Solution to Assam Rifles-NSCN (I-M) impasse soon (NPN) Staff Reporter Nagaland Post

DIMAPUR, There were indications that the current impasse in the aftermath of the April 19 incident near Hebron camp that led to seizure of five weapons and ammunition of the Assam Rifles by the NSCN (I-M) and consequent erection of check gates by Assam Rifles on all routes leading to designated camps of the NSCN (I-M) including Hebron, could be resolved.

In this regard, there were hectic parleys between NSCN (I-M) representatives and Cease-fire Monitoring Group chairman Maj Gen (retd) N. George wherein it was learnt the NSCN (I-M) indicated it was willing to barter weapons it seized from the Assam Rifles with weapons of its cadres which security forces seized on several occasions.

NSCN (I-M) leaders led by its convenor, steering committee V S Atem, convenor cease-fire monitoring cell (CFMC) Vikiye Awomi, senior NSCN (I-M) leader K Chawang and member Cease-fire Monitoring Cell S. Among met CFMG chairman Monday here at Chumukedima Police complex.

An hour into the meeting, CFMG chairman left the meeting venue to seek confirmation from higher authority but after waiting for more than four hours, NSCN (I-M) leaders had to leave without a concrete conclusion to the meeting.

It was learnt that the matter has now reached the office of Director General Military Operations (DGMO) and the meeting which had an abrupt ending was likely to resume Tuesday.

In the short deliberation, Atem said that both the Government of India and NSCN (I-M) were keen to end as it was not a “big deal”. He also assured the only problem that stood on the way was just “a matter of attitude”.
Atem refused to divulge details of the meeting, while another senior NSCN (I-M) leader.

When contacted, CFMG chairman Maj. Gen. (retd) N. George said during the meeting NSCN (I-M) and CFMG “mutually” arrived at an “arrangement” and for which he required “clearance” from Delhi for the arrangement to work out.

While not denying that the “clearance” has been passed, Cease-fire Monitoring Group chairman was hopeful a solution would be worked out by Tuesday and that both the parties would “start the process”.

NMA meets IGAR
Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) Monday called on IGAR(N) at Kohima to express concern over the build up of armed forces around designated camps of NSCN(I-M) including Hebron.

NMA secretary Lochumbeni Humtsoe purportedly demanded from the IGAR for the immediate withdrawal of security forces from the areas in the “interest of peace and security” of civilians and to avoid undue harassment on civilians caused through setting up of check gates by AR.

NMA disclosed that the IGAR assured its delegation that he had issued instructions to all officers “not to harass the public in any way” and that the peace talks would not be affected. NMA said the IGAR also informed that “the minute” the arms of the five AR men were returned, the security forces around the area would be withdrawn.

Later in the afternoon, NMA said its delegation also met NSCN (I-M) commander-in-chief at Hebron where he made it clear that AR had made the “error and had tendered” an apology.

NMA said it suggested NSCN (I-M) may return the five fire arms in the interest of the safety of the public and avoid any undue confrontation.

NMA also disclosed that its team members were witness to the two check gates on the road to Hebron where they were continuously stopped and questioned about their identities.

NMA said these happed despite having informed AR authority that its delegation was on the way to hold talks with the NSCN(I-M). The association in its meeting Monday also resolved to appeal to AR and NSCN (I-M) to meet in an atmosphere without any “armed threat”.
NMA meets HM
NMA said that the association met home minister and discussed the impasse between NSCN (I-M) and AR and sought the attention on the state government on the same. The NMA delegation was led by the president Abeiu Meru, advisor Rosemary Dzuivchu, advisory board member Angela Yhome, secretary, NMA Lochumbeni Humtsoe and joint secretary, Sawmi Leyri.
Ao Senden flays
Ao Senden has termed the April 19 action of the Assam Rifles as “provocative” also expressed strong condemnation over alleged violation of cease-fire ground rules (CFGR).

Senden president Dr. Sangyu Yaden and general secretary Tsupong Longchar accused Major Sukanta “a Meitei officer from Manipur” of having a “hidden political design”.

The signatories alleged that Maj. Sukanta forced the five jawans to cross the perimeter with arms and ammunition. They also questioned the role of joint secretary MHA (NE) Shambu Singh “an IAS officer from Manipur cadres” for the “direct violation” of CFGR.

They said such “evil design” was well known by the Government of India and CFMG chairman Maj. Gen. (retd) N. George, which threatened the hard earned peace process.

Senden also questioned the role of AR in encircling every designated camp, by making temporary bunkers, blocking entries and frisking and threatening Nagas in Naga inhabited areas. Senden also said such provocative actions indicated repetition of the same history that led to the abrogation of the 1964 cease fire.

Further the signatories cautioned that any derailment of the “hard earned cease fire” could lead to a possible “political deadlock as before” and only create a wider gap between the Government of India and the Naga populace.

They said such a situation could jeopardize the integrity of the region. It appealed to both the parties to uphold cease-fire agreement and expedite the ongoing “Indo-Naga political talk”.

NISC asks GoI to show ‘statesmanship’
Naga International Support Center (NISC) Monday called on the Government of India to let “common sense prevail” and show the statesmanship to resolve a long lasting conflict. In a statement, NISC claimed that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has proclaimed “no sovereignty and no reunification for the Nagas” and asked if Nagas would remain “silent”.

NISC stated that recognition of “unique history” of the Nagas by the Government of India meant that it acknowledged the Nagas had “no cultural, linguistic, religious, economic or communicative ties with it and were only connected because Britain colonized and ruled both”.

The center alleged that quite contrary to the peace talks and cease-fire ground rules, dozens of Naga leaders were arrested and “Naga military camps harassed”. It reminded that NSCN (I-M) leader Anthony Shimray continues to languish in “an Indian jail for crimes the Indian Government commits on a daily basis (procuring arms to wage war)”.

NISC reminded the Government of India that to “provoke the Nagas” meant that its policy would lead back to the “war nobody wants”.
AR-IM stand off still on, status quo continues, TNL apprises PM on ground rules Both sides bandy truce pact alibi, IM exhorts Nagas The Sangai Express
Imphal The stalemate continues with both the Assam Rifles and the NSCN (IM) holding each other responsible of violating the ceasefire ground rules.

While the Naga outfit has accused the Assam Rifles of wilfully trespassing on the Camp Hebron on April 19, Assam Rifles on the other hand has said that the camps of the NSCN (IM) remain surrounded to ensure that the cadres stick to the rules laid down by the Ceasefire Monitoring Group.

Speaking to The Sangai Express, a reliable source said that the camps of the NSCN (IM) are being surrounded and the movements of the cadres monitored to ensure that they do not violate the cease fire ground rules.

On the other hand the NSCN (IM) has accused the Assam Rifles of trespassing into their territory at Camp Hebron in total disregard of the cease fire ground rules.

The Tangkhul Naga Long, while asserting that it is the will, aspirations and desires of the Naga people to bring a negotiated settlement to the decades old Indo-Naga issue, has submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister to defuse the situation at Camp Hebron and other camps of the NSCN (IM) keeping in mind the ceasefire ground rules.

It is the will of the Nagas that the cease fire ground rules be honoured and respected for an early and peaceful solution to the decades old Naga issue, added TNL.

The Chandel Naga People's Organisation (CNPO), Naga Women Union, Chandel; and Naga Students' Union, Chandel (NSUC) have also called for peaceful settlement of the impasse at the earliest through the intervention of the Home Ministry.

In a statement, the Chandel Naga bodies said that the latest impasse has not only created fear psychosis among the general public, but also caused fear that the hard earned political dialogue between the two parties may go in vain.

Appealing both the parties to exercise maximum restrain and let the matter be resolved through negotiation, the Chandel apex organisations reminded that any sort of violence or confrontation has no place in a civilised society but rather creates animosity and misunderstanding which the people never desire.

Stating that the impasse has nothing to do with the Assam Rifles and NSCN (IM), the statement posited that the matter should be resolved with the intervention of GoI (Home Ministry) .

It added that the latest stalemate has caused a sense of insecurity and fear in Chandel district too and added that the people of Chandel desire a peaceful settlement at the earliest.

Meanwhile the NSCN (IM) has alleged that the Assam Rifles wilfully and provocatively trespassed Hebron Camp on April 19, and urged the Nagas to be prepared for any eventualities.

A statement issued to the press by the GPRN's MIP said no amount of excuses or explanations by the AR and other Indian Government agencies can justify or cover the crime.

It stated that it was a flagrant violation of cease-fire ground rules and the spirit of ceasefire agreement between the NSCN and the GoI.

Stating that the Assam Rifles are the instruments and the real actor is either the GoI or the Indian Army top establishments which have dangerous differences with their Government, the MIP statement asserted that the undeterred betrayal actions of Assam Rifles clearly indicate that there is a powerful back-up from the so-called High Command.

Alleging that during the 14 years of political dialogue these crimes had been committed from the Indian side, the statement contended that such actions show how GoI is sincere and committed as per their words.

As a big nation like India stooped to such a low standard which is fighting for a permanent member in the UNO security Council, it stated.

In Such a deepening crises when anything can happen, the so-called Chairman of the Cease-fire Monitoring group, Maj Gen George awkwardly tried to shy away his neutral and unprejudicial responsibilities, it maintained.

Coming down on the silence maintained by the Nagaland Government, the MIP statement wondered what the Nagaland Government has been doing all this time of crisis.

"The NPF Government in Nagaland boastfully claims as a facilitator in the peace process between the NSCN and the GoI.

But during such crisis and uncertainty what the Nagaland State government is doing?" it asked while adding that the NSCN is a political group only.

Contending that the dangerous consequence is threatening the entire population of the Nagas, the Naga people may ask why the State Government does not raise a voice in such a critical situation, it said.

"If any undesirable situation is created from today's crisis, the Government of Nagaland state should be squarely blamed by the Nagas," the MIP statement contended.

"More than 95% Nagas desire freedom from want and oppressions.

They have witnessed how GoI and its leaders are acting in political dialogue and the April 19th 2012 incident at Hebron is a good lesson for all the Nagas.

The other factions are talking about political dialogue with India, but they will certainly experience the same insincerity and false diplomacies from the GoI" .

"The said incident should be an eye opener for all sections of the Naga people.

The system of dictatorship and authoritarianism, oppression and suppression is speedily losing ground from the face of the world.

The Nagas are united in our desire for freedom and dignity of life. Therefore, let us again unite as before and fight with whatever is available at our command.

Let us not loss heart but be strengthened with difficult situations we are facing now," it urged.
Having learnt the real intention of India from the incident the Nagas should get prepared for any eventualities, the MIP urged.
PRESS STATEMENT ON THE EXCESSES COMMITTED BY ASSAM RIFLES

The Naga Women’s Union condemn the intrusion near the NSCM(IM) camp at Hebron on April 19 2012 by the 29th Assam Rifles (AR) that has led to a standoff for days despite the admittance by the chairman of ceasefire monitoring group that it was an aberration by the AR. The situation led to the deployment of AR forces not just around Hebron but to other Naga areas and such provocation suggest that Government of India intentionally is violating the ceasefire ground rules which is unfortunate.

We condemn the high handedness of the army and demand the suspension of Major Sukanta who was in charge of the command leading the Jawans towards hebron knowing well of the likely outcome and putting the ceasefire between the NCSN and the Government of India (GoI) at great risk. We demand that the army immediately stop frisking, raiding and harassing people especially in Dimapur and Kohima and strongly demand that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) that gives such uncontrolled authority to the army to even jeopardize ceasefires and peace processes not just in Nagaland but the whole northeast be revoked!

We also express our disgust and condemnation on the torture and the killing of captain Yaomi by the AR and in a time like this we would like to remind that the ceasefire between the GOI and NSCN came after long years of armed conflict that claimed thousands of lives; Indians and Nagas and effort should be made to maintain peace. We have suffered enough and too many precious lives have been lost and we will not allow any force to revert us back to the days of armed conflict and confrontation.

24 April 2012But will the Nagas remain silent? A Naga International Support Center, NISC A human rights organization

India wants war?
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh proclaims: No sovereignty and no reunification for the Nagas.
But will the Nagas remain silent?

Recognition of the unique History and Situation of the Nagas by the Government of India meant that India acknowledged the Nagas had no cultural, linguistic, religious, economic or communicative ties with it and were only connected because Britain colonized and ruled both.

This recognition was an important milestone in the peace talks between India and the Naga Peoples which led to renewed talks in favor of a desired solution to the almost six decades old conflict India initiated by invading entire Nagaland and by dividing it into the four states Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Assam.

Divide and rule while talking peace is how the Government of India tries to gain leverage but since the Nagas showed coherence and perseverance, if not patience, the talks went into a direction the hawks in the Indian Government did not aspire.

Or how else can it be explained that right after the announcement a solution in the proposed form of a Supra State was near, the Prime Minister of India stated that the Nagas would not get their sovereignty nor could they reintegrate or reunify to form the Naga nation (See Telegraph News here).

Then, quite in violation of the cease-fire ground rules, dozens of Naga leaders were arrested days ago and Naga Military camps harassed. If it was not enough, Anthony Shimray, the Foreign Command Naga leader languishes in an Indian jail for ‘crimes’ the Indian Government commits on a daily basis (procuring arms to wage war).

Considering these facts the Naga International Supports Center, NISC, reminds the Government of India that:
- to provoke the Nagas this much means that its policy will lead back to the war nobody wants
- to lead the Nagas into a costly war, loss of life as well as tremendous amounts of public funds in turn leads to domestic as well as international upheaval

NISC calls on the Government of India to let common sense prevail; show the statesmanship a long lasting conflict of this magnitude needs, so peace can be achieved. This way India could become a prime example of true democracy.

They extort and tax us is not appreciated, actually hate it too,!! However we know very well sometimes they are also suffering like anything, at times risk their lives and whatever........ when they are really into something concerning the whole nagas we have to give our voice and support them. When we say,' let them go to hell,' we are digging our own grave because our friends, relatives, tribes, etc etc are there.So if the war is on, we will be the ones to suffer more or less. We need to think openly and from different angles not only from one side. They are not plains manu..............Even we public do many wrong things in our day to day lives...........I do too....... So what I want to share is that we should not hate people instead hate their bad deeds and love their good deeds..........everyone has good side and bad side etc ,etc you know it ..........just look into the matter with a broader sense.........................................(just my view)

OFFICE OF THE AO SENDEN: HQRS. MOKOKCHUNG
PRESS RELEASE
Dated 23th April, 2012.

The Ao Senden, the apex body of Civil Societies of the Ao community having noticed a highly provocative political strategy initiated by 29 Assam Rifles on 19th April, 2012 is constrained with great concern to express the followings:

1) That, the Ao Senden strongly condems the provocative action of 29 Assam Rifles on 19th April, 2012 wherein, under the hidden political design, one Shambu Singh an IAS officer from Manipur State cadre posted under the MHA(NE)as Joint Secretary incharge of NE, commanded by another Meitei officer from Manipur, AR Major Sukanta under whose direction, 5 Assam Rifle Jawans were forced to enter crossing the parameter of the Camp Hebron with arms and ammunition without any information. This is a direct violation of the CF Ground Rules.
2) The Ao Senden observes that such kind of evil design is well known by GOI and CFMG under the Chairmanship of Maj Gen.(Retd) N. George during whose tenure, the hard earned peace process is threatened violating the CF ground rules.
3) While political negotiation is under way between the GOI and collective leadership of NSCN (I.M), and the Cadres are housed in the designated camps; the Ao Senden question as to why the AR should encircle, every designated camps, making temporary bungers blocking entries, frisking and threatening the innocent Naga citizens throughout the Naga inhabited areas. All such provocative actions of the Indian Armed Forces indicate repetition of the same history breaking the CF Agreement of 1964.
4) The Ao Senden further observes that derailing the present hard earned CF that may be followed by a possible Political Dead Lock as before will definitely bring a wider gap between the GOI and the Naga populace in future jeopardizing the integrity of the region which will cost India heavily.
5) We therefore, sincerely appeal to both the parties to uphold Cease-Fire Agreement and expedite the ongoing Indo-Naga political talk at the earliest.
6)
Dated 23rd April,. 2012.
