Nagaland Post reports that normal life came to a standstill throughout Nagaland, including Naga inhabited areas in Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, on July 1, during the 12-hour bandh (shut down strike), called by the Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) in protest against factional clashes and harassment meted out to public by underground groups. The total bandh was observed without any incident, at the time of filing this report. NSF ‘vice-president’ Joseph Nguori who monitored the bandh in Dimapur, said it was called to show “strong resentment” against those not maintaining peace, which was the need of the hour. NSF ‘finance secretary’ Shikavi Achumi pointed out that the federation had already submitted a five-point charter of demands to the State Government on June 26 and demanded a response within seven days. It may be recalled that NSF wanted the State Government to initiate stern action against the culprit(s) involved in a shooting incident where one NSF office bearer was injured in Kohima on June 25. NSF also demanded that the Government direct all the cadres of every faction be confined within designated camps and to seriously monitor “free movement” of armed cadres in civilian areas. It also demanded that Government ensure security of the general public and also asked it not to release any accused on bail.

life was paralyzed in the State, particularly Kuki-dominated areas of the hill Districts, due to a 36-hour general strike called by the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) in pursuit of its demand for creation of a "Kuki state" on July 8, reports The Times of India. At least seven vehicles, including a truck, were damaged in Churchandpur District where top leaders of KSDC stay. The general strike will be followed by a two-day economic blockade on all the State and national highways. Owing to the strike, commercial activities at the border town of Moreh in Chandel district, Churachandpur district, Sadar Hills in Senapati and various townships and villages of Ukhrul and Tamenglong Districts came to a halt. The committee's proposed "Kuki State" map encompasses the Kuki areas covering more than half of Manipur's territory spread over five hill Districts. It surrounds Churachandpur, Chandel, Sadar Hills in Senapati and large chunks of land in Tamenglong and Ukhrul Districts. The KSDC, which has its branches across the state, has been pressing the Centre to hold political dialogue with Kuki militant outfits that are signatories to the ongoing Suspension of Operation (Soo) with the Government. KSDC will continue the movement till the political solution for Kukis in the form of a "Kuki State" is achieved, said a statement of the committee issued on Monday afternoon by its information and publicity secretary S George Guite.

Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has questioned the motive of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) for branding the group as “a terrorist organization.” The group has also warned that if the Government of India failed to take firm action against “few rogue officers” of its security forces, it might re-consider the ongoing cease-fire pact. Stating that NSCN-K signed the cease-fire agreement with the Government of India, it maintained that it went ahead with the agreement but not to be “crushed by the terrorist security forces.” The statement came after NSCN-K Cease-Fire Supervisory Board (CFSB) members Wangtin Naga and P. Tikhak had written a letter to MHA’s North-East in-charge joint secretary Shambhu Singh in connection with the “cold blooded” killing of six NSCN-K cadres on June 22 at Longmai (None) inTamenglong District. While terming the act as an “insult” and a “terrorist” act, NSCN-K also refuted AR claim that the cadres were killed in an “encounter.”

On July 10 that while the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA) has agreed in principle to one of the primary demands of the Pro-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) for granting of tribal status to six communities of the state, the ULFA-PTF leadership is not ready to take the Government word for it till the approval is spelt out in the peace settlement. Deputy 'commander-in-chief' Raju Baruah alias Hitesh Kalita, who is the top leader of the military wing of the pro-talks group, said, "All statements made so far are speculative. We have discussed the problems of the State with the Government, including the problems surrounding indigenous communities. It is too early to come to conclude whether tribal status will be granted to the six communities. First, let it be incorporated in the peace agreement." Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said a few days ago that he too supports the ULFA-PTF’s demand. Union minister of state for tribal welfare Ranee Narah on July 9 said that the MHA is waiting for the Registrar General of India (RGI)'s clearance to the proposal. The ULFA-PTF replaced its three-decade-old demand of sovereignty with the demand for constitutional safeguards for the indigenous people by granting tribal status to the tea tribe, Koch-Rajbongshi, Moran, Motok, Tai Ahom and Chutia communities.

In a statement, the KSDC affirmed that the KSDC and the Kuki people will continue non-violent struggle for political self-determination under the Indian Constitution until the demand is realised. “The Kuki people never encroach nor demand any land or territories of others, but want redrawing of the artificial political boundaries, which was earlier appended to Manipur without the consent of the landowners, i.e. the Kukis,” the KSDC said. Meanwhile, the 48-hour KSDC sponsored economic blockade ended on a peaceful note in the evening of July 11. The blockade was strictly enforced in Kuki dominated areas.

Tripura Finance Minister, Badal Chowdhury has expressed “genuine fears” over revival of insurgency in Tripura and other parts of the Northeast because of the Centre’s policies and deprivation of the region. “It is almost an axiom that poverty and other un-addressed grievances of people create discontent which often degenerates into militancy. I fear that the Centre’s continuous neglect of the northeastern region could lead to a fresh outbreak of insurgency,” Chowdhury said. He pointed out that Centre is backing out of its commitments to fulfil basic needs of Tripura in infrastructure building. “Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had given a clear commitment in 2005 that the Assam-Agartala National Highway 44, the state’s lifeline, would be upgraded to four lanes but this has not happened. The Centre is sitting idle even on the state’s curtailed demand for upgrading the highway to two lanes only. There is virtually no progress in converting the metre gauge railway track connecting Tripura and Barak Valley with Lumding in Assam into a broad gauge. This is a serious matter,” Chowdhury said.

The Times of India reports that in what could be a fallout of a factional feud, the 'home secretary' of the Kuki Liberation Army (KLA), Seikhohao Khongsai alias Marwin (33) and his two and a half year daughter identified as Zukim Kuki were killed and two others were injured in an ambush in the afternoon of July 13. The victims were on their way to the Champhai area in Senapati District when armed men killed them. When the car reached Champhai village around 3.30pm, unidentified armed men rained bullets, killing the 'home secretary' on the spot and injuring his daughter Zukim Kuki and two others, including the driver. Zukim succumbed to her injuries at a private hospital in the afternoon of July 14, Police said, adding that Saikhohao's wife, who was also in the car, escaped unhurt. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack till the filing of this report, even the Police began a probe to ascertain the motive behind the ambush and the identities of the perpetrators. The attack came at a time when several Kuki civil bodies demanded that the Government hold a political dialogue with the Suspension of Operation (SoO) signatory Kuki militant groups to bring about a permanent solution to the Kuki problem in Manipur. KLA is the armed wing of the Kuki Liberation Organization (KLO) and the group is a signatory of the ongoing SoO with the Government. The Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA), which is also a party to the SoO, has condemned the attack. Also, the Kuki Students’ Organisation, General Headquarters (KSO-GHQ) has vehemently condemned the Champhai incident, saying the enmity they have with the deceased KLA functionary is not much a matter of concern, reports The Sangai Express.

Assam Tribune reports that Inspector General of Police-in charge of Bodoland Territorial Autonomous Area Districts (BTAD), GP Singh stated that though the police and security forces launched a massive operation to seize illegal weapons in the BTAD, extortion still remains a major problem in the area as a number of militant outfits are still active in the area. Some members of the militant groups under cease-fire agreement with the Government are also involved in forceful fund collection. IGP, Singh told that more than 120 weapons including AK series rifles were seized during the operation. Following the crackdown, open display of weapons, at least in the towns, has stopped but it is difficult to say whether such weapons are still available with the miscreants, Singh said. Also, IGP-BTAD, GP Singh said that National Santhal Liberation Army (NSLA) is still active in extortion activity. Though the Adivasi People’s Army (APA) has come overground to solve its problems through talks, one group of the outfit is still at large and members of the group are involved in extortion. These groups are active mostly in the Gossaigaon-North Bengal belt and in addition to extortions are also involved in few abduction cases. Further, IGP-BTAD, GP Singh said that IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-IKS), with around 75 cadres, has bases in Karbi Anglong and Biswanath Chariali area apart from the main base in Myanmar. IGP further admitted that the NDFB-IKS is also involved in extortions in different parts of the BTAD, while, some members of the Ranjan Daimary faction (NDFB-RD), which declared unilateral ceasefire with the Government to express its desire for talks, are also extorting money. Further, according to reports, there have been instances where members of both NDFB-RD &NDFB-IKS stayed together in the interior places. Singh said that though it is difficult to say whether the militants still have bases in Bhutan, the terrain in the area, particularly during the rainy season makes it difficult to launch sustained operations.

Pro-Talks faction of National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-PTF) on July 14 chose existence as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China rather than accepting the Central Government move to give more powers to Autonomous Councils. Resenting the fact that Bodos and other indigenous people living within the proposed Bodoland area were yet to get full-fledged political autonomy, a press statement issued by the NDFB-PTF’s ‘publicity secretary’, S. Sanjarang, said it would be better for these communities to be a part of a Special Administrative Region in China “if the government of India has only decided to provide more powers to the existing Autonomous Councils of the region”. Further, NDFB-PTF called on the Ranjan Daimary faction (NDFB-RD) and IK Songbijit factions (NDFB-IKS) to join hands with it to carry forward peace talks with the Central government in the greater interest of the Bodo community.NDFB-PTF ‘president’ Dhiren Boro alias B. Sungthagra said the NDFB had been a single entity before ideological differences led to formation of the two other factions. Stating that the peace talks with the government of India were proceeding smoothly, with both sides responding positively, Boro urged the NDFB-RD and NDFB-IKS to join the negotiations to ensure a lasting solution to the Boro imbroglio.“We can expect a good political solution to the problem soon if we stand united while carrying forward the peace process,” he said. “It would be a positive step.”

Nagaland Post reports that responding to the Cease-Fire Monitoring Group (CFMG) chairman Lieutenant General (Rtd) N.K Singh’s statement, which asked the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) not to vitiate the spirit of the Cease-Fire Ground Rules (CFGR) and to stop “extortion”, NSCN-IM’s Cease-Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) office, on July 15, reiterated that NSCN as the “de-facto Government” has “legitimate right to levy tax in Nagalim.” In a statement, CFMC secretary Imcha Longkumer said its right to levy tax should not be interpreted as “extortion”, saying nowhere in the CFGR it was mentioned NSCN could not levy ‘tax’. Pointing out that CFGR was a bi-lateral agreement signed between Government of India and the NSCN, CFMC said whenever there were differences it had to be resolved by a higher cease-fire review committee meeting in Delhi. CFMC had also raised the issue of “frequent” raids by Assam Rifles on the residences of NSCN functionaries, which it said was violation of CFGR.

The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) on July 17 out rightly rejected the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) offer of joining them for peace talks, accusing them of collaborating with the Meghalaya Government in ‘eliminating’ their cadres to weaken their outfit. In response to the statement issued by the ‘publicity secretary’ of the ANVC-B, Doang D Shira, inviting his organization to join the ongoing peace process with the Government, GNLA leader, Sohan D Shira reiterated that such a proposal from the rival outfit cannot be entertained since there is a move to try and bring the rebel group to its knees by the State Government in collaboration with the ANVC-B. While it has distanced itself from having any involvement in the ANVC-B’s offer of talks, the Sohan D Shira-led GNLA has said that it was ready to talk with the Central Government. “We will talk to the Centre, not with the ANVC,” announced Sohan D Shira in a communique to The Shillong Times on July 17. He also claimed that arms including AK rifles supplied by Meghalaya Police Deputy Superintendant of Police (DSP) Chako to the ANVC-B were being used in operation to eliminate its cadres.

We are concentrating on nipping the problem in the bud. The government has sought assistance from the Centre to implement development schemes in the seven Maoist-affected Districts. Further, DGP, JN Choudhary said that extortion is still a problem in Bodoland Territorial Adminitered Districts (BTAD). The IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) is extorting money from traders in Kokrajhar, Chirang, and Bongaigaon and even in Kharupetia in Darrang District though the amounts are not big.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is promoting opium cultivation popular in Districts along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh boundary, reports The Times of India on July 22. According to security sources, the CPI-Maoist is taking the help of local rebel outfits to encourage opium farming, which, although illegal, is a traditional practice in these areas and is a lucrative occupation for locals. "It is a fact that the Maoists tacitly promote opium and ganja cultivation in order to raise funds for their activities. The cadres of the anti-talks factions of ULFA [ULFA-Independent] and NDFB [NDFB-IK Songbijit], who are hiding at several places in Arunachal Pradesh, are helping them in their latest venture," said an unnamed senior intelligence official. "Around 200 youth are reported to be running the poppy farming racket in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh. They get a monthly stipend of INR 1,500-2,500. The local outfits, which are helping the Maoists are also paying approximately INR 30,000 per acre to willing farmers for growing opium," added an unnamed security source from Arunachal Pradesh. Earlier, Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Nabam Tuki had said, "We are trying to sensitize the people and replace the traditional poppy farming with other cash crops, rubber plantation or flower and fruit cultivation."
