Rival Naga extremist groups have refreshed a 13-year-old reconciliation treaty to “move forward” together for an honourable solution to the ‘Naga political issue’.
The issue pertains to the peace deal signed between the Centre and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim or the NSCN (Isak-Muivah) and the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) comprising seven other organisations, including the factions of the Myanmar-based Khaplang group.
On September 14, the NSCN (I-M) represented by retired “General” V.S. Atem and the NNPGs represented by its coordinator Alezo Venuh signed a document reaffirming the Covenant of Reconciliation of June 13, 2009, in the first meeting facilitated by the Forum for Naga Reconciliation after eight years.
