DIMAPUR, Sept 9 NNN : In spite of the serious hiccup faced by the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) following the re-emergence of factional clashes among the Naga underground groups after a gap of five years, FNR convenor Dr Rev Wati Aier has not lost hope on his mission.
Dr Wati Aier, the man behind the floating of Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) said they are closely monitoring on the prevailing situation and “hopefully things will subside soon.”
The FNR convenor said the Forum is silently working towards fulfilling its mission. “But you see reconciliation is not a magic lamp but only a process.”
This comment of Dr Rev Wati Aier came amid heightening of factional clashes among the Naga underground groups at the moment.
Formed in 2008 to reconcile among the warring Naga underground outfits, the FNR members drawn from various Naga civil bodies, activists and intellectuals had organised football matches for these various Naga underground outfits both in Nagaland and abroad. Several reconciliation meetings were also convened under the aegis of FNR in Nagaland, Thailand and elsewhere. Following these, the warring Naga underground organisations had ceased to fight among themselves both physically and in the media.
Numerous agreements were also signed among the Naga underground outfits to stop hostility among them.
However, the clashes among the militant outfits cropped up again few months ago and untill yesterday, a cadre hailing from NSCN-K was killed by a rival group in Tizit town, Mon district, Nagaland.
