Kohima, April 8 (MExN): The Naga Hoho today informed that when the whole world is combating a pandemic -COVID-19, a joint military operation is being conducted by the Governments of Myanmar and India in the north western parts of the Naga Self-Administered Zone (SAZ) bordering India in Sagaing region of Myanmar.
A press release from the Naga Hoho communication cell stated that people from these villages are appealing to both the governments for peace, tranquility and development in the field of education, healthcare and socio economy in Naga hills and not war.
The Naga Hoho extended solidarity to the Naga brethren in the region and called upon the two governments to cease all military operations. “It only impacts the lives of the ordinary men and women who are made to live in constant fear and trauma borne out of years of war and conflict in their homeland,” it stated.
It pointed out that in view of the global pandemic, the United Nations Secretary General has also called upon armed groups across the world for a global ceasefire “which has been supported by many ambassadors worldwide.”
“This same spirit must also apply to India and Myanmar governments as well,” the Naga Hoho appealed.
