We believe one of the distressing concerns of our people right now is the sensitive Kezol-Tsa deadlock situation involving some of our Tenyimia tribes.
Jesus said: “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw stone at her” (Jn 8:7). Martin Luther King Jr, brought the same truth to bear on our modern world thus: “Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”
At this juncture of the Naga crisis, we are being fragmented by unhealed differences and conflicts from the past known to all of us. We are deeply pained that some members of our family are caught up in the matrix of the Kezol-Tsa crisis.
Prompted by a sense of serious urgency that we believe is felt by all: we the undersigned humbly call for space of sanity in all of us to prevail, rising above our adversarial positions that are understandable in such conflicts. This would enable God to intervene and lead us to the steps for finding an honourable settlement for all that would glorify God in the end.
Our appeal comes from our concern for what tomorrow’s generation will inherit from us. Will they rise and call us blessed?
