On September 27, 15 Naga Political Groups, 33 Naga Tribal Hohos and the Forum for Naga Reconciliation adopt this Zunheboto Resolution in the spirit of unity, and shared purpose towards keeping the Naga people together.
I. Resolution of Appreciation
In solemn gratitude, the Naga Tribal Hohos, Naga Political Groups, the Public, and the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Angami Public Organization, Ao Senden and the Sumi Hoho, along with their communities in Jotsoma, Ungma and Zunheboto, for their warm wel-come and generous hospitality. Their graciousness and spirit of oneness of the Nagas deeply affirmed the shared longing for reconciliation and unity among the Naga people.
The Zunheboto meeting, in particular, deeply acknowledges the leadership of the Sumi Hoho President and the Executive team, whose steadfast commitment have helped illuminate the path toward a shared Naga political future. Their valuable efforts are deeply respected.
The gathering also acknowledges and appreciate the Government of India (Gol) for recognizing the “Unique-ness of Naga history, the right to self-determine our future in consonance with our distinct identity”.
II. Resolution on the “Joint Naga Team” and the Naga Machang
The Naga political journey is not the possession of a few, but the inheritance of every village, every clan, and every generation. It is this sacred and collective ownership that now calls us to a deeper responsibility.
Therefore, the Zunheboto meeting affirms the urgent need for all Naga civil and religious bodies to come together in support of the Naga Machang under the Council of Naga Cooperation and Relationship (CNCR). The Naga Machang is the common ground for all Nagas to unite on the basis of the historical and politi-cal rights andthis is not merely an administrative task, it is a moral summon to unity with the resolve to judiciously act without delay.
The NPGs are urged to come together under one Machang without further delay and infuse life into the Naga Machang for collective pursuit of an inclusive solution. The CNCR shall continue to work towards bringing all the NPGs with renewed vigor.
III. Resolution on genuine forgiveness and cooperation among all Nagas
With the signing of the Covenant of Naga Reconciliation, factional violence has stopped and given new hope to the Naga people. This Zunheboto meeting acknowledges the genuineness and sincerity of the Naga Political Groups and their expressed desire for reconciliation. For reconciliation to result in a rela-tionship of cooperation, we call for genuine forgiveness among the Naga Political Groups, between Naga Tribal Hohos and across all sections of the Naga people. We declare that a Naga shared future is possible only through forgiveness and mutual respect. The Zunheboto meeting calls for all Naga Political Groups and Naga Tribal Hohos to initiate processes of forgiveness within and among themselves so that Naga cooperation is achieved.
IV. Resolution to Request Prayer
Recognizing the spiritual dimension of our journey, the Zunheboto meeting requests all Church and reli-gious bodies of all faiths across Naga areas to hold prayer sessions at their convenience during the month of October 2025.
These prayers shall be offered for wisdom, healing, and courage as we walk together toward reconcilia-tion and renewal. May the sacred silence of prayer become the ground from which new hope arises.
