Imphal, May 19: Even as the situation in Nagaland is highly charged following the increasing cases of factional clashes among the Naga underground groups, NSCN-IM chairman Isak Chisi Swu hinted the breaking down of ceasefire while accusing the Government of India of supporting the rival groups.

Isak Chisi Swu also predicted that "we are heading for explosive situation" while adding, "Our people are apprehensive of a large scale human rights violation in Nagalim in the event of breaking down of cease fire.

We are heading towards exlosive situation.

In such critical junction UNPO must not remain a silent apectator".

The NSCN-IM chairman said this while delivering a speech at the IX General Assembly of the Unrepresented Nations People's Organisation (UNPO) held at Brussels in Belgium from May 16 to May 18 .

The speech of Isak Chisi Swu which was dispatched to Newmai News Network last night appealed the UNPO not to remain a silent spectator at this juncture.

"Even if we are deeply committed to negotiated settlement we cannot see any tangible result from eleven years negotiation with the Government of India mainly on account of lack of political will on the part of the latter.

It is also because while officially talking with NSCN the Government of India is covertly or overtly lending its support to the illegal and unmandated arms groups who are standing in the way to peace process and solution.

I hope and trust that our UNPO authorities are closely observing situation in Nagalim," alleged the NSCN-IM chairman.

Before touching the serious note in his speech, Isak Chisi Swu greeted the leaders of UNPO by saying he would like to convey Naga people's high appreciation and admiration for the positive role of the UNPO vis-a-vis the case of its member nations.

"Naga people have big trust in it and hope that it will give more effort to strive and plead for the cause of the justice denied peoples and nation in the days to come too," said the NSCN-IM leader while adding, "UNPO being the apex political organiisation of the member nation,it should be political.Every member nation should also give more attention to strengthening and consolidating the position of UNPO.

It requires of us to work out political and economic strategy for course of action so that the dying organisation is rescued from being succumbed to the policy of the adversaries".

Swu then suggested that the authorities of the UNPO should take more pain in advocating for the cases of the member nations in the UN, EU,and USA as resolved in the last assembly.

"The case of Nagas has become a matter of great concern that requires of utmost attention," added the worried leader.

"To enable UNPO serve more effectively and meaningfully it is being suggested that it is expedient to set up branch offices one in Asia and another in Africa.

Naga people will stand solidly behind UNPO in all weathers till to the last.

All dominated peoples and nations unite for a higher cause," concluded the histotic speech of Isak Chisi Swu at the Belgium meet.
