FNR Calls for a Shared Purpose The Forum for Naga Reconciliation makes this call after five years of continuously forming relationships, discerning challenges and dilemmas, overcoming deadlocks, developing trust, discovering common ground, and learning the various perspectives and positions of the Naga Political Groups. In order to strengthen the “Covenant of Reconciliation” and move forward together, structural transformation shaping a reconciled political reality within Naga society is needed. This imperative is more urgently felt in light of the present circumstances. The structural framework in the form of a provisional Naga National Government NNG (P), as agreed upon in the “Naga Concordant,” is required to be accommodative of all Naga Political Groups. This is in the common cause of pursuing in a united effort our shared historical and political rights and creating a dignified and peaceful society. The NNG (P) needs to incorporate ways to organize and to inter-relate with mutual respect among all Naga Political Groups towards a shared Naga future. The NNG (P) as a reconciled political structure is based on the principles of the “Covenant of Reconciliation” and the commitment that all groups will cease all violent and provocative actions while honouring the Code of Conduct as agreed in the “Turning Swords into Ploughshares” with an inbuilt disciplinary mechanism. The NNG (P) is required to be people-centered and guided by the common aspirations of the people, and not by any particular group. The NNG (P) should pursue the realization of the Naga aspirations consistent with the principles of justice in which the Nagas can determine, safeguard and exercise their historical and political rights in the contemporary world. The Forum for Naga Reconciliation remains grateful to the Churches, Naga public, civil society (tribe organizations, women, youth, students, GBs and DBs), and particularly the Naga political groups for their consistent and critical solidarity throughout the “Naga Reconciliation: A Journey of Common Hope.” Finally, we are mindful and thankful of God’s ever presence, guidance and blessings in our common search to be reconciled as a nation. Forum for Naga Reconciliation Date: July 7, 2013.
