The Manipur Naga Youth Organization (MNYO) has expressed profound sorrow over the tragic killing of four cadres of GPRN/NSCN Eastern Flank at Hongbei village in Kamjong on March 28, saying this deeply distressing incident has pained Naga people and stands as a solemn reminder of the urgent need to preserve unity among Naga brothers.
At this critical juncture, MNYO made a strong and earnest appeal to all concerned to exercise utmost restraint, wisdom, and responsible leadership. Any form of fratricidal violence among ourselves only weakens our collective strength and distances us from our shared aspirations as a people, MNYO said in a press release.
It also called for a proper, impartial, and transparent approach to the incident so that a reasonable explanation is revealed to the Naga public and to the family of victims for finding a peaceful solution to the tragic incidents and subsequent adverse public reactions; thereby, justice is ensured. A credible process of accountability is essential to restore trust and prevent further misunderstanding, it said.
MNYO urged all concerned groups and individuals to rise above differences and resolve issues through dialogue, mutual respect, and peaceful means. “This is a defining moment that calls for unity, not division; for reconciliation, not confrontation,” it said.
It extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for strength, healing, and peace. May wisdom and discernment guide all Naga leaders towards unity and a collective future built on understanding and brotherhood, it prayed.
Let this be the last such tragedy, and may there be no more fratricidal bloodshed among brothers in all Naga-inhabited areas, MNYO wished.
