Twenty-seven years after a ceasefire, the NSCN-IM has issued an ultimatum to the Union government, warning of a return to armed resistance if the 2015 Framework Agreement is not honored. The group claims the government’s actions have violated the “letter and spirit” of the agreement.
Stalled Negotiations and Discontent
The recent ultimatum follows several rounds of discussions between NSCN-IM leaders and the Centre’s interlocutor, A.K. Mishra.
Meanwhile, the government has been holding separate talks with the NNPGs, another Naga organization umbrella group, which signed a separate “Agreed Position” with the Centre in 2017.
Parallel Agreements and Persistent Deadlock
Despite signing the 2015 Framework Agreement, no comprehensive accord has been achieved with the NSCN-IM.
The Centre’s simultaneous negotiations with the NNPGs and a 2017 agreement have added complexity, leaving the peace process in a prolonged deadlock.
