Although several of its major leaders have been either killed or imprisoned between 1999 and 2003, it is believed that the group was revived by the ULFA after it nearly fell apart in late 2004. As recently as September 2006, ULFA provided training support to KLO militants at camps in Bangladesh, and now the two groups coordinate many of their activities together.  The KLO also continues to operate training camps in neighboring Bhutan despite pressure from the Bhutanese government to leave its territory.<br /><p><br />Based on the support it receives from ULFA, the KLO will likely remain a moderate threat to the region in the future. While it has operations in both West Bengal and Assam, the group is most active in the districts of Darjeeling and Jalpaiguri.

Kanglei Yaol Kanba Lup, Organization to Save the Revolutionary Movement in Manipur

Despite being one of the smaller groups in Manipur, the KYKL continues to intimidate, threaten, and attack its perceived enemies.  While the KYKL will not see its goal of a unified "Seven Sisters" in the near future, the group can be considered highly active and a threat to the safety and security of the region.

The Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP) is a small ethnic Metei outfit in Manipur, India.  Although the group is ostensibly Communist, the KCP is more concerned with the preservation of Metei culture and Manipuri independence from India.  The word "Kangleipak" is simply a historical name for Manipur.   <P><br /><br />Meteis are the largest ethnic group in Manipur, a small, restive state in northeastern India.  Although Manipur is the most diverse state in India, ethnic differences between tribes and factional disputes have also led to diversity of violent insurgent groups.  Some of these groups are concerned with ideology while others merely serve as protection outfits for certain sectors of society.  The KCP seems to fit somewhere in the middle, not strongly ideological, but not a purely ethnic organization either. <P><br /><br />The KCP was founded in 1980. Some sources report that the group split from another left-wing organization, the People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak.  KCP is most known for low-level attacks on journalists and other people it deems "outsiders."  In addition, the group made a bizarre declaration in 2005 banning local Manipuri films, calling them morally corrupt.  In the past, Manipuri insurgent groups have banned Hindi films but have seen local Manipuri projects as acceptable. <P><br /><br />Sources differ as to the strength of the KCP, with one estimate putting the group's numbers at less than 50 cadres.  Other sources believe the group to be much larger.  Like most other insurgent groups in the northeast, the KCP funds their operations through extortion of local villagers and businesses.<br />
