Killing of Late Pfokrehe James
Tahamzam (Senapati H.Q.), August 07, 2013
Office of the
United Naga Council, Tahamzam (Senapati H.Q.)
Date: 07th August, 2013
The United Naga Council condoles the death of Late Pfokrehe James, Lt Col of NSCN(Khole-Kitovi) who fell to the bullets of unidentified gunmen
yesterday evening. We condemn the forcible abduction in full public view and subsequent killing of late Pfokrehe which is understood to be result of
factionalism within the Naga family. The UNC support the noble mission of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation of bringing together all the Naga political group through reconciliation. It has also been the endeavour of the UNC
throughout our district mobilisation and political tours, be it in Ukhrul, Chandel, Tamenglong or Senapati and also in our public appeals to carry the
message of the wish of the Naga people for peace and reconciliation among Naga brethren. It is shocking that the appeal of the people has not been
heeded to and violence has been resorted to instead.
While condemning the killing of late Pfokrehe James, we appeal to all Naga political groups to cease from any form of factional violence so as to create
space for real reconciliation among our people.
In this moment of grief and loss, we reach out to the wife and children of the late Pfokrehe James and also to Rabunamei village and the Mao people in
general with our sympathies and solidarity. May the good Lord bless them with the grace to bear the loss of a father and husband, and a valued member in the
village and community and the strength to carry on with life once again in His protection.
