When the Naga people are giving more pressure on the sectarian leaders to stop killing among the Nagas, Zhopra Vero and Thepuneyi group who recently joined the so-called unification camp started to fight against the NNC/FGN on 3rd April 2008 at Phek Town, Chakhesang Region.
Zhopra and The-puneyi were dismissed from the NNC/FGN, the Naga national service in 2003 because they were intentionally involved in the Indian elections in February 2003. They involved in the Indian elections in this year too, and then, they claim themselves as non-accordist.
Khaplang rejected the leadership of Isak and Muivah in 1988 and agreed to have peace with the NNC/FGN on 10th January 1991. Since then no armed clash took place among us in the interest of Naga people at large. But when the unification camp broke away from the NSCN-IM, after four months , they are joining hands with Zhopra’s group to fight against the NNC/FGN. This is deplorable by all peace loving Naga people.
