The NWU urged both the parties involved to cease from resorting to any form of violence or to insist on any pre-condition(s) and suggested that “an amicable settlement through Naga customary laws and practices” would establish “a sense of secured and shared brotherhood.” We appreciate the TPO’s initiatives for taking up the negotiation process on the issue and the Mao Council for their willingness to come together, it stated.
