Naga Hoho has appealed for peace in Naga Self-Administered Zone (SAZ) in Sagaing Region of Myanmar, where a joint military operation was purportedly launched by the government of Myanmar and India amidst the world combating COVID-19 pandemic. NH informed that Nagas at SAZ villages had been appealing to both the governments for ‘peace, tranquillity and development in the field of education, healthcare and socio economy in Naga hills’ and not war.
Extending solidarity with Naga brethren, NH urged both India and Myanmar governments to suspend military operations as these have only made people live in trauma and fear due to years of war and conflict. NH reiterated that due to COVID 19 pandemic, the UN secretary general had called on armed groups across the world for a global ceasefire. NH said this was supported by many ambassadors worldwide. “This same spirit must also apply to India and Myanmar government as well,” NH maintained.
