Appeal to Chang and Yimchungru tribes
P. Longon: State Health and Family Welfare minister, P. Longon has appealed to both the Chang and Yimchunger tribes in Tuensang district to maintain utmost restraint at any cost to prevail a peaceful atmosphere for all.
In a press release, Longon said that the ongoing crisis could have been prevented, if all had reasoned together and acted upon the situation through negotiation before allowing the situation going out of hand. “We have to blame ourselves and not others”, he added. Since all have been dragged into the crisis, Longon said everyone has to come out of it. “We cannot expect others to rescue us, but we have to come from this situation by ourselves” and also with the help of the state government machineries, he said.
He said that the government was trying its best to contain the situation by alerting all government agencies, deployment of additional forces and seizure of arms in the affected areas and villages.
“I therefore appealed to all my district people particularly Chang and Yimchunger to cooperate with the government machineries and restrain from further violent activities”, he said. Stating that there has been “matrimonial relations” passed down for generations between the villages, he also reminded that people needed to learn how fore-fathers had lived in peaceful co-existence for generations.
Though people practiced head-hunting in olden days it brought nothing good to the society, rather Longon said it only brought curse for generations. Citing these reasons, he said times have changed and as Christians today, people need to refrain from going back to such culture. As Christian faith propagates, we need to love one another and also love our enemies, he added.
Moreover, Longon appealed to people that as the board exams have already commenced, creation of unwanted situation would only hamper the career and future of the students. Stating that this was the most crucial time of their lives (students), Longon said nothing should hamper their future. Further, Longon said everyone one should ask for forgiveness from almighty God for all the wrong doings and also resolve the issues and pray for peace in Tuensang and the state.
SBTA: Expressing deep pain at the turn of events following the conflict between the brethrens of Chang and Yimchunger tribes, the Sümi Baptist Theological Association (SBTA) Wednesday asserted “killing each other is not a solution at all”, adding that if that was so then the Naga imbroglio could have been solved long time ago.
