Naga Hoho appeals to the Naga people to embrace peace and unity, setting aside differences and fostering an environment of mutual respect and understanding. In the light of the current environment of “broken society “the Naga Hoho recognizes the urgency of addressing the situation and emphasizes that distrust and mutual suspicion is never the solution. The diverse opinions, demands, and issues within the Naga tribes should be approached through peaceful means, fostering dialogue and understanding among all sections of society.”
Naga Hoho firmly believes that through peaceful means, we can address differences, find common ground, and build a harmonious society”, it added. The organization has been actively engaged in fostering understanding, dialogue, and reconciliation, striving to create an atmosphere where diverse communities can coexist in harmony. To find peace, brotherhood and unity must be the cornerstone. Only when we work together can we achieve our goal for peace. Durable solutions emanate from people who work together. This is not for us; this is for our children and the generations to come. This is the time to talk to each other, not about each other or against each other. Prove to all and sundry that with the available opportunities, people we can make things happen. Show to the rest of world that indeed, with the spirit of reconciliation, forgiveness, we can make things easier to chart a better future for our Naga people.
The road to recovery and sustainable peace remain long and winding, as we continue to face the challenges of trust deficit within our communities, exacerbated by repeated attempt by our enemy to dismantle the social fabric of the Naga communities and torn us apart as a result of decades of violent, disunity, killing, conflicts, these require us to think out of the box and solidify our convergence approach to inclusive development. We are still recovering from lost opportunities, eradicating prejudices and discrimination within our family and between our people, cultures and denominations so that we can foster healing and reconciliation.
The Naga Hoho is meant to address the clamor for the right to determine our own socio-political-economic development. Therefore, we must build mutual trust and continue to hope that we can overcome the various differences that divide us and work for the common good for the sake of our future. This is an opportunity to strengthen solidarity and unity of purpose. We pin our trust that we can pursue its tasks to complete the transitional process towards Unity of purpose amongst the Naga people. The present Naga situation requires each bonafide Naga tribal body to overcome personal interests and find common grounds for collaboration. Only then can we claim at the end of the day that “we have led our people well.”
The combined wisdom of the tribal organizations and of those from the different sectoral representatives and apex Naga CSOs can make a difference in this extended transition of “UNITY AND BROTHERHOOD”
