Naga Solidarity Group appeals- Nagaland Post
Sensing the volatility of the political situation and the fragility of the peace process, the Naga Solidarity Group after serious deliberation made these observations:
1. After 10 years of ceasefire and political talks between the Indian State and Nagaland, the Indian Government has failed to win the confidence of the world community.
2. The Indian state has not steadfastly addressed Naga people's sovereignty which is shown in its insincerity to tackle Naga's human and political rights. This is now the germinating point for further instability and escalating violence for which the Indian Government will be held solely responsible;
3. The international community will not tolerate acts of intentional and needless discrimination. Consistent with the United Nation's resolution against systematic annihilation of any ethnic group or race, the Naga Solidarity Group, in the strongest terms, opposes any policy aimed at 'ethnic cleansing' of any Naga tribe. This resolution applies to both the Indian state and any Naga group that is responsible for 'ethnic cleansing', as they will be brought before the International Criminal Court;
Over time, all Naga national groups have contributed to the problem by making serious human mistakes which have cost the people dearly. These groups are asked to initiate corrective steps and to seek forgiveness from those whom they have wronged; Sovereignty for all Naga people must remain the focus. In order to legitimize the Naga political rights in the world community, Naga national groups are encouraged to resolve their differences through peaceful means all the while maintaining this focus.
