The Wrong one will find you in peace and leave you in pieces; and the Right one may find you in pieces but leave you to peace", says the Karma lesson.

Gist says - As the deadline has ended and justice is being 'disregarded'; TNL declares Non Cooperation towards Wung Tangkhul Region of NSCN-IM (Hebron).
It is still cleverly done, they say.
However, the fact that the signatories to the statement include the name of the president of the TNL -- Sword Vashum -- locals say it has a special significance.
Meanwhile, another important body Kaishan Rungyond Naga (KRN) of the Naga Self-Administered Zone in Sagaing Division in Myanmar has issued a statement expressing deep anguish and concern over the Hongbei incident of March 28, in which one of its members, 'Sergeant Pahnle Ahlahpya', lost his life.
Sagaing Region with an an area of 93,527 square kilometres is the second-largest subdivision of Myanmar.
“To learn that their lives were taken under circumstances that remain unclear or unjustified raises serious moral, ethical, and institutional questions,” the statement read.
Calling for a transparent and comprehensive investigation, KRN raised four key questions for those in 'top leadership':
1. What circumstances led to these internal acts of violence?
2. Were proper checks, safeguards, and military protocols followed before such actions were taken?
3. Who authorized these decisions, and what accountability measures are in place?
4. What systemic reforms are being introduced to prevent such incidents in the future?

All these might also suggest that some key leaders in the Hebron are losing control.
In Delhi various pros and cons associated with the happenings are being monitored.
There is a significant roles of foreign nations. In the past, it it true, the ULFA was hyper active against India and had business interests in Bangladesh and a few other countries.
However, it was also well known that around the same time Anthony Shimray was a chief arms and cash handler for NSCN-IM.
In fact those in the know of things claim today that -- the NSCN-IM had better contacts in the arms deal through its master operator Anthony Shimray.
In fact, to substantiate these claims - oldies among experts say -- even Swedish writer Bertil Lintner had written in his articles and book 'Great Game East' that the NSCN-IM had a very credible agent in Hong Kong. Importantly, the agent remained 'unnamed' for a long time.
The clash in Manipur among Naga cadres (that too belonging to one camp for long) could be linked to something very big and significant. It could be even more that mere extortion money, timber business and other trades.
The official analysts are trying to go deeper to find -
** What were Eastern Flank cadres doing inside Manipur?
*** And the vital question - who controls the illegal trade including areca nut and timber trade inside the portent Naga group?
Old analysts also say that though India had helped Bangladesh attain freedom from Pakistan; Islamabad operatives could quite fast able to generate support in Bangladesh and started influencing certain critical anti-India developments by encouraging insurgent groups in north east.

| Bitter Truth of March 28 |
After 1996 when Sheikh Hasina was in power -- ULFA leaders spread the word that "it was no longer a safe bet for us (them) to be in Bangladesh".
But in Oct 2021 when the BNP led by Khaleeda Zia won the polls; many cadres from multiple militant organisations in the north east of India "could return" to Bangladesh.
