NAGALAND: NSCN-IM has accused Kuki militants KNA(B) of killing one Honpam Chithung on February 10, 2024 in Myanmar. In this regard, NSCN-IM said “repeated messages given to the Kuki  people should not be treated in a casual manner”.

NSCN-IM then said, “Needless to say, this particular incident is something that has played into the nerves of National Socialist Council of Nagalim(NSCN) and GPRN as people’s government have taken strong exception against the KNA(B) and the Kuki villages in the border like Mawailuk, Aishi, Phaikoh etc., it  This kind of senseless warmongering has been recorded as an affront to the dignity and manhood of the Nagas”.

In a statement made available to Newmai News Network this evening, NSCN-IM said, “Notwithstanding many provocative incidents", Nagas have maintained cool to stay steadfastly neutral in the state sponsored ethnic conflict between the meitei and the kuki in Manipur ever since the "bloody pogrom" started on May 3,2023.

The NSCN- IM statement then said, Exercising our faith in God We have extended the hands of humanity in the true spirit of Christianity towards the displaced Kuki people who have fled from the war- torn Myanmar and taken shelter in naga areas in kamjong and other places in ukhrul dist. Who have fled from imphal valley" However, things seem to have gone wrong in the hands of the Kuki militants, notably KNA-B with their "insane warmongering" NSCN -IM also stated.
