Okotso village / Wokha District

The GPRN/NSCN-U, while warning the AR, in a press
note vehemently condemned the "ambush and brutal killing of its
cadre and causing injury to another by" at Okotso village in Wokha
District. While making it clear that there was no excuse "for
such an action on the part of the so called friends of the hilly
people", GPRN/NSCN-U said it was an act of cowardice and a direct
provocation of the Naga Army to resume hostility despite the existence
of ceasefire and laid down ground rules. GPRN/NSCN-U said section
of the Naga army, keeping in mind and respecting the ground rules
between Government of India and GPRN/NSCN-U, on the orders of
the high command had vacated their makeshift camp and were heading
towards designated camp when the AR ambushed the Naga Army, violating
the ceasefire ground rules. "If the so called friends of the hill
people acts like rogues in uniform, the Naga Army will respond
in a befitting manner", GPRN/NSCN cautioned.
The NSCN-U, like the NSCN-R and the NSCN-IM, has
signed a ceasefire pact with the Government of India. The ceasefire
agreement is renewed every year in April.

Nagaland

The NSCN-U said it will seek solution for the
Nagas in the State. A senior functionary of the outfit, Kughalu
Mulatonu, said talks with the Centre would start soon but they
would seek solution only for the Nagas of Nagaland. Mulatonu,
convener of the NPAC, said talks would be transparent unlike the
NSCN-IM, which has kept the current talks top secret. Rebutting
the NSCN-IM statement that it is the sole representative of the
people, Mulatonu asked the rival faction to stay away from the
affairs of Nagas of Nagaland. "We will seek solution for them.
Let NSCN-IM seek solution for Nagalim," he said.
The NSCN-IM has been demanding "Nagalim", comprising
the Naga-inhabited areas of Nagaland, Manipur, Assam, Arunachal
Pradesh and Myanmar. Mulatonu asked outsiders (Nagas of other
states) not to decide the fate of Nagas of Nagaland. The NSCN-U,
which is likely to start talks by March 2017, said the issue of
sovereignty would be on the cards. Mulatonu said talks would be
between two entities and the NSCN-IM had no business to interfere.
"Why should we take permission from them?" he asked. He said the
outfit has started its homework and consultations with Naga NGOs.
