Because some are objecting to what the National Socialist Council of Naga-Khaplang/ Anmai (NSCN-K/AM) will sign the ceasefire with the Myanmar Tatmadaw after discussion, everyone is interested in what is the attitude of the Naga National Party (NNP) towards what the NSCN-K/AM will sign the ceasefire.

The Myanmar Tatmadaw and the NSCN-K/AM discussed on 26th January 2024 and on 5th February 2024 in Khamti about the ceasefire and the security of Naga region.

And then, the two sides discussed in Monywa in the second week of September 2024 and for the fourth time, they discussed in Khamti on 27th September 2024 and agreed to sign the preliminary ceasefire agreement at the Region level. 

However, they have not been able to sign the agreement up to now (25th October 2024) for some reasons. They are making preparation to go on discussing.

The National Socialist Council of Naga-Khaplang/Yung Aung (NSCN-K/YA) led by U Yung Aung is objecting to what the NSCN-K/AM will sign the ceasefire and if the NSCN-K/AM signed the ceasefire, it would be designated as a protestor of the national movement, released on 22nd October the NSCN-K/YA.

The NSCN-K/YA expressed its political position kind of and supporting or protesting might be their normal response, chairman of the Naga National Party, U Shu Maung told CNI News.

" The NSCN-/YA has expressed its political position kind of and it's their normal response. It might emerge clashes. But it won't produce a worrisome situation. If one of the worst situation appeared, they would want to tell that is their political position." he said.

Whether the NSCN-K/AM would sign the ceasefire or not, the NSCN-K/YA would not allow any performance that would hurt their region for the sake of anyone who wanted to corrupt, announced the NSCN-K/YA. Battles often take place between the NSCN_K/AM and the NSCN-K/YA.

If armed groups started walking on the political path, the government should welcome it, chairman of the Arakan Front Party (AFP), Dr. Aye Maung told CNI News.

" If armed groups start walking on the path of peace, they should be welcome by the governments because the political problem can be solved by means of political dialogue. There are a lot of armed groups walking on the political path. There were about 10 NCA signatories. But some of them resigned from the NCA. It's not good. Having persuaded the NCA signatories, the government should carry out to win a political improvement. If there are seven NCA signatories, the three NCA signatories that have resigned will have to be persuaded. Moreover, if new armed groups want to sign the NCA, they should be welcome. the National Solidarity and Peacekeeping Negotiation Committee should welcome the Naga group." he said.

While seeing the ENNO/ENDA

The NSCN-K/AM is negotiating with the Myanmar Tatmadaw to sign a Region level ceasefire and later it would consider whether it should go to the Union level.
