On September 23, 2025, a Naga women’s security unit tasked with the protection of Ang Mai, Chairperson of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang/Ang Mai (NSCN-K/AM), was seen.
According to the NSCN-K/AM group, this women’s unit is part of Anne Mai’s broader security team and serves jointly in that role.
Ang Mai had previously served as the personal secretary and Home Minister under Chairman Khaplang of the NSCN-K. After Khaplang passed away in 2017, leadership of the NSCN-K was taken up separately by U Kham Ngor and U Yung Aung.
Later, in 2023, when NSCN-K/YA Chairman Yung Aung expelled Ang Mai, he established a splinter group, the NSCN-K/AM, on July 2, 2023.
At present, the Indian government has declared all NSCN-K factions as unlawful associations, with the designation set to take effect on September 28.
All NSCN-K factions are armed groups operating against India, composed of Naga militants who aim to unite the Naga territories across India and Myanmar to establish a sovereign Naga nation.
