GOD BLESS NAGALIM!
The Naga peoples resistance is one of the oldest struggles for self-determination against colonization in the region and yet it continues to be one of the least known peoples movement in the world.
A voluntary plebiscite was held in May 1951 to determine whether Nagas would join Indian Union, or live by themselves. The result was 99.9% in favor of independence. In persuance of their declared national decision, the Naga people launched Civil Disobedient Movement and sucessfully boycotted the General Elections of free India. Therefore, the Indo-Naga issue is neither a question of "Separation" nor "Secession" from India. Separation or Secession comes only when there is a union. Nagalim was and is never a part of India and as such, Naga independence is neither a question of separation nor secession from India.

A new round of negotiations between the Government of India and the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) was held in Delhi on April 16, at which it was decided that the next round would take place next month, for which no dates were fixed.
The negotiations are over the Constitution. The NSCN has a constitution of its own. The attempt is to adjust or make changes in it to bring it closer to make it a part of the Indian Constitution. This is a difficult task and will take a many rounds of talks to sort it out.

The changed situation effecting the Azheto and his group is only a reflection of the moribund group who are in extreme hurry not to push forward the Naga National interest but to have their personal and sectarian interests fulfilled. The merger of this group with NSCN-K is in line with their habitual change of allegiance, an insult to the Nagas when this group played with the sentiment of the Naga nation by harping on the serious issue of Naga unification. But with their action in contravention of their high sounding unification agenda they proved themselves on the wrong footing. Revealing their true colour, these people went back to their original fold NSCN-K which they condemned as 'without principle', 'without discipline', 'without vision', 'statehood protectors'.

Ayin died fighting like a true Naga soldier, and Athikho Mao was killed in cold blood by the Unification group, after abducting him near the Training Centre, Naga Army.

On the abduction of Atong Pongener, Secretary I/C, Steering Committee NSCN, wild allegation and incomprehensible charges were placed on him by the Unification group. And he was subsequently shot dead on 9 May at vihokhu.
There is no iota of truth on the allegation and the truth of the abduction and killing of Atong is to camouflage all the abduction crimes of the Unification group. Following his abduction Atong was made to confess under duress his involvement in the kidnapping of a school student. His obstinate stand to counter charge the unification group while in their captivity cost him his life.

If God is for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31). The voice urges fellow Nagas to obey His call that makes of us our brothers’ keeper and appoints us steward under God of the civilization of the Naga domain. Betraying no doubts as to what the voice required according to Albert Beveridge in 1900. “We are this at last, a great national unit ready to carry out that universal law of civilization which requires of every people who have reached our high estate to become colonizers of new lands, administrators of orderly government over savage and senile peoples. And being thus prepared, the lands and peoples needing over administration are delivered to our keeping, not by our design, but by occurrence beyond our control. In the astronomy of Destiny, American opportunity, American duty and American preparedness are in conjunction. Who shall oppose their progress?” (Who shall oppose Nagas Reconciliation?)

DIMAPUR, MAY 9 (MExN): Speaking at the Parliament on March 4 and April 21, 2008 Lok Sabha MP of Outer Manipur, Mani Charenmei, called attention to the slow progress of the talks between the NSCN (IM) and the Government of India and said that it has created doubt on the success of the peace talks. He said that the delay was eroding the faith and confidence reposed on the Centre and creating restlessness, particularly among the youth. He sought to make clear that if the GoI’s aim is simply to contain the underground groups instead of committing to give peace to the Naga by removing injustice done to then, real peace may prove elusive even if the Centre is to exterminate or abolish all the Naga insurgents. “The Naga deserve peace; their demand is legitimate; and their demand for unification or integration to live under one administration is not at all unconstitutional; it is not illegal.”

Guwahati, May 8 (Agencies): The NSCN (I-M) has accused New Delhi of encouraging rival groups to attack them and sabotage a decade-old peace process aimed to end the long-running insurgency.
A senior NSCN (I-M) leader said the group had lost faith in the government's sincerity in finding a lasting solution to the problems. “India is not at all interested to solve our problems,” R.H. Raising, a senior NSCN (I-M) leader, told Reuters on Thursday. “The government is now busy encouraging rival factions to attack our cadres and camps to derail the whole peace initiative.” A home ministry official in New Delhi said the government would not comment right away. The NSCN split into two factions in the late 1980s. The two groups regularly fight against each other.
