Government of India (GoI) and Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM), signed a peace accord on August 3, at New Delhi reports The Hindu. The details of the accord have not been released by the Government. Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that signing of the accord was historic and praised NSCN-IM leaders T. Muivah and Isak Swu for showing wisdom and courage and for making this effort which resulted in the historical agreement. After signing the pact, NSCN-IM ‘general secretary’ Thuingaleng Muivah stated that “Better understanding has been arrived at and a framework agreement has been concluded, based on the unique history and position of the Nagas and recognising the universal principle that in a democracy sovereignty lies with the people.” The agreement was the culmination of over 80 rounds of negotiations spanning 16 years, with the first breakthrough coming in 1997 when a ceasefire agreement was sealed. Prime Minister stated that “Today, we mark not merely the end of a problem, but the beginning of a new future. We will not only try to heal wounds and resolve problems, but also be your partner as you restore your pride and prestige”. The Telegraph reports that the accord is actually a "framework of agreement" that lays the broad contours under which new rules of the game will be written and signed, probably three months from now. Prime Minister stated that NSCN's accord will not only inspire other insurgent groups to return to peace but also want NSCN to be partners in protecting the eastern frontier with Myanmar. The Indian Express on August 3 reports that peace deal rests on a breakthrough formula which does not involve redrawing the state’s borders. Instead, the sources said, the deal involves creating a mechanism which would create institutions allowing autonomy to Naga tribes living across the border in Manipur. In addition, the sources said, negotiators had agreed to set up a mechanism to discuss decommissioning of arms now held by NSCN-IM. NSCN-IM’s main demand had been of a 'Greater Nagalim', which would include all contiguous Naga-inhabited areas in Manipur, Assam, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh. Further, R.N Ravi, the chief interlocutor of GoI for Naga peace talks stated that the agreement was signed in view of the request made by NSCN-IM ‘chairman’ Isak Chishi Swu, who wanted an agreement signed between the two entities in his lifetime. Asked what the “major issues” were agreed upon, Ravi, refused to divulge much but admitted, that issues such as sovereignty and integration was also deliberated and some formula worked out for them. On the signing of ‘Naga Peace Accord’, Ravi said “Nagas have suffered all these years because of lack of understanding. Their dignity and pride has to be restored. Their uniqueness will be reflected in all the competencies.” Emissary to collective leadership of NSCN-IM, V.S Atem, stated that “we have agreed to share sovereign power with each other”. Asked whether integration issue was also agreed upon, Atem claimed that “everything was on board” adding “yes integration will be in the agreement”, reports Nagaland Post on August 4. A statement issued by Nagaland Chief Minister's office stated “The chief minister has expressed confidence that both parties have taken into account the aspirations of the Nagas as expressed by the mass-based Naga civil societies during their interaction with the interlocutor R.N. Ravi. Our people have been struggling for more than six decades for a settlement to the Naga issue, and the signing of the peace accord is a welcome step towards such a settlement. This positive development will pave the way for a permanent solution acceptable to the Nagas." Joyson Mazamo of Naga Hoho (apex body of Naga tribes) stated that “Until and unless we see the contents of the accord, it is difficult to say anything. We were not involved in the talks with the government, though. The I-M group does not represent the entire Nagas but it has popular support.”, reports The Hindu.

Further, the lone Lok Sabha (lower house of Indian Parliament) member from Nagaland and former Chief Minister of Nagaland Neiphiu Rio ON August 3 stated that even though the historic Naga accord was signed between the Indian government and the NSCN-IM, both sides were yet to take a decision on demands like the right to retain weapons in areas of the northeast, reports The Sentinel. He stated that "The Naga accord should not be seen as an immediate settlement between the government and the NSCN-IM. There still are demands from the NSCN-IM to be allowed to carry arms, especially in areas where it has a presence. He also refuted reports that the government did not accept the NSCN-IM's demand to redraw the state's border to incorporate Naga-inhabited areas of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal. He stated that "The demand for Greater Nagaland is the main demand of the NSCN -- irrespective of which faction it is. The question of dropping that demand does not arise as this is what the conflict is all about."

NSCN-IM will set up a panel to define the "shared sovereignty" and "special relationship between India and Nagas" with Government of India (GoI) that the "secret" peace accord is believed to have committed, reports The Telegraph on August 4. A panel, comprising six or seven members, including senior leaders V.S. Atem, Rh. Raising and A.K. Lungalang, will flesh out a Memorandum of Settlement with GoI. Although sources have said that the accord protects the territorial integrity of Nagaland's neighbouring states with substantial Naga populations, GoI and NSCN-IM has shied away from making any announcement. NSCN-IM sources said that said that "decommissioning of arms" cannot take place unless Government fulfils all its obligations. An NSCN-IM leader stated that "It is a 'framework agreement' - an arrangement where it has basically acknowledged the unique history of the Nagas. The Nagas' uniqueness will be reflected in all the competencies. Relationship between Indians and Nagas will be based on sharing of sovereign powers to provide a new relationship and peaceful coexistence between the two entities."

Separately, GoI made it clear that the agreement signed with NSCN-IM was not only an accord with the militant group, but an agreement on the political issues of the Naga people as all the stakeholders were taken on board before signing of the same, reports The Assam Tribune on August 4. Highly placed sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) stated that it was not a preliminary agreement as suggested by certain sections. It was a carefully drafted one after detailed talks not only with the leaders of NSCN-IM but also with all sections of Naga people. Sources revealed that as per the agreement, the government could go for devolution of more powers to Nagaland under provisions of Article 371 (A) of the Constitution of India. Moreover, the government will take all possible steps for the cultural integration of Naga people living in any part of the world. However, the details on both the issues remain to be worked out, reports The Assam Tribune.

Militants of Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM) in the hilly jungles of eastern Bangladesh have contacted Mizoram authorities saying they might need transit assistance as the state is the shortest and most convenient route through which they can go to Nagaland following the peace agreement between NSCN-IM and Government of India (GoI), reports The Indian Express on August 4. Sources stated that ‘colonel’ Apum, ‘commander’ of NSCN-IM in Bangladesh in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) region, made contact with operatives on August 4. NSCN-IM contingent in Bangladesh has about 50 male and female combatants who remain in a camp not far from the international border near Mizoram’s western Mamit District. While, another official stated that contingent could either pass through Mizoram via Mamit town and Aizawl city, the state capital, or through Kolasib District, which borders Assam, depending on chosen point of entry.

He stated that “We hope the peace accord with Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM) will bring permanent and lasting solution to the protracted Naga political issue and peace will prevail in the entire north-eastern region.”He also added that “While the details of the peace accord and the consensus entered upon by the Centre and the NSCN (IM) is not known, it will be immature on our part to comment at this juncture.” He, however, lamented that Arunachal Pradesh was not made a party to the discussion on the Naga Peace Accord.

As the neighbouring states bordering Nagaland continue to be wary of the contents of the "peace accord" signed on August3, Government sources have said that the accord is a "preliminary" one that will pave the way for a final settlement of the Naga issue. The sources also said that the NSCN-IM's most contentious demand - the creation of Nagalim or Greater Nagaland comprising all Naga-inhabited areas of the Northeast - has been "set aside for now". The accord is "more of an economic package", which includes enhanced funding for infrastructure and communication projects, reservation in medical and engineering institutions, besides concessions and subsidies in certain sectors.

In other news, Khole-Khitovi faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-KK) ‘envoy to collective leadership, Alezo Venuh and ‘advisor’ to collective leadership, C. Singson said “it has nothing to do with us as it (Peace Accord) is for Muivah”, reports Nagaland Post. They also added that the group has no problem with “Naga Peace Accord” if the agreement was “good for Mr. Muviah and Southern Nagas”. Alezo claimed that Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) “several occasions” has ruled out integration and during one of the meetings has made it clear that he was seeking “a solution for Southern Nagas”. He also added that political solution was such that NSCN-K had to settle for a solution for Eastern Nagas settled in Myanmar as there is an international boundary that has separated the Nagas.
