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.
