The magazine "Foreign Affairs" reported on November 3, that the leader of the anti-government armed group in northeastern India, Muivah, appeared in Manipur, reiterating the "Nagalim" independence demand. On October 27, Thuingaleng Muivah, the leader of the anti-government armed organization "Naga National Socialist Council (Isak-Muivah faction)" (NSCN), returned to his hometown Ukhrul in Manipur, which was his first return to his hometown after 60 years of joining the anti-government movement, and was welcomed by a large number of local supporters in Manipur. He once claimed to be the "Prime Minister of the Naga People's Republic," and it is rumored that he received training in China. During his stay in Manipur, Muivah stated that NSCN(IM) has never given up the claim for sovereignty over "Nagalim" and will not "compromise on issues of national flag and constitution." In 1997, NSCN(IM) signed a ceasefire agreement with the Indian government, and in 2003, peace talks were initiated. In 2002 and 2015, both sides signed framework agreements twice, but failed to reach a final solution. NSCN-IM advocates establishing a single administrative region of a large "Nagalim" (editor's note: including Nagaland, as well as the so-called "Naga inhabited areas" in Manipur, Assam, and the Chinese South Tibet region), and obtain its Charter and regional flag. Sources said that the possibility of the Indian government accepting the above goals is "extremely slim."
