NTIMES 31Dec: Sumi Nagas tell Centre to remove NSCN camps Sangaiexpress
Kohima, Dec 30 : Ex-pressing fear of a resurgence of factional violence by underground groups, the apex council of Sumi Nagas has urged the Centre to remove all designated camps of NSCN factions from Zunheboto district or ask the groups to adhere to ceasefire ground rules.
A letter to this effect was sent to the Union Home Minister, P Chidambaram by the Sumi Hoho after holding a silent procession protesting recent factional clashes here yesterday.
The letter claimed that the underground groups were not adhering to the ceasefire ground rules and the surveillance mechanism had failed resulting in intimidation, extortion and killings by their cadres.
The recent spurt in clashes between NSCN(K) led by SS Khaplang and GPRN/NSCN led by Khole and Kitovi resulted in the killing of two cadres in the district on the Christmas eve.
Additional armed police were deployed at Zunheboto and Suruhoto, the two places where tension prevailed following recent clashes and presence of camps of rival groups.
Although Nagaland witnessed virtual absence of clashes between rival groups for the past three years, the trouble began on December 16 at Dimapur when NSCN(K) tried to set up a sub-office of its ceasefire supervisory cell in the town which was strongly opposed by GPRN/NSCN.
On Wednesday, a civilian received bullet injuries when assailants opened fire and shot dead a cadre of GPRN/NSCN inside a mela ground at Dimapur, police said.
As people feared resurgence of factional clashes might spread beyond Dimapur, three passers-by were injured by stray bullets when an underground cadre fired at another in Kohima yesterday.
Expressing concern over the recent escalation of factional clashes, the apex tribal council Naga Hoho urged warring factions to stop fighting and spare civilian areas.
In a statement, Hoho General Secretary P Chuba Ozukum also urged the district administration and civic bodies to step up vigil.
The state government and the Angami Public Organization also appealed to shun the “culture of violence”.
The NSCN factions are currently in a peace pact with the Government of India.
NTIMES 31Dec: NPF readies for Manipur polls Objective is to bring balanced development: Shürhozelie Eastern Mirror Narain B Sagar
SENAPATI, DEC 30: With his party debuting in the Manipur State Assembly Elections 2012, Naga People’s Front President Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu today said the main objective of the party is to bring down the O Ibobi Singh-led Congress Government in order to bring about balanced development for minority tribes in the state.
Exhorting 55 out of the 56 odd aspiring candidates seeking NPF ticket for the ensuing January 28 Manipur General Election at Tahpou Naga Village under Senapati district of Manipur this afternoon, Shürhozelie said this is the first time for NPF to contest in the Manipur Legislative Assembly election and therefore ‘we are making history’.
Stating that NPF is the oldest regional political party in the entire NE Region, he said one has to feel pride in belonging to the party while also hoping that the aspiring candidates will make wise decision to see that NPF opens its account.
Dwelling on the reasons leading to introduction of NPF beyond Nagaland, he said the move was made with a purpose. He recalled that the Nagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) has passed four resolutions since 1964 for the integration of all Naga inhabited areas, not only in Manipur but Assam, Arunachal and elsewhere. He, however, said for many years, even if NLA passed so many resolutions and declared the policy for integration nobody raised a voice of objection in the past, but it was only in 2002 that the Meities raised their voice in opposition. “They came out in a very strong way,” he said while maintaining that because of the opposition even the Government of India also became reluctant to discuss the issue of integration.
“I have been told in the ongoing peace process this integration issue has become the bone of contention. Naga delegates want integration but GoI said no,” he further said.
Therefore, he said in the face of such opposition NPF thought it should bring the Naga people together in another platform where nobody can raise any voice against us. “Ours is a regional political party and if we want to extend our activities in Manipur or Assam or elsewhere the Constitution of India cannot stop us,” he said. Fully aware of this provision, he said that NPF decided to introduce its party activities in Manipur. “We feel that by doing that even if we cannot come together under the same administrative head, we feel that we can have a common political platform, where we can work together,” he said.
In this regard, he said the NPF wants the Meitei friends to understand that the NPF has expanded its activities into Manipur state not to dislodged nor weaken or change the boundary but to work together more actively, cohesively and participate in the Manipur Legislative Assembly. “We are not going to divide or weaken them, but we want to participate more actively in the Assembly so that our presence is felt and voice is heard. And only through that voice balanced development can come about,” he asserted.
Stating that NPF has already appointed its office bearers in Arunahcal Pradesh also, he was hopeful that in the next state election of Arunachal, the party will be able to do well in the two Naga districts.
He further exhorted all aspiring candidate to be serious about the party principles and policies. “We know that integration is our birth right, and it is our fundamental right,” he said adding that Nagas belong to the same family and we are Nagas by blood and not by choice. Even if we do not come together, even if we are quarrelling among ourselves, we still remain Nagas and therefore if we don’t learn how to live and work together, we’ll have only ourselves to blame.
Stating that many of the aspiring candidates were ex-MLAs and Ministers, he said even if you could bring about so many developments in your own areas, there is still much more room for improvement. “If all of you can stand together and have one voice, then you can become a formidable force and in that case we hope Meiteis, since they are more advance then us as of now, they will understand and play the role of a big brother. Therefore, we have to see that democratically we exert our force/power so that we bring about balance development, he quipped.
The NPF supremo also maintained that in the past even if all this 20 A/Cs were represented in the Assembly, they were divided into different political parties and therefore they become associates only and there was no sense of ownership for those people, but this they have to come together to have the sense of ownership.
Keeping in mind the big number of aspiring candidates applying for NPF Party ticket, he wished that some of them withdraw their application but continue to support the only candidate who will be given the final ticket. Having too many candidates in the A/C is like creating compartments within themselves, and since NPF will be facing Congress and other political parties and if we create compartments, we are weakening ourselves, so some of you have to become king makers for the sake of the party and aspiring candidates should ponder upon it seriously, he said.
He also requested candidates not to hesitant in filing nomination as the ECI has to give some clearance and only after that NPF candidates will file nomination by 8 or 9 of January. He also requested those of candidates who do not get party ticket should support the official candidates getting the Party ticket so that they come back winning in the election.
Meanwhile, clarifying a query from the aspiring candidates, Dr. Shürhozelie said NPF will continue to maintain the good relationship with all the groups, including underground and overground but it will not accept the dictate from anybody while issuing the NPF Party ticket for Manipur elections.
Former NLA Speaker Z. Lohe exhorting the gathering on behalf of the NPF Core Committee for Manipur election said the first ever decision of NPF President Dr. Shürhozelie and Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio to expand the regional party to other States in 48 years of Nagaland Statehood is magnanimous.
He said the decision to expand was not because NPF is rich but because it has the confidence and that Naga people are rich in cohesion, understanding and solidarity.
He also cited that NPF is the right party to take up the cause of Naga people in Manipur as it posterity would curse the present Naga generation if they use the name of national organization or NGOs fighting for the cause of Naga people.
NPF Secretary General K. G. Kenye administered the pledge to the aspiring candidates to remain faithful to the Party and work for the winning prospects of the official candidate even if they are denied of the ticket to contest in the election. He also informed that gathering that he would be rushing down to Delhi to seek the permission from ECI to allow the NPF candidates to use the cock symbol in the ensuing election so that they would be able to file the nomination from January 8, 2012.

‘No force can stop us from living together’ Our Correspondent | Eastern Mirror
SENAPATI, Naga People’s Front President Dr Shürhozelie Liezietsu today stated that no force can stop Nagas from living together while calling upon the United Naga Council (UNC) to come out openly and extent its support toward the fight for the rights of the Naga people.
Addressing a group of tribal leaders from the Naga hill districts of Manipur at UNC Hall in Senapati this afternoon, the veteran regionalist said, “Nagas being a family want to live together as one, no force can stop us’. Stating that UNC should discontinue the orthodox idea of being a neutral body during the coming Manipur state elections, he said they should come out openly in support of the NPF candidates and ask its units also to extend the same.
Maintaining that the forthcoming election would be considered as a referendum by other parties, including the Manipur Government, he said it is the right opportunity for the Nagas to show whether we want to be integrated and live together as a family or continue to live divided in separate imaginary boundaries. “We belong to the same family and if we want to live together no force can stop us,” he reiterated.
He also appealed all the tribal Hohos, church organisations and other frontal organisations to actively support the NPF candidates in the forthcoming election so that they come out with flying colours.
Shürhozelie also asserted that it was not necessary to always talk about being suppressed by the Meiteis and challenged the Nagas in Manipur to work in such a way that they exert themselves as a force. Stating that this time they are contesting in only 14 constituencies, he however pointed out that the hill area has 20 seats and if all can come together and work together then 20 people in a 60 member house will become a formidable force. They can make their presence felt in the Assembly, their voice will be heard and that is all we want, the NPF president said.
NSCN (K) blames rival for current situation
Asks civil society to stop ‘unnecessary meddling’ Eastern Mirror
DIMAPUR, (EMN): While laying the blame for the fresh spurt of factional violence solely at the door of its rival group, the NSCN/GPRN (Khaplang) has also asked civil society to restrain itself from ‘unnecessary meddling’ in the hitherto peaceful existences of the designated camps.
In a release issued by its MIP, the outfit said on the issue of violation of ceasefire ground rules by NSCN cadres as alleged by various civil societies, law enforcing agencies, Indian paramilitary etc, ‘the ground realities needed to be thoroughly acquainted with’ while adding that the recent spurt in violence in several pockets of Nagaland has to do with non-observance of CFGR by rival Khehoi group.
Stating that the ‘genesis’ of the conflict and the consequent chain reaction must be laid bare before the Nagas to ponder over and to hold accountable those responsible, it maintained that the Khole-Kitovi group’s ‘unilateral abrogation of Covenant of Reconciliation’ was the flash point that led to ignition of the ongoing armed clashes, loss of precious lives and injuries to several innocent civilians. It mentioned the Dec 19 Naharbari incident as ‘catalyst’.
On the prevailing tension particularly in Zunheboto District, the NSCN (K) said it was a direct outcome of the ‘illegal militarization’ of civilian populated area of Amiphoto colony in Zunheboto town by the Khehoi group since the past five-six months. It pointed out that the said Amiphoto colony is purely a civilian inhabited sector and not a designated camp or officially approved location for occupation by any armed group. However, it alleged that the Khehoi camp was being provided with round the clock security blanket at the colony Assam Rifles, IRB and civil societies ever since deterioration of situation.
On the other hand, it claimed that the NSCN (K) and NSCN (IM) are not even permitted to station around the villages or town’s vicinity. On this, the outfit questioned the ‘Civil Societies, district administration, Para-military, the State Government and the GoI” under whose patronage or what arrangement the Khehoi group was being allowed to occupy the public colony for more than half a year.
It further maintained that the presence of more than 50 armed Khehoi cadres at Amiphoto was the cause of conflict and tension in Zunheboto. It, therefore, said the Khehoi cadres should be asked to immediately vacate Amiphoto and return to its designated camp to restore normalcy. “If not, both the NSCN’s (K and IM) have every right to maintain status-quo in Zunheboto town and the district as per the ceasefire agreement with GoI and the ‘COR’, it stated.
Asking the civil societies to also understand that the designated camps are exclusively pertaining to NSCN and GoI ceasefire arrangement, and that the necessity of such camps at certain convenient locations is purely to expedite peace and political process, the NSCN (K) asserted that the civil societies to ‘restrain itself from unnecessary meddling in the hitherto peaceful existences of the designated camps, merely due to illegal intrusion by Khehoi camp in the off-limit public areas’.
Clarifies on Kohima firing
With regard to the firing at Agri colony in Kohima on Dec 29, the NSCN (K) maintained that the incident was purely an ‘unprovoked drunken display of firepower on innocent bystanders out of desperation by Khehoi criminals and the NSCN cadre assaulted upon did not fire a single shot in retaliation’. It further said when its cadre escaped unhurt, the attackers comprising of Lt Nikhuvi, 2nd Lt Isak, Sgt maj Hotoshe resorted to indiscriminate firing all.
Asking the Nagas to judge for themselves ‘the actual aggressors and the genuine Naga national workers’, the NSCN (K) maintained that the Khehoi camp should publicly apologise and vacate Kohima once and for all so that public peace and security may not be threatened in future. EMN
Naga Reconciliation and Unity
An Open Statement to the Naga People
We, the signatory governments of this Open Statement declare to the Nagas and before God that we are committed to Naga Reconciliation and we remain firm in our pledge to cultivate understanding and work towards building a shared Naga Future. Our longing to fulfill the necessity for Naga reconciliation has been embodied in the “Naga Concordant” where our top leaders have agreed in principle to form one Naga National Government on the basis of our historical and political rights as a sovereign people.
The long drawn internal strife within the Naga movement has divided and polarized the Naga nation. This deplorable political condition was exploited by external forces with devastating effect. Nagas lost many capable and committed leaders. Not only did we inflict much hurt on each other, but our society suffered as a whole. It germinated much suspicion, bitterness and caused a vicious cycle of vengeance, which threatened our very existence as a nation. It was the darkest days in recent memory.
However, over the decades, numerous initiatives for reconciliation by Naga Churches and civil society enabled us to take slow and measured steps towards reaching a point where we were prepared to meet each other face to face. Finally, in 2008, with the formation of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation a decisive push towards reconciliation was made. FNR with its wealth of knowledge, experience and as a neutral body performed the role of an active facilitator and ably guided the reconciliation process to this point. Their timely intervention has by and large reduced violence between us. The signing of the Covenant of Reconciliation and subsequently the Naga Concordant are historic milestones in the Naga Reconciliation: A Journey of Common Hope.
There is now no turning back for us from this path of Naga Reconciliation. In the spirit of forgiveness we have agreed to let bygones be bygones and we are now prepared to understand each other and work for a shared Naga future. This does not mean there will not be any hurdles and difficulties before us. In fact the path to Naga Reconciliation is filled with many challenges. We believe that with the support and understanding of the people, we are certain to overcome all obstacles.
Today, the Naga people have the best opportunity to reconcile and march together as a nation towards our historical and political rights. None of us should remain silent in times such as this. Every Naga needs to constructively contribute and participate to make this Reconciliation process a living reality. The Naga nation needs each and every one of you. On our part we also admit that the behavior of our cadres have been contrary to the values of the Naga movement. We seek your forgiveness and we hope that for the healing of our nation, you will forgive us. Let us march together to the future.
At this juncture, we jointly raise three specific points for public understanding:
1. A number of individuals have been regularly expressing their views on the Naga Reconciliation process in the local media. We are troubled because their views and opinions are often factually incorrect and at times driven by self-preservation. The hypothesis they present are far from the reality and intent of the reconciliation process and therefore very misleading to the people. Such statements are detrimental for reconciliation. The Naga Reconciliation has come this far against much odds and it is our appeal that the people recognize the sensitivity of the process. The Naga politicians, bureaucrats, intellectuals, organizations and people are urged not to play divisive politics anymore. Rather let us work together for the common good of all.
2. The signatories are equally appalled by so called ‘Christmas Gift’ in the form of a “Naga Supra State,” which is supposedly proposed by the Government of India. We place on record that Nagas are not seeking or demanding any ‘gift’ from India. Nagas are only resisting against forces that are preventing us to exercise our historical and political rights. To clear any confusion or suspicion in the minds of the Naga people, we therefore jointly declare that any resolution to the Naga issue should be based on the historical and political rights of the Naga people. We will continue to reject and oppose any solution or package that is imposed upon the Naga people.
3. To this end, with full trust, we are committed to continue supporting the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) in its “Journey of common Hope.”
We take this opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Let us unite together and work hard to make the Naga nation worthy of the blessings we have been endowed with.
Kuknalim!

Cong: Home Minister has failed to protect innocent civilians morungexpress
Dimapur, (MExN): While expressing its dismay over the “return of factional wars in the state” the Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) today criticized the Home Minister Imkong L. Imchen for failing in “his political duty and responsibility to protect the live of the innocent civilians.” The NPCC insinuated that the home minister constantly considers all confrontations between the underground groups as ‘political in nature’ even though it may involve the security, lives and properties of the innocent citizens.
“As the Home Minister, where is the space for him to appeal or urge? He should act,” the NPCC said in a statement today. The NPCC expressed loss and anguish that Imchen had now turned out to be a “Home minister” who, every time factional clashes break out, blames the public for “non cooperation” rather than protecting them. “The Home Minister’s job demands man of wisdom and high intellectual caliber who can command any given situation decisively. The people of Nagaland don’t find these elements in Imkong L. Imchen. He is thoroughly unfit for the job. If he can’t deliver the goods, he should resign or the Chief Minister should drop him from his council of ministers before any more life is lost,” the Congress said.
The Congress said “It is understood that any confrontation between the Indian army and Naga armed cadres are political in nature because the GoI had declared and acknowledged that the Naga problem is a political problem. Imkong L. Imchen’s understanding is that, all factional clashes are also political in nature. This makes him hesitant to act. He can’t act because his hands are tied. He is simply helpless.”
The NPCC expressed dismay at the upsurge of factional wars in the state and condemned the incidents that took place in Dimapur, Zunheboto and Kohima during the past two weeks. “The incidents causing injury to the civilians, loss of lives and damage to private and public properties are unacceptable by the people of Nagaland. It also extends its condolences to the bereaved family members and wishes for early recovery of the injured,” NPCC stated.
The upheavals are testimony of the complete breakdown of the law and order machinery in Nagaland, the Congress said. “The hesitant Home Minister Shri. Imkong L. Imchen has miserably failed in his political duty and responsibility to protect the live of the innocent civilians. Every time factional fights take place, the Home Minister either blames the public for non-cooperation or sends out his appeal for maintaining peace. As the Home Minister, where is the space for him to appeal or urge? He should act. Governance is his responsibility,” the Congress reiterated.
“Gun-totting underground cadres are moving freely among civilians; this indicates complete lack of co-ordination between the various arms of Nagaland’s law enforcement agencies including the ceasefire-monitoring cell,” the NPCC reminded. “It also proved total failure in round the clock vigil and intelligence gathering. As the Home Minister, he is entirely responsible for the breakdown in the law and order situation. He can’t shy away from or shift his responsibility.”
NPF to field candidates in 11 Naga dominated constituencies Aspiring candidates swear to withdraw if denied ticket Hueiyen News Service
Imphal, Keeping the demand for an 'alternative arrangement' for the Nagas in the forefront, Naga People's Front (NPF), a Political Party based in Nagaland, is all set to field candidates in 11 Naga inhabited Assembly segments of Manipur.

The meeting was jointly presided over by Dr.Shurhozelie Liezietsu, President NPF and G Gaingam, President, NPF, Manipur State Unit.
The meeting unanimously resolved to field candidates in all 11 Naga inhabited Assembly Segments of Manipur.
The 56 aspiring candidates from 11 Naga inhibited Assembly Constituencies who are lobbying for NPF ticket reportedly swore to withdraw from contesting in the election in case the NPF tickets were denied to them.
Among the candidates lobbying for NPF ticket include MLA Awangbou Newmai; Kho John, former leader of UNC; Somi Keishing and some other Naga MLAs.
A member of NPF told Hueiyen Lanpao that there are proposals from some aspiring candidates for grant of party tickets for contesting the election from Saikul, Kangpokpi and Saitu, the three Assembly segments under Senapati district, where both Nagas and Kukis inhabit.
If the tickets were granted to these constituencies the number of constituencies where the NPF will field its candidates will increase to 14 and majority of the candidates will come out successful.
If not the single largest party, the NPF will come out as the second single largest party in the coming polls and the Nagas will be able to hold a big place in Manipur State Assembly, the NPF member expressed confidence.
The NPF member further revealed that almost all Naga organizations will be supporting the NPF candidates.
Even Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio is all set to start political campaigns in Manipur.
The NPF Member observed that NPF is the only regional party of the Nagas recognized by the Election Commission of India.
The primary aim of the NPF is to integrate the scattered Nagas as one and bring them together under one administrative unit.
The Nagaland State Assembly had also resolved to unite the Nagas in 1964 .
Dr.Shurhozelie Liezietsu, at the meeting held at Naga Taphou Community Hall, Senapati Head Quarter exhorted all the party men, ticket seekers and the public to strive for opening the first account of the party in Manipur and said NPF is an old political party that stands for the rights of the Nagas as well as the indigenous people of the Northeast.
He further said that so far the Nagaland State Assembly has passed resolution on Naga integration for four times since 1964 .
"NPF has not done any harm to other communities of Manipur when it talks about Naga integration because it is our birthright", he maintained.
Talents of the Naga youths have become dull due to lack of facilities and proper infrastructures in the hill areas of Manipur, Dr.Shurhozelie Liezietsu asserted, adding that if voted to power in the coming general election, the party will raise the voice of the Nagas in Manipur Legislative Assembly.
Z Lohe, Political Advisor to the Nagaland Chief Minister appealed to all party men not to misuse the name of any social organization while working for the party, and added that NPF believes in maintaining communal harmony and equal rights for the tribal people.
NPF Secretary General K.G.Kenye, while appealing to the people of the state, particularly the Nagas, to vote for NPF to realize the long cherished dream of the community, pointed out that there are around 700 different political parties registered with the Election Commission of India but NPF is the only party wherein the word 'Naga" is found.
