According to reports, North east militant groups camping in Myanmar have come under pressure from the Myanmar Army and the militants have been forces to shift their camps a number of times in the last one month, reports Assam Tribune on February 4. According to highly laced security sources, with the improvement of the relation between both countries, Myanmar has started putting pressure on the militant groups using the territory of that country as safe sanctuary. According to inputs available Myanmar army has not launched any offensive targeting the militant groups. According to security sources, active militant groups of the North East have bases in Myanmar and most of them use the facilities of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K). They also added that though excat number of militants in Myanmar cannot be ascertained at least 2,000 north east militants are in Myanmar. This include 150 United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) and 150 National Democratic Front of Bodoland-Saraigwra (NDFB-S). Security agencies are of the view that the striking power of the militant groups is now limited to few areas after they lost their bases in Bhutan and Bangladesh and if they lose their bases in Myanmar, it would be impossible for the ultras to sustain themselves.

Times of India on February 24 reports that Paresh Baruah was living in Tengchong, 20 km from the Sino-Myanmar town of Ruili, in the Yunnan Province of China until he met with an accident in October 2018. The accident has caused serious injury resulting in Paresh Baruah being taken to People’s Hospital in Jeigao in Yunnan Province. Later he was shifted to Southern Medical University run by Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) in Guangzhou in Guangdong province. The report also says the real cause of the recent rise in ULFA-I recruitment has been traced back to a directive to Barua by Chinese intelligence agencies in the backdrop of the Doklamstandoff (in Bhutan) in 2017 between Indian and China, to increase recruitment.

Different Naga civil organisations on February 25 urged Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi to resolve the decades-old insurgency issue in Nagaland before the general election, reports Nagaland Post. They also alleged that the issue was not being resolved due to adamant position of Government of India (GoI). YaronshoNgalung, chairman of the Autonomous District Council (ADC), Ukhrul ( in Manipur) stated that ‘During the 2014 Lok Sabha (lower house of Indian Parliament) election campaign, the prime minister had promised to solve the Naga political problem within 18 months if the BJP formed the government at the Centre. Now, it’s almost 60 months since then and the Nagas are yet to see the formidable leadership of Delhi fulfilling the promise made. We want a solution before the Lok Sabha polls’. A memorandum to the PM by the organisations (including Naga Mothers Association and Naga Students Association) stated that The Naga masses are well informed that the search of model for solution is being dragged due to the adamant position of India (government) in recognising the distinct political identity of the Nagas -- such as, flag, constitution, passport’.

Deputy National Security Advisor (NSA) and Interlocutor for Naga Talks RN Ravi admitted that “differing positions” on the demand for separate Naga flag and Constitution has delayed signing of the final agreement, reports Nagaland Post on February 28. He stated that Government of India (GoI) was ready to consider Naga flag for Pan Naga cultural body and to term the final agreement as Naga “Yehzabo”. He also alleged that Naga negotiators were not agreeable to it. RN Ravi in an interview stated that ‘GoI is aware of Naga people’s sentiment over the flag. It must be respected. Our position is that the Naga flag should be located in the Pan Naga cultural body, which would be a common platform of all the Nagas. Similarly, the final agreement, which would have to be duly incorporated in the Constitution of India.’

Dissenting the failure of Government of India (GoI) to sign an agreement with National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isaak Muivah and Naga National Political Group (NNPG), Naga Hoho decided to boycott meeting with RN Ravi chief interlocutor of peace talks, reports The Sangai Express on February 28. Naga Hoho is the apex body of naga tribes. Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) also boycotted the scheduled meeting with RN Ravi. Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) and the United Naga Council (UNC) also had decided to stay away from the meeting with RN Ravi. New Indian Express further adds that Naga Hoho President Chuba Ozukum stated that ‘In our previous meetings, he (Ravi) had always told us that the peace talks covered all points and that there will be a comprehensive solution. He had also said that the talks were in a very advanced stage. However, the much-desired solution continues to elude the Nagas. Their (Centre’s) behaviour speaks volumes of their insincerity and the lack of political will towards solving the problem. So, we didn’t find any reason to meet him’.
