Centre and NSCN-K (Niki) Faction Extend Ceasefire Agreement by One Year
The Centre and the Niki faction of NSCN-K have extended their ceasefire agreement for one more year, effective until September 7, 2027. Signed by representatives from both the ceasefire supervisory board and the Ministry of Home Affairs, the agreement aims to foster lasting peace in Nagaland with the involvement of the Naga people. It requires adherence to mutually agreed ground rules, which can be reviewed and amended by both parties. The Niki faction first entered into a ceasefire with the Centre in 2021 but is not directly involved in the main Naga political talks.
