East Mojo reports on November 21 that National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Unification (NSCN-U) has recruited over 1,000 members in October 2019. Hotoi Zhimomi, the NSCN-U ‘secretary’ Cease Fire Monitoring Board (CFSB) stated that “Yes, of course, recruitments are going on. But we have not forced anybody to join our group nor have we forced anybody to go for training”. When queried about the speculations that over 200 cadres are being recruited, Zhimomi said, “Thousands of Nagas are joining. They are coming for recruitment. Even as we are facing problem (with the huge recruitment) ...we cannot be selfish at this juncture because we are working for the Nagas. We are not working for our own benefit. When asked about the NSCN (IM) questioning the recruitment of 80 Kukis at Khehoi Camp, he said, “We are not discriminating any tribe. Those who are willing to join, we cannot send them back. If they are willing to join, we can’t deny their rights since we are working for the Nagas in general.”
