01/05/2008: "NSCN-IM on Sumi Hoho"
Government of the People’s Republic of Nagalim
Ministry of Information and Publicity
Press Release
5th January 2008
Going by the reactions of the Sumi Hoho on the controversial issue of the diminished Naga unification agenda made-believe by the dismissed Kilo Kilonser, the below-standard ethical norms of the Western Sumi Hoho and Sumi Hoho have come to the surface and not surprisingly, the Western Sumi Hoho’s initiated unification process has boomeranged in the midway for the very reason of not attaching any respect or importance to the civilized political standard that governs people’s mandated organization like the NSCN/GPRN. This is something highly regretted but the inevitable impact on the credibility of Western Sumi Hoho and Sumi Hoho will never go down well in the history of the Nagas, and the unfolding events shall be witnessed by the Nagas across Nagalim to judge the true mentality of the Sumi Hohos who have now gone to the extend of questioning the Naga people’s mandated government of NSCN. This has gone too far and is tantamount to challenging the NSCN/GPRN authority. To defend the national interest, the NSCN has no other recourse but to accept the challenge. Western Sumi Hoho or Sumi Hoho should not consider themselves greater then the Naga Nation. NSCN shall henceforth consider these two Sumi Hoho organizations entering into direct confrontation with NSCN. The battle cry has been sounded as forced on the NSCN.
As a matter of justification, where is the question of “inconsistency “on the part of NSCN Chairman Ino Isak Chishi Swu on the matter of Naga unification? In the backdrop of the sensitive situation that controversial unification initiative played by Azheto Chophy in collaboration with the Western Sumi Hoho and later on backed by Sumi Hoho, the Yaruiwo Isak Chishi Swu issued a statement that read: “The NSCN stands for reconciliation, unity and peace of all the Nagas. Therefore, appeal to the people to extent all out effort to achieve it. Any independent unity move, deliberately by the back door shall not be acceptable”. The Yaruiwo at the same time warned the Naga people to be on guard against divisive external forces.
If this Statement bears no meaning to the Sumi Hohos, then the issue is clear to the NSCN and to the Naga people. It is a wanton disregard to the establishment of a lasting Naga unification, and shall be considered as a direct insult to the NSCN/GPRN.
