KOHIMA: In a significant move towards strengthening unity, Naga Political Groups (NPGs), tribal apex bodies, and the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) have reaffirmed that no political or civil group is excluded from the Naga political process. This decision was taken during a two-day conclave held on May 5 and 6 at Pruzie (Shisha Hoho) in Kohima.
The joint statement from the conclave emphasized an inclusive approach, urging all NPGs and civil society organizations to join hands in moving forward. Participants acknowledged the contributions of various individuals and groups working for Naga rights while urging those still disengaged to reflect on the importance of unity.
The gathering adopted several key resolutions, including the decision to hold a Day of Prayer on May 18. Tribal hohos will request all respective church councils and associations to observe this day as a special prayer dedicated to the people of the Naga areas, seeking divine intervention in the ongoing political issue.
The gathering affirmed that all Nagas must urgently converge on the shared political rights of the Naga people, encouraging efforts to build bridges across differences with grace and empathy. With backing from the tribal hohos, the gathering declared that all Naga political groups must unite under a shared identity of common belonging, free from any group’s hegemonic dominance.
