Press Release
Amsterdam, July 6 2006
The Naga International Support Center Members surprised about the invitation of the secretary of the GPRN of the NSCN-(K), no name provided unfortunately, ( that was published in the Nagaland Post website, Opinion section, July 1, 2006) is warmed by the gesture and accepts the invitation to experience the ground realities in Nagaland. Please arrange for us all needed to get visa and remote area permits.
As we understand it, if we may have falsely accused the Government of India naturally for a good understanding we invite you in turn secretary of the NSCN (K) to show us substantially and convincingly where we have gone wrong. Please also show us why you have entered into a ceasefire with the Government of India but have not begun peace talks yet?
Furthermore the NISC is not against or writing against the NSCN (K) per se, on the contrary the NISC is a human rights organization that supports the right to self determination for all Nagas. Please Mr. secretary as we see it, the Government of India has occupied the Naga Homeland and is thus the nation which should, as it has signed the charter of the United Nations in which the right to self determination of all peoples is enshrined, show us the vision, the objectives and the policies of the NSCN (K) through which that goal is to be achieved?
Since we do not have such written document from organization yet and since we keep on receiving reports, which because rightly as you say the ground realities are extremely difficult to verify indeed, which tell that you do collaborate with the Assam Rifles and the Armed Forces of India, we find it almost impossible ti grasp where you stand.
Now that you say we have falsely accused the Government of India, though an occupying power, we do invite you to unequivocally share with us why you defend the Government of India. Please tell us what is your reason for this is?
And oh yes we do deny strongly your accusation too that we are collaborators in ‘unabated’ killings. In fact we find that insulting as a human rights organization NISC does not condone any killing amongst people anywhere and we make no exception for Nagas of any background. We abhor and condemn fratricidal killings and appeal to the good sense of all involved to stop this senseless behavior. Not only many lives are lost but also it plays into the hand of the occupying nation.
In your cease fire agreement with the Government of India you have agreed to
To uphold and protect the law of the land which is nothing but the constitution of India pure and simple. In what sense are you standing for the Naga national cause? I do not think anybody can fool the Nagas least the NISC.
Could you please send us the official text of your cease fire agreement?
And, for you information the NISC is not at the behest of anyone so no Muivah, no Phizo no Khaplang either. Come forward with your objectives to show that you do take it up for the Naga Peoples and their long wished plight for self determination?
So, indeed, please arrange a trip to Nagaland for us secretary, arrange the papers that the Government of India requires and until today has denied us. You can contact us through our website www.nagalim.nl or directly through our email address nisc@nagalim.nl
Drs. F.A.M Welman,
Secretary Naga International Support Center

Sovereignty vis-à-vis Isaac Swu, Th. Muivah and NISC
Recently Isaac Swu, Th. Muivah and some Tangkhuls have invented a new definition of sovereignty. But their definition cannot be accepted by the world for political definition. This new discovery of the term is to hoodwink and bluff the Naga people into believing that IM terrorists are pursuing the issue of Naga sovereignty.
After giving up the sovereignty issue, Isaac and T. Muivah and Tangkhul leaders are time and again proclaiming that, 'sovereignty rests with the Naga people' and sovereignty is with the Naga people'. It is a shameless concoction of political term. What kind of sovereignty rests with the Naga people, in the first place? No individual or group of people has sovereignty. Sovereignty is in the hands of the sovereign, I.e., King or Emperor or dictator.
The modern concept of sovereignty is in the nation or the Government that the particular nation has. Sovereignty or the national government is a sum total of the surrendered rights of individuals. If in a nation every man or group of people do not surrender his or her rights where is the source of power of governance of a nation or country?
If the people of a nation do not surrender their rights to the sovereign I.e. The national government, every body will start exercising his or her sovereign power and their will certainly be confusion, chaos and anarchy. And there will be no common institution to govern the nation and the people. So sovereignty does not rest with individual or group of people, therefore the leaders of IM should not mislead the Naga people. They should stop the policy of make believe.
Secondly, the so called Naga International Support Centre (NISC) through some local papers falsely alleging the Govt. Of India, undermining the NSCN/GPRN and showering all the praises to the IM. The NSCN/GPRN heartily invites the members of the 2/3 NISC located in different parts of the world to visit every nook and corner of Nagaland and see the ground realities themselves. From writing so much against the NSCN/GPRN we are more then convinced that NISC is collaborators of unabated killings among the Nagas. They cannot deny it. The logic itself explains the truth. The members should, in the first place, try to understand the situations and circumstances in Nagaland and should not give blind support to the IM. They must also see the acts of terrorism of the IM upon the innocent Nagas.
This statement issued by NISC has been written at the best of Th. Muivah, a leader of IM. Secretary, MIP, GPRN, NSCN (K).
