Dimapur, December 13 (MExN): The Sumi Hoho and the Western Sumi Hoho laments that “unknown” organizations and individuals including the NSCN-IM have been continuously charging the Sumi bodies of having an agenda in the “unification” move. Stating that the allegations are unfounded, unwarranted and “concocted with ulterior motives” the WSH claimed that “hitherto unknown” organizations and individuals are out to derail the “unification” process. The “unification” process was brought about by “like-minded” factional leaders in response to the call of the “Nagas” the Sumi Hoho and the WSH claimed in a note issued by Sumi Hoho president Hokishe Yepthomi and WSH general secretary Akavi Zhimomi. However, the Sumi bodies also expressed support the unification process initiated by the Nagaland GBs and DBs as endorsed by the Naga Hoho. Appealing to all in concern irrespective of “tribal affiliation,” region and political affiliations and churches to “grasp” the move, the hohos advised not to be “bogged down by silly assumptions” and narrow considerations. “…let us not (stoop) so low so that our adversaries take advantage of us; let us not create suspicion among ourselves and let us stand tall in our resolve to face the future challenges” the hohos stated.
