Police on December 1 claimed that a section of militants belonging to the Karbi People’s Liberation Tigers (KPLT), including a top leader of the outfit, have expressed their willingness to come overground and join the mainstream, reports The Telegraph. “So far, we have received feelers from about 12 KPLT cadres, including its ‘general secretary’ Resim Lakthe, showing a desire to lay down arms and hold talks with the Government,” a senior police officer said. He said the number was likely to go up to 18. According to police estimates, the KPLT has a cadre strength of around 60. “Following this split, the anti-talks faction of the outfit will be left with anything between 40 and 45 cadres,” the source said. He added that Lakthe and three other KPLT militants are currently holding preliminary discussions with the government to pave the way for formal surrender of arms, which is likely to be held very soon. The outfit’s chairman, Ron Rongpi, may also join the peace process, he said.

Mizo and Bru civil societies at Mamit District have demanded that Bru refugees in Tripura should be given one last chance of returning to Mizoram, failing which they would forfeit the chance of returning to the State. “The meeting of Mizo and Bru leaders decided that the Bru refugee issue should be resolved once and for all and that one last effort should be made by the Government to repatriate all Brus from Tripura relief camps,” leaders of Young Mizo Association (YMA) said on December 2. They said that this was the demand at a meeting held on November 30 by village councils and NGOs at Mamit on the border with Tripura and Bangladesh. The meeting said that those refusing to return to Mizoram during the repatriation process should not be allowed to come back and they should remain in Tripura for the rest of their lives. It was alleged that some Brus living in relief camps were into abductions after acquiring arms and working under the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT).

on December 2 that a new Hmar outfit has surfaced as Hmar People’s Convention (HPC–P) which is a breakaway faction of the HPC–D. At the initial stage, Lalminthang Sonate as ‘president’ has taken over the command of the outfit. J C Hmar is the ‘secretary’. An underground source said that a full body to head the organization will soon be constituted to give a new direction and dimension to the demand of the Hmars for a homeland of their own. The information available says that 115 cadres taken from the region of Hmar dominated areas of east Cachar and the bordering areas of Mizoram and Manipur form the strength of the outfit. All these cadres are undergoing training in arms and ammunitions and guerilla tactics under the supervision of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM) in some undisclosed location. HPC–P, the source adds to say, has taken shape against the policy of its parent body to continue dialogue without any tangible solution to their demand. While HPC–D has been insisting on Autonomous Council for the Hmar inhabited areas, HPC–P is demanding Hmarland.

on December 5 that the Centre has rejected the demand for introduction of ILP system in Meghalaya as it feels that there is no provision in the Constitution under which the ILP system can be enforced in new areas. “There is no provision in the Constitution to introduce ILP in any state. It can continue in states where it already exists as per the Constitution, or if need be it can be withdrawn. But we cannot introduce ILP anymore, anywhere else,” Joint Secretary (North East) in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs Shambhu Singh said.

A meeting with Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) leaders was “deferred” by Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh this week but hopes of a break-through remain alive ahead of 2014 general elections, reports The Sangai Express on December 7.Cancellation of the meeting, which was scheduled for December 4, has raised questions whether the move followed fears of disturbances in Manipur. Sources, however, said that the meeting was “cancelled” after warnings from security agencies that it could affect peace in Manipur but the NSCN has dismissed the suggestion. “The meeting was not cancelled, only deferred as chair- man (Isak Chisi Swu) is in Dimapur. Once he is back, the meeting will take place,” an NSCN source said. “We were promised that there will be something before the 2014 elections,” he added. Swu is in Dimapur for his son’s wedding and is likely to return soon.

The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) has suffered a major jolt when a section of its cadres under the leadership with Reading T Sangma, the former ‘finance secretary’ of the outfit, deserted camps and formed a new militant outfit GNLA-Faction (GNLA-F). Confirming this, Police sources, on December 7, said Reading has made South Garo Hills as his main area of operation. It is learnt that Reading was unhappy with the manner he was treated by ‘commander-in-chief’ of the outfit Sohan D Shira who demoted him from the post of ‘finance secretary’ to ‘grievance cell’ in charge. As the finance secretary of GNLA, Reading had to collect money and hand them over to Sohan. Reading’s grouse against Sohan was that the Sohan kept all the loot when he was the one who was collecting the money on behalf of the outfit. Interestingly, Jack Marak who had abducted Block Development Officer (BDO) of Dadengre recently, and other GNLA ‘area commanders’ have joined Reading’s group.

on December 9 that while the peace talk with a faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is likely to see a final settlement soon, it is still uncertain when the vexed Naga issue could be resolved, said Union Home Joint Secretary North East In-charge, Shambhu Singh. Talking exclusively to The Sangai Express, Shambhu Singh said that as of today, nothing is certain on what the outcome of the ongoing peace talks with the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) will be. Admitting that the dialogue with Isak-Muivah led faction of the Naga rebel group has not seen any concrete progress, the Joint Secretary said that the outfit has submitted their charter of demands in July 2011 after abandoning the demand for sovereignty, unification of Naga areas and Nagalim. He said that as there is need for involvement and consent of the Governments of Manipur, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland regarding the demands of NSCN-IM, the Centre is yet to give any reply to the Naga rebel group. On the other hand, dialogue with the pro-talk faction of ULFA has witnessed considerable progress and a final settlement may come soon, Shambhu Singh said. Although, the Joint Secretary refused to disclose the demands raised by ULFA, he said that it was related to the protection of the identity of Assamese people. Responding to a query regarding United Naga Council (UNC) demand for an ‘Alternative Arrangement’ (AA) outside Manipur Government pending a final solution to the Indo-Naga issue’, Shambhu Singh opined that the demand is quite hazy and explained that the Government of any State, including Manipur is made up by its people. Although, UNC has urged to upgrade the AA talk to a political level, the Centre has asked the State Government to resolve the matter with the UNC. Regarding the demand for a separate Kuki State, Shambhu Singh said that formation of a new State must be considered after assessing population, resources and area. A village is like a republic and these villages contribute to form India as a republic, he said.

suspected Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants, who allegedly crossed over from neighbouring Bangladesh with RDX, managed to give Meghalaya Police the slip in a late night encounter on December 9 in the South Garo Hills District. South Garo Hills superintendent of Police Davis N. Marak said, there were around seven to eight GNLA militants who had crossed over. While no casualty was reported from the Police side, it was unsure whether any of the militants were injured or killed. “Taking advantage of the darkness, the militants fled from the site,” he said. He also said according to intelligence inputs, the consignment, which was supposedly brought from across the border, contained RDX of high intensity. However, it was unclear whether the militants had retreated to Bangladesh or had managed to sneak into the Garo hills region.

The Shillong Times reports that the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) has accused the State Government of indulging in partial treatment of its cadres, stating that most of its cadres are joining new outfits since the Government is sidelining the ANVC-B while providing all support to its parent outfit, ANVC. In a statement issued on December 9, ANVC-B leader, Doang D Shira said that after signing of the Peace Pact, ANVC-B cadres had come over ground but never received any support from the Government. “Mukul Sangma invited us to be part of the peace pact which we now see as a political ploy. Our response for peace is seen by the Government as a way to corner us,” the ANVC-B leader said, adding, “We came forward for peace but the Government’s failure to provide support and packages have disheartened our cadres.”

Security Forces (SFs) on December 11 killed two militants belonging to IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) at Raidangbari under Runikhata police station in Chirang District, reports The Telegraph. The deceased were identified as Jeremiya Narzary, a Class X student, and Pranjit Narzary, a Class VI student. A Class VII student, Nikodim Narzary, sustained serious injuries and has been sent to the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital. Chirang Superintendent of Police (SP), Ranjan Bhuyan, said both the deceased were members of the NDFB-IKS and an AK-47 rifle, 15 rounds of ammunition and a hand grenade had been recovered from them. “Nikodim could be either innocent or a linkman of the outfit. He seems to have sustained injuries in the crossfire. As far as the two slain militants are concerned, we are absolutely sure that they are members of the Songbijit faction of the NDFB and are suspected to have been involved in extortion and abductions in that area.” However, the killings have raised tension in the District and allegations of fake encounter were levelled against the SFs.

The United Revolutionary Front (URF) has conveyed gratitude to all the peasants who extended unstinted support to the outfit’s ‘Go Green Project’, reports The Sangai Express in December 12. A press release issued by the outfit’s publicity and information assistant secretary Poinu Luwang said that the outfit came to the path of peace on certain understanding with the Government leaving behind the demand for separation of Manipur from India. One of the foremost understandings was extension of all possible assistance to all projects taken up by the outfit in the interest of people. But so far, neither the State Government nor the Government of India has come forward with any kind of assistance. Even though leaders of groups under Suspension of Operation (SoO) pact have been issued gun licences and allowed to possess arms, no such permission has been given to URF leaders, it decried. Moreover, criminal cases registered against leaders of many militant groups now engaged in tripartite talks have been cancelled but URF leader Lanheiba Meitei is still compelled to present himself at the national Investigation Agency (NIA) Court, Guwahati (Assam) twice a month. It further urged the Government of India and all other concerned authorities to look into such discriminatory policies.

Police have launched a massive hunt to nab the assailants of two persons who were gunned down by suspected Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) at Gasuapara in South Garo Hills on the evening of December 15, reports Times of India. The victims were identified as Semion M Marak of Rongsigre and Sengwal D Sangma of Rongbokgre in the South Garo Hills. South Garo Hills Superintendent of Police (SP) Davis Nestell Marak said, "The killing was done in cold blood and it shows the desperation of the GNLA". The outlawed Garo terror group, which left a note by the bodies of their victims, had alleged that the duo was extorting money in their name. However, police have rubbished the GNLA's version. Police have no report whatsoever about the victims' involvement in any kind of extortion. The GNLA is getting paranoid and is now killing civilians to exert pressure on the administration. It shows the desperation of the GNLA," said Marak.

The official was reacting to increasing demands for separate states in states like Manipur, Assam, Nagaland and Meghalaya. The statehood demands stem mostly from ethnic issues.

Militant groups of the North East region have decided to form a common platform to fight jointly against the “common enemy” and the same is likely to be declared soon, reports Nagaland Post on December 17. This was disclosed by Paresh Baruah, ‘commander in chief’ of the Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I). Talking to The Assam Tribune, Baruah said that all the groups have realized the fact that there is need for fighting the “common enemy” together and after a series of talks among the various outfits, the decision was taken to form the proposed common platform. All the outfits have also realized the fact that everyone has suffered by fighting individually. He said that the move in this regard started three to four years back and the final shape has been given recently. “More than 90 percent of the work of forming the common platform has been completed and only the name of the platform has to be declared. We are hopeful of announcing the common platform shortly. Though the name of the platform is yet to be announced, the words ‘west-south east Asia’ would be included in the name,” he added. Paresh Baruah also admitted that the Indo-Burma Revolutionary Front (IBRF) is now almost defunct as all the outfits of this part were not part of the same and that is why the decision has been taken to form a new platform. Asked to name the outfits which would be part of the new platform, Baruah said that all the outfits struggling for independence of their own territories would be part of the same. However, the outfits, which have started “so-called talks” with the Government, would not be included in the platform.

A statement issued by Rangdo R. Marak, the outfit’s ‘joint secretary’, said the ANVC-B had a meeting recently to discuss the “unwarranted arrest” of its cadres by police while they were visiting their families. “ANVC-B leaders Akimbri, Doang, Ajaju, Nado and others met to discuss and inquire why the government was applying a faulty policy on the outfit’s cadres when they are moving without any ill intention and not carrying weapons,” Marak said. He said the group felt that there was “a plan by our leaders to make us desperate and push us back to the jungle”.“If the government wants to hunt us, then why did the chief minister invite us for the peace pact, which was signed by our chairman on January 5? The chairman is close to chief minister Mukul Sangma and his silence on these issues is a sign of submissive weakness,” Marak added. He also said the ANVC-B would write and seek a response from the government before January 5, 2014, as to who authorised the hunt, and why unwarranted arrests were taking place, and other issues concerning the organisation. “Failing which, we will decide whether or not to follow the agreement signed by our chairman,” Marak added. The ANVC-B, which is led by Rimpu Marak, had participated in the tripartite dialogue between the ANVC, State Government and the Centre, which was held here on January 5, 2013. In that meeting, the agreed text for settlement with the ANVC and its breakaway faction was finalised, and the same had received the state government’s nod. However, the Centre was yet to approve it.

Cross sections of people condemned the dawn-to-dusk shutdown called by the outlawed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) ahead of the Christmas’ eve, reports The Nagaland Post. HNLC, a separatist rebel outfit fighting for a sovereign ‘Hynniewtrep’ homeland in eastern part of Meghalaya, announced the 12-hour shutdown December 23 to protest the arrest of several youths on charges of damaging Government property. HNLC ‘spokesman’ Sainkupar Nongtraw had stated that government “must immediately and unconditionally release all political prisoners and detainees”. Over 71 pro-Inner Line Permit (ILP) activists were arrested in connection with 86 cases related to arsons, murder and other charges during the three-month long agitation in Meghalaya. Two people were killed. Reverend, P.B.M.Basaiawmoit, the outfit’s former emissary, said “The shutdown called is most unusual, unorthodox, and unprecedented since this has not been the way the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) functions in times goes past”. “I am surprised that such a recourse has been adopted by the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC), just the before the celebration of Christmas by followers of Christian faith and others who wish to share in the blessed occasion,” he said. Questioning the shutdown called, former Meghalaya Home Minister, Robert. G. Lyngdoh, asked, “Is the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) trying to establish that there is a connection between the demand for ILP and their secessionist activities.”

The Umar Farooque faction People’s United Liberation Front (PULF-Umar Farooque) on December 24 warned that its cadres would go back to the jungles if the Centre and state government fail to look into their grievances by December 31, reports The Telegraph. This militant group, which is currently involved in a peace process with the government, accused both the Centre and state of failing to honour their commitments. “The government had promised us a onetime grant of INR 300,000 each for every cadre and INR 500,000 each for the politburo members. It is also not paying us a monthly stipend of INR 4,000 each, as promised. And vocational training still remains a dream,” Farooque said. After the homecoming programme, held at the Assam Rifles headquarters at Mantripukhri on the outskirts of Imphal, the cadres were told to stay at their respective homes for the time being. The Government had “promised” them a designated camp for their safety. More than two years after the ceremony they are still at home. The government is paying them some money from time to time in instalments. Farooque admitted that the cadres had received INR 28,000 each till today. The cadres are demanding vocational training, payment of the onetime grant, monthly stipend and a designated camp for their stay. “Because of the control of politburo members, our cadres have not committed any crimes till today. After December 31, we will not be able to control them and prevent them from going back to jungles,” Farooque said. Earlier, 41 PULF cadres of the group turned up at the “homecoming ceremony”, a sort of surrender programme on June 14, 2011. Later, more cadres joined the peace process and more than 150 cadres of this group have come overground.

Sophisticated weapons manufactured in European countries are being used by the militant groups of the region, reports The Assam Tribune. Further, the militants are frequently changing the routes for bringing in weapons to this part of the country and most weapons now come through Myanmar. Highly placed security sources stated that almost all the active militant groups now have access to sophisticated weapons manufactured in the European countries, which is a matter of serious concern. Sources pointed out that till a few years back, the AK series rifles were the most potent of the weapons used by the militant groups of the region, but in recent times, recovery of a number of HK 33 rifles proved that such weapons are also available with the militant groups. Sources revealed that the militant groups are procuring weapons from the clandestine dealers in the South East Asian countries like Cambodia and Vietnam and they are also getting huge numbers of weapons from China.

Asked why NSCN-IM cadres fired on the public, TT Among said that despite being warned not to cross the “red line” the public surged ahead “and along with rival group” and fired towards NSCN (I-M) cadres. This compelled NSCN (I-M) to fire back in “self-defense, “he said.

Naga Hoho (NH), Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) and Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) held a joint meeting on December 29 in Dimapur to discuss the prevailing situations in Zunheboto and Rengma Hills of Karbi Anglong (Assam), reports Nagaland Post. In a press release, NH ‘president’ P. Chuba Ozukum, NMA ‘president’ Abei-u Meru and NSF ‘president’ Tongpang Ozukum said the joint meeting once again strongly condemned the December 21 incident near Zunheboto and also the threat and violence meted out by Karbi militants to Rengma Nagas in Karbi Anglong. The three organizations also met NSCN-IM top leaders at Cease-fire Monitoring Cell, 4th Mile Dimapur and demanded to hand over the “culprits” involved in the December 21 incident to the administration through the civil societies in order to prevent the situation from further flaring up. However it was quiet unfortunate that the NSCN-IM leaders could not give any “positive response” to the demand, rather they have referred the matter to the collective leadership, said the three organizations. The organizations said “an ultimatum was sent to the collective leadership” to consider the demand in order to solve the situation “which they themselves have created.”

Assam Parliamentary Secretary for Home, Atuwa Munda, on December 30 said nearly 1,500 people from both the Karbi and Rengma communities are in relief camps, reports The Telegraph. He also said that that preliminary investigations had indicated that imposition of “tax” by the KPLT on orange cultivation and the Rengma villagers’ refusal to pay could be a reason for December 27 violence. Munda said following the attack on Rengma villagers, the Rengma Naga Hill Protection Force, a militant outfit earlier unheard of, came into the picture and started targeting the Karbis. He said 10 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) companies had reached Bokajan and had been deployed in the trouble-torn areas. On December 29, three companies of Assam Police Battalions were dispatched to the district after fresh incidents of violence were reported in the morning.

Nagaland Post reported sources claiming that the Assam Rifles (AR) team recovered five dead bodies reportedly that of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) cadres from the disbanded Mukalimi camp in Zunheboto District on December 30. Four bodies were found buried inside the camp while the other one, suspected to have died of fatal injuries, was found in the nearby jungle. The discoveries were made after thousands of Sumi volunteers representing various Sumi villages, ended the three-day siege on Ghathashi camp (‘Zasibituo Battalion Headquarters’) of the NSCN-IM’s ‘Naga army’ at Mukalimi village, with a final push at 11.32am. The clash between Sumi volunteers and NSCN-IM started after cadres of the NSCN-IM molested two women missionaries on December 21 at Aghuyito near Zunheboto town and the outfit refused to hand over the culprits to District authorities. However, refuting reports of recovery of five bodies by Assam Rifles (AR) inside the Mukalimi camp, the NSCN-IM ‘convenor’ of Cease-Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) Kraibo Chawang said, “Let them bring out the dead bodies in public” and added that if at all there were any such dead bodies; NSCN-IM would not hide them as it would be a violation of human rights, reports Nagaland Post on December 31. He then claimed that only one NSCN-IM cadre sustained minor injury during the standoff and has been administered first aid. He added, “With mutual understanding with Delhi, conditionally we have left the camp. There is no victory on the other side”.
