Nine militant groups of the northeast, including the NSCN-Khaplang and the ULFA faction led by Paresh Baruah, have come together to form a new unified front during a meeting held recently in Myanmar, security sources said.
The move to form the “United National Liberation Front of West South East Asia” comes close on the heels of S S Khaplang, chairman of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang, abrogating a 14-year-old ceasefire agreement with the Centre last month.
Khaplang, a Hemi Naga from Myanmar, played a key role in organising the meeting of militant groups where the decision to form the new grouping was made, security sources told Hindustan Times.
Though Khaplang will be the nominal head of the new grouping, a key role will be played by Paresh Baruah, the chief of the United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent who has consistently opposed peace talks with the Central government, the sources said.
Both Khaplang and Baruah are currently based in Myanmar. Baruah moved to Myanmar after authorities in Bangladesh launched a crackdown on his group, the sources said.
Besides the NSCN-Khaplang and ULFA-Independent, other groups that participated in the meeting held at Taga in Sagaing division of Myanmar earlier this month were the Kangleipak Communist Party, Kanglei Yawol Kunna Lup, People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak, People’s Liberation Army, United National Liberation Front and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Songbijit faction).
The new grouping is dominated by militant organisations from Manipur, which refer to the northeastern region as “West South East Asia”.
The security sources said Chinese intelligence played an active role in encouraging the northeastern groups to come together on a common platform. Chinese intelligence operatives are active in the Sagaing region and weapons are often shipped to the northeastern groups through the China-Myanmar border.
“The Chinese have promised to provide weapons and logistics to the new grouping as they want to keep things boiling in the northeast in view of their claim on the state of Arunachal Pradesh,” a source said.
Earlier, the Chinese intelligence had played a role in bringing together several militant groups from the Manipur Valley in an umbrella organisation called CorCom. Most of these groups have now joined the new grouping.
Several groups from India’s northeastern states have training camps in Sagaing division. After the NSCN-Khaplang signed a truce with Myanmarese authorities in 2012, it has consolidated its position in the neighbouring country.
The NSCN-Khaplang split in late March after Khaplang abrogated the ceasefire signed with the Central government in 2001 and wound up the ceasefire supervisory board. The group had at the time accused the Central government of not being serious about discussing the issue of “sovereignty” for Nagas.作者: 虎天 时间: 2015-4-26 17:27 标题: 虽然不清楚，但是中间的明显秃笔种啊。 作者: huitong 时间: 2015-4-26 17:37 标题: 这个要大力支持！ 作者: mm6fan 时间: 2015-4-26 17:40 标题: 三锅安全部门消息人士说：东北的9个武装派别包括那嘎民族社会主义委员会-K派(NSCN-Khaplang）和Paresh Baruah领导下的阿萨姆联合解放阵线最近在缅甸举行的一次会议中，走到了一起，建立一个新的统一战线 那嘎民族在印度有那嘎兰省邦，在缅甸实皆省区有那嘎民族自治区作者: mm6fan 时间: 2015-4-26 17:49 标题: 组建“西东南亚民族联合解放阵线”的行动，是继那嘎民族社会主义委员会-K派(NSCN-Khaplang）主席S S Khaplang上月废除与中央为期14年的停火协议之后进行的。 作者: mm6fan 时间: 2015-4-26 17:54 标题: 安全部门消息人士告诉印度斯坦时报，Khaplang是一个来自缅甸的半那嘎血统人，在组织这次会议中扮演了关键角色 作者: mm6fan 时间: 2015-4-26 17:57 标题: 虽然Khaplang将成为新组织名义上的领导人，但阿萨姆联合解放阵线主席 Paresh Baruah也将扮演一个关键角色，他一贯反对与中央政府和谈。 作者: mm6fan 时间: 2015-4-26 18:00 标题: Khaplang和Baruah目前都以缅甸为基地。在孟加拉当局对其组织实施镇压之后，Baruah转移到了缅甸。 作者: mm6fan 时间: 2015-4-26 18:10 标题: 除了NSCN-Khaplang和 ULFA-Independent，其他参加本月早些时候在缅甸实皆省举行的会议的组织还包括*****，一大堆各路义军。等等，为啥我数了总数是8个呢？ 本帖最后由 mm6fan 于 2015-4-26 18:13 编辑
