Sumi Hoho urges GoI, NSCN (K) to resume ceasefire

Zunheboto, September 4 (MExN): The Sumi Hoho has once again urged upon the Government of India and NSCN (K) to resume ceasefire as “it is only through dialogue and not violence that can solve the long pending Indo-Naga issue.” This appeal comes following the ambush on convoy of 5 Assam Rifles by NSCN (K) near Aghunato Town between Luvishe village and Ghokishe village in Zunheboto district on September 2, where four AR jawans were reportedly injured. 

The Sumi Hoho and its frontal organizations, including the Sumi Kukami Hoho, Sumi Totimi Hoho, and Sumi Kiphimi Kuqhakulu, “vehemently” condemned the ambush. “The incident was never expected and uncalled for,” stated a press release from Toniho Yepthomi, President and Vihuto Asumi, General Secretary of Sumi Hoho. “When Nagas are crying for peace and yearning for honourable and acceptable solution, intimidation is against the wish and voice of the people,” it asserted.
