The history of Naga political struggle is over 6 decades now. The countless lives sacrificed for our rights are priceless, though, many have forgotten them today. With the passage of time, in the recent past, many lives have been lost due to conflicts within our own. This is a matter of fact! And this is the saddest part of our history! Therefore, to all Nagas, and especially to our leaders: please do not by pass this message with a flip of the finger because you are angry at some others’ actions; for to let your anger decide the future will be anathema for the Nagas.
Recently, the Nagas are witnessing instances of conflicts within us. For this the FNR and the Naga people have expressed strong displeasure. On the latest episode at Regury, Meluri - opting of allegiance to another group is one thing but it is altogether another matter to cause physical harm to our own brothers. In this, the FNR once again, expresses strong disapproval.
While the FNR attempts to be unbiased, and remain objective as far as possible, we have received our share of criticism from various corners. In this, we must be honest and admit our own failures. FNR as a forum is fully committed to reconciliation and wants to witness its fruit without delay. We will continue to abhor all forms of violence meted out against one another and shall never support all acts contrary to the spirit of reconciliation.
Nevertheless, the FNR appreciates the support of the signatories of the COR who continue to remain steadfast even during the most trying times. We applaud them for their commitment towards one of the most sublime covenant made by our highest level leaders, despite some hick-ups along the way. We salute them for this.
Since June 2008, Naga people have mandated on many occasions to call for a meeting of the “Highest Level Leaders, at the earliest.” The attestation of the signatories of the COR to the Naga peoples’ deepest desire has not been forgotten. This is the moment for us. Therefore, honor these words!
This Sunday, September 12, besides the Naga Churches, many Christians around the world have agreed to set aside time to intercede on behalf of Naga political leaders and the actualization of reconciliation among the Nagas. Therefore, should we not hearken to the cries and tears of believers around the world? Prophetically, could this be the final call for the Nagas? What is your decision?
Let not the prayers and pleas of the Nagas and believers around the world go unheard, lest we become unanswerable to our Creator.
