Dimapur, December 24 (MExN): All the underground workers from the NSCN-IM, NSCN-K and FGN/NNC (non-accordists) in the “eastern” areas, endorses unification of all Nagas regardless of ‘territorial demarcation.’ This declaration was made on December 18 in a ‘summit’ held under the initiative of the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organization (ENPO), Tuensang, where several resolutions were undertaken. The resolutions are to be implemented ‘sincerely’, adhered to and upheld in the common interest and commitment to the unity of Nagas, a copy of the resolutions stated.
“In principle,” the ENPO, the “Eastern Naga National Workers Union” of the NSCN-IM, “Eastern Naga National Workers Association” of the NSCN-K and the NNC/FGN (non-accordists) from the ‘eastern’ areas under the ENPO’s jurisdiction resolved to “support” unification of all Nagas regardless of “territorial demarcation.”
There should be no bloodshed, threat, intimidation or any form of violence within the ENPO’s jurisdiction, inclusive of Naga territories in Myanmar, the copy stated. “The ENPO shall not extend any public cooperation to any factions/group for non-compliance of the above and ENPO shall also question the same” the organizations stated. The same appeal is made to all Nagas.
Further consultative meetings among the said underground groups as well as the ENPO in the “eastern” areas will resolve to be held as and when the need arises. “We solemnly affirm and pledge to implement, abide and uphold the above resolutions in good spirit and faith” the copy stated. The ‘summit’ made a prayerful appeal to all Naga undergrounds from “eastern” Nagaland to earnestly deliberate on the issue of Naga unification and other related issues and to this effect, independently share views, opinions and endeavor towards the same.
