The Naga people have been engaged in a struggle for our political existence and survival as a nation for many generations. In the course of our struggle, every now and then, the Naga people’s will and determination has been tested and tried; but never has it been defeated. The present context is another one such instance.
For this reason, the Kedahge, Brig (Retd) S Singnya and all ranks and files of NNC/FGN commit ourselves to the following principles.
1. Reconciliation of the Naga political groups is a necessity for the political existence and future of the Naga people as a nation. No matter how hard, tedious and challenging, we remain committed to reconcile on the basis of the historical and political rights of the Nagas. To be reconciled, the political groups need to trust one another and should be willing to understand each other and work towards for our common cause. The NNC/FGN is steadfast to the Naga Reconciliation process and we stand by the Resolutions of the Naga Reconciliation Meeting held in Dimapur, on February 29, 2012.
2. The lands of the Naga people have been arbitrarily divided first by the British colonial forces and then by India. The Naga people and land haven separated by imposed boundaries, but outside forces have been able to subdue our desire to live as one and to decide the Naga destiny together. The NNC/FGN affirms our committed to the integration of all Naga people.
3. The freedom to decide our own future without any external interference has been the basic tenet of Naga life. Therefore the NNC/FGN remains committed to the Sovereign right of the Naga people. We affirm that the Naga Declaration of Independence in 1947 and the Naga Voluntary Plebiscite is the foundation on which the Naga future should be decided.
