The Telegraph | Nishit Dholabhai | Calcutta, May 14:
Myanmar has granted autonomy to the NSCN (Khaplang), a Naga rebel group, in three districts of Sagaing, an administrative region in the northwest of the country, bordering Nagaland and Manipur to its north.
Y. Wangtin Naga, an NSCN (Khaplang) leader from India who was one of the six signatories of the April 9 ceasefire with the Myanmar government, told this correspondent, “Nagas have autonomy in Lahe, Layse and Nanyang in Sagaing region and we are looking for self-administration in more Naga populated districts in Kachin.”
Having struck a peace deal with Naypyidaw, the new capital of Myanmar, the rebels are hoping it will give them greater bargaining power with New Delhi.
