‘All Nagas must be part of unification’
In the backdrop of the so-asserted “unification” of the “NSCN,” Western Yimchungru Hoho and Western Yimchungru GBs’ Union have stated that all the Nagas must be a part of the unification. A meeting was held on November 29 at old Showba under the initiative of the Western Yimchungru Hoho and Western Yimchungru GBs’ Union where the “factional unification” from the two NSCNs was deliberated upon. While the meeting resolved to encourage and support the efforts initiated by members of both the NSCNs for “unification” to end killings and bloodshed and misunderstanding amongst the Nagas, the meeting also resolved that all Nagas must be a part of the unification process. This was stated in a joint press note appended by WYH president S Tokiu, general secretary H Lakiumong and chairman of the WYGBU Rejang.
