The Government Of The People’s Republic Of Nagalim, Eastern Flank, Naga Army on 16 March 2026 issued a statement cautioning the Kukis in the Naga areas.
The strong statement issued by Lieut. Gen. A. Raman, MM, MC of NSCN -Eastern Flank Naga Army stated that “it is our sincere desire to peacefully co-exist with other communities in the region. As long as the Kukis recognize the Nagas as the landowners and identify themselves within the fold of the Naga tribes, we have no problems with them. However, there can be no peace, and no compromise if the Kuki immigrants insist on carving out parts of Nagalim to create the Kuki Homeland.
“Dishonoring the hospitality of the Nagas (landowners), the Kuki immigrants severely assaulted an innocent Tangkhul Winger driver on Imphal-Ukhrul Highway in June, 2025, again on the 8th of February 2026 the Kuki militants in collusion with Indian security forces have brazenly committed an inhuman act of arson at Litan in Nagalim. More than 23 houses of the Tangkhul Nagas were burnt down by the Kuki militants, and the Indian security forces were openly seen joining hands with the Kuki militants in the act. The reason behind such audacity for Kukis to attack Tangkhul Naga village, while being an immigrant, is apparent to us all they have the support of the Indian security forces. The hypocritical policy of the Gol to use the Kuki militants as a proxy to attack against the political rights of the Nagas, and the Kuki militants’ insistence on carving out some parts of Nagalim as Kuki Homeland can never be tolerated. We are once again compelled to defend our land to the last from the aggressors and the encroachers. We appeal to all the Naga youths to prepare and rise up to defend the God-given land, Nagalim.
“We fully support and endorse the ‘Press Statement on Litan Burning’, 11th February, 2026 by the Ministry of Information and Publicity (NSCN/GPRN) that “NSCN shall therefore, stand the ground come what may to defend the land of the God given Naga nation.” Accordingly, we will take up the necessary steps in this matter.
“We also appreciate and fully support the proactive stance taken by the Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL) Kumpei Longshim Kazip held on 23rd February, 2026, Presidential address on serial ‘No. 9. Prevailing situation at Litan areas, Note: In the current prevailing situation’ the house unanimously agreed that there can be no compromise under any circumstance in this prevailing situation; also, the Press Statement of the TNL, Ukhrul: 25th February, 2026, that “All Tangkhul Naga villagers are instructed to immediately cut all civic and economic ties with the Kukis.” Therefore, Timber business, and other business activities such as oil (petroleum, diesel etc), and food supply in the present artificial Indo-Myanmar border area stretching from Thana to Namlee village is banned with immediate effect” added the statement of NSCN -Eastern Flank Naga Army.
