Imphal: Unhappy with the violence incidents, the Zeliangrong Union of Assam, Manipur and Nagaland (ZU-AMN) today reiterated its earlier appeal to Naga underground organizations to answer to its proposal with certain initiatives.
ZU-AMN president Dinkambui told NNN this morning over phone from Tamenglong that in order to felicitate in bringing peace in the Zeliangrong areas, his organisation had proposed to the NSCN-IM, NSCN-K and the NNC with 4/5 points of initiatives but it was only the NSCN-IM that had fed back to the proposal dispatched by the ZU-AMN.
The increasing violent cases in the Zeliangrong areas recently has compelled the ZU-AMN again to appealed the two Naga UG outfits who had not given response to the union’s call for peace, feed back to the proposals so as to do away the violent path once and for all.
Appealing with despair, Dinkambui has said that killing among the brethren would not solve any problem but it would amount to make things more complicated.
The ZU president stated that the path of Christianity is non-violence “and we are all Christians and that killing is not the path that we should tread on”.
Dinkambui further expressed that under the reconciliation programme of the Naga Hoho, the ZU-AMN had also undertaken the measures to shun violence.
The Zeliangrong Union’s reiteration for peace appealing to the underground organisations comes in the wake of the ongoing clashes between the NSCN factions in Tamenglong district.
The clashes between the two factions have been ongoing since December-2005 in the district. Reports of clashes have been received from time to time even today.
The worst affected villages due to the clashes have been the Makhom/Marangjing village and its adjoining areas near Noney.
The latest cases being reported from Khoupum area of Tamenglong district. Unconfirmed reports said that there have been problems between the cadres of NSCN-IM and the NSCN-K in the area some four/five days ago.
No contacts could be made to ascertain the reports of factional clashes in the Khoupum.
