PEACE AND RECONCILIATION

NSCN issued death warrants to me and two other persons when I was a headmaster in a school in Niuland in 1994 (one ran away to his hometown in Asom and the other Bangladeshi businessman was killed). At least two more threats to kill me were pronounced when I was actively serving the Naga Nation. In all the said occasions I never feared. Actually I was feeling sorry for the bullies; for they failed to search and find out that I was one of the humble patriots who were unreservedly willing to lay down their lives in the service of the suffering Naga people and their God-given freedom. As per the national papers of Nagalim dated 19 May 2007, one Y Wangtin Konyak of the Khaplang group is threatening me again. I don’t fear him even a tiny bit. I pity him for his immaturity and ignorance.

Had Wangtin not wrongly implicated two respectable Naga international support groups, I would have ignored his silly outburst as I always do with all the childish media talks of the Khaplang group from the Burmese-occupied Nagalim (I laughed when they lied that my study was sponsored by the NSCN). The fact is that I don’t know much about the Naga Solidarity Group (NSG), and the NISC is a serious human rights organisation run by prominent Dutch intellectuals who are not influenced by anyone. And I want to assure Wangtin that, unlike him, these kind Dutch human rights champions are definitely not terrorists. And, yes, Naga Support Group (UK) is a body which exists independently from the NSG and the NISC, and our humble tasks are limited to parliamentarians, human rights trusts, and church groups.

There are numerous persons who will recollect that I wrote many articles in the newspapers about the need of unity and reconciliation among the Nagas. My wife is a serious heart patient and she will soon undergo an operation, but following the announcement of unity and reconciliation by Chairman Swu and a seemingly positive response from Chairman Khaplang these days I am paying more attention to Nagalandpost.com and Morungexpress.com. NSG (UK) will rejoice the day the Nagas will forgive each other and happily reunite under a single objective, for we all know for sure that this is the only way for the Nagas to live in peace and dignity. It is our fervent prayers to our living God that He changes our hatred into love. We praise the Naga organisations who are working hard for peace and reconciliation.
