Nagaland Rebel Groups

NSCN-IM General Secretary Thuingaleng Muivah on Monday asserted that the separate flag and constitution for the Nagas, contentious issues that have stalled the peace process, are inseparable from the sovereignty of the people.

Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, in his Republic day speech, once again attacked the armed rebel groups and a section of the government, accusing them of being in a nexus that was the cause of state's underdevelopment.

A faction of Naga rebels, led by the most wanted leader Niki Sumi, has decided to revive its ceasefire with the Centre with immediate effect. In a statement, the group -- which revoked a 15-year-old ceasefire agreement in 2015 -- said they have contacted the Central government for initiating peace talks.

Nagaland's foremost armed rebel group involved in the peace talks, the NSCN-IM, on Friday said that without a separate flag and constitution, the peace deal with the central government will not lead to an honourable solution.

The NSCN (IM) - the main armed rebel group involved in the Naga Peace Talks with the central government - has accused the paramilitary personnel of the Assam Rifles of being "unwitting" coronavirus carriers who were contaminating Naga cadres by raiding their homes. In a statement issued on Sunday, the group also said troops should be confined to th...

The Prime Minister's Office is "disturbed" over the standoff in the Naga peace talks between Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, who is also the centre's interlocutor, and various rebel groups over the past few months and has asked the Intelligence Bureau chief to take over, top sources have told NDTV.

The centre had recognised the sovereignty of the Nagas through the framework agreement signed in 2015, the top leader of the most prominent rebel group in the region said on Friday, in a radical departure from the government line on the subject.

Five years after signing the framework agreement on the Naga peace deal with the Central government, the NSCN (IM) rebel group has said there is "trust deficit" indicating the group's unhappiness with Nagaland Governor and peace interlocutor RN Ravi.

In an unprecedented move, the Nagaland government has asked all government employees including senior officials to self-declare whether any of their family members or relatives are members of any of the underground armed rebel groups in the state. Issuing a circular, the state government has asked government servants to submit this declaration to t...

With peace talks ongoing, Naga rebel group NSCN (IM) and security forces are at loggerheads after the latter claim to have busted a recruitment racket and rescued 32 people in Mon district of Nagaland

A photograph of a rebel leader's son and his bride posing with automatic rifles at their Nagaland wedding reception has created a major controversy at a time when the centre is trying to close a historic peace deal with Naga groups in the northeast.

The centre on Thursday rejected reports that it has arrived at a final settlement with rebel group NSCN(IM) in the 22-year-old Naga peace talks, clarifying that such a deal will be struck only after taking all stakeholders into consideration.

As the deadline for concluding the 22 year long Naga peace talks ends, the central government interlocutor and Nagaland Governor RN Ravi would meet the top leadership of Naga rebel group NSCN(IM), perhaps for one last time to end a deadlock over the contentious issue of a separate Naga flag and constitution and close the final deal.

The centre was able to end a deadlock in talks with Naga rebel group NSCN(IM) over the demand for a separate Naga flag and constitution, winding up a crucial round of negotiations on a "positive note" on Monday.

Days before the highly-anticipated Naga peace talks over a deadlock between centre and rebel group NSCN(IM) on the contentious issues of a separate flag and constitution for the Nagas, state Governor RN Ravi has called for a meeting today with the group's interlocutor.
