*Rejoinder & Clarifications*
The 13th July, 2025

_With special references to the news-item under the caption, *“Another 3 New Kuki Settlements Pop Up Inside Naga Village in Kangpokpi District - VA”* published in the Ukhrul Times, July 9, 2025, the WKZIC hereby make the underlying clarifications below for the understanding of all concerned as under._

1. That KHOLEN VILLAGE is a hamlet village of younger Clansmen gifted on *‘Kuki Customary Charge & Fees’* as per Kuki Traditions from Elder Clansmen SELSI VILLAGE in the year 1979 and the new village was established in the year 1980, within Selsi Village jurisdictions.

2. Likewise the so stated WEST HAIPI VILLAGE is also another Hamlet Kuki Village of younger Clansmen from Elder Clamsmen HAIPI VILLAGE, within the jurisdictions of Haipi village itself.

3. Thirdly, SAIKOT/ SAIKOTJANG is also another Hamlet Kuki Village of Younger Clansmen from Elder Clansmen KHOLJANG VILLAGE as per Kuki Traditions of establishing new village by Elder Clansmen for his Younger Clansmen.

_Look at the GOOGLE MAP attached here for reference, all the stated New Kuki Villages are situated between Kuki Villages and not inside Kacha Naga Village as claimed by Chawangkining Kacha Naga Village._

_It is therefore reminded to the Chawangkining Village Authority not to panick and raise unnecessary alarm, unless the above mentioned Mother Villages such as SELSI, HAIPI and KHOLJANG complaint, there is nothing wrong and illegal. Keep in mind the Kukis are following certain unique traditions which none should encroach someone’s land. Kukis unlike Kacha Nagas have the traditions of respecting others land and boundary, with the saying *“A person whoever encroaches others land measuring upto or more than 4X6 ft. dies very soon”* which forbids Kukis to encroach somebody’s land without the permission of the owner._

_Looking the Kukis always into *‘Kacha Naga Prism Perspectives of Attitude and Mindsets’* panick you, which you can get rid off that Kukis and Proper Nagas are big hearted people living together peacefully as *“Tribals and Christians”,* unlike Kacha Nagas with wild nature, always seeking ways and means to fight with others, even in this Digital Era inspite of being Christians demeaning the sanctitity of Christianity._

PRESS RELEASE
4th July 2025

The ongoing German Road,(Tiger Road) construction project connecting Churachandpur and Kangpokpi via Jaojangtek, Kotlen and Kangchup foothill by Kuki-Zo, has raise a serious concern to the Rongmei Naga Community as the road lays within the land of the Naga villages. The strategically laid road, with almost 7-8 kms, is running well within the village jurisdiction of Ichum Kabui, Natok Kabui and Charoi Pandongbå, has undoubtedly pose an imminent threat to the safety of the Naga Community, particularly, the Rongmei Tribe. It is an undeniable fact that the construction of German Road by Kuki-Zo under the initiative of the Kuki Militant is nothing but a strategic line drawn for their advantages while jeopardizing the security of the other communities. This highly provocative activities will possibly de-stabilize the peaceful inter communal co-existence in the region.

The proposed installation of SoO Camp for Kuki-Zo militant and pre planned settlement project of non-Manipuri speaking people, obviously, immigrants from Myanmar. In the region is yet another matter of serious concern. Such systematic arrangement made by the Kukis in collusion with the Govt Security Agencies might consciously or sub-consciously develop a situation most regrettable.

Therefore, with utmost concern for peace and harmonious inter communal co-existence in the region and for better future, the office of the undersigned in the interest of the general public, earnestly appealed to all parties concerned to kindly refrain from all these activities with immediate effect, and give peace a chance and avoid yet another death row among communities that has experience the most bitter part of the history. All these recent development in the region without the least respect for the other community while evidently positioning itself for best advantages in times of conflict is an act of war not justified in any civilize society. The Rongmei Naga as a dignified tribes with a rich historical heritage shall not remain a mute spectator to such humiliation and shall remain firm in our commitment for justice.

NSCN Kuki region backs NNPGs under Kitovi, cites role in Simon Commission

Kohima: July 3, 2025
Leaders of the Kuki region within the Naga National political fold have issued a statement reaffirming their support for the Indo-Naga peace process and the Agreed Position signed between the Government of India and the Working Committee of the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs).

In a statement issued by C Singson, Kilonser (MCL), and Lenjakam Haokip, RAO of the Kuki Region, the leaders recalled the historic role played by Kukis in the Naga movement. “On January 10, 1929, when the Naga Club submitted the memorandum to the British Statutory Commission, also known as Simon Commission, our very own Pu Lengjang Kuki was one of the signatories,” the statement read. The memorandum had called for the Nagas to be granted the right to self-determination after the British left India.

“This spirit of resilience, commitment and determination guides the indigenous Kuki community in Nagaland till today,” the leaders stated, adding that Kukis in Nagaland “share a common vision with the Naga people” and are “actively involved” in the peace process.

Referring to the Agreed Position signed on 17 November 2017 between the Government of India and the WC, NNPGs, the Kuki leaders said the agreement “entrenched Naga history, identity and political rights,” and that the subsequent political negotiations have provided a roadmap for an “honorable and acceptable political solution” already available in the form of a “Status Paper.”

While acknowledging splits among senior leaders of different political groups, the statement asserted that “these are non-ideological differences,” and emphasized that “all leaders agree that Indo-Naga political solution, as and when announced, would be welcomed.”

Lauding the leadership of N Kitovi Zhimomi, Ato Kilonser, GPRN/NSCN and Convener of WC, NNPGs, the Kuki region said his stewardship “is critically necessary” at this juncture of Naga history.

In a direct appeal to Naga leaders, the statement urged: “It is a momentous time Naga civil societies, apex tribal bodies, the Nagaland State Government, the Church, the student bodies and concerned prominent citizens of Nagaland and beyond to engage with the Naga political groups and assist in the discourse of convergence for a practical, honorable and acceptable political solution with the Gol.”

Kuki body decries NIA’s 'insurgent' label as 'dangerous misrepresentation

Updated: June 11, 2025
The Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM), the apex traditional and socio-political institution of the Kuki people, has condemned the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for allegedly labeling one of its federating units, Kuki Inpi Tengnoupal, as an “insurgent organization.”

In a statement released on , Janghaolun Haokip, Secretary of Information & Publicity, KIM, described the allegation as “baseless, inflammatory, and deeply irresponsible,” warning that such 'mischaracterization' could gravely impact peace and community relations in Manipur.

“The branding of such a time-honored and revered institution as an insurgent group by the NIA reflects grave ignorance, institutional irresponsibility, and a dangerous distortion of the truth,” Haokip stated.

The Kuki Inpi emphasized that its mandate is to uphold customary laws, maintain social harmony, and represent the collective voice of the Kuki people through non-violent and democratic means. The organization denounced the alleged labeling as not only factually incorrect but also as an affront to indigenous governance structures and a threat to cultural identity.

“This accusation comes at a time when the Kuki people are enduring an existential crisis. To wrongfully classify our grassroots bodies as insurgent is a direct blow to our heritage, dignity, and democratic rights,” the statement further noted.

The KIM has demanded that the NIA immediately retract the allegation, issue a formal clarification, and initiate respectful dialogue with indigenous institutions. The organization also warned that continued insensitivity and institutional misrepresentation could compel the community to seek all democratic avenues to defend their identity and future.

“If this insensitivity continues, the Kuki people will be compelled to explore all democratic avenues to defend our existence, dignity, and rights,” KIM stated, cautioning that peace in the region hinges on mutual respect, not vilification.
