NSCN-IM Eastern Flank Forms Provisional Government Amid Internal Split
The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) has split, with its Myanmar-based Eastern Flank faction forming a provisional government led by Ikato I. Chishi Swu. This move follows internal tensions, including recent killings of Eastern Flank cadres, which the faction attributes to attacks by the Hebron-based leadership. The Eastern Flank rejects the Hebron leadership's approach to peace talks with India and vows to continue political and armed resistance for Naga sovereignty, seeking support from Naga national workers and the public.
