Journey of Common Hope: by Rev Dr Wati Aier

Rev Dr Wati Aier speaking on ‘Journey of Common Hope’ during the 15 Anniversary celebration of The Forum for Naga Reconciliation at OTS, Bade on July 13, 2023. The Forum for Nagaland Reconciliation (FNR) turned 15, this year. Birthed in the backdrop of intense internecine conflict between the Naga Political Groups (NPGs), in the early part of 2008, the FNR’s reconciliatory efforts saw the warring Naga Political Groups (NPGs) meeting face to face in dialogue that eventually led to the signing of the Covenant of Reconciliation (CoR) a year later. In June, 2009, the CoR was signed by the leaders of the three NPGs of the time— Brig (Retired) S Singnya of the NNC/FGN, SS Khaplang of the NSCN (K) and Isak Chishi Swu of the NSCN (IM), offering “themselves to Naga Reconciliation and Forgiveness based on the Historical and Political Rights of the Nagas.”The FNR commemorated the 15th anniversary of the Naga reconciliation process on July 13 at the Oriental Theological Seminary with leaders of the various NPGs. FNR Convenor, Rev Dr Wati Aier recalled the initial steps were not easy given the situation at the time, stating, “The Journey of common hope, on many occasions, was not predictable. It was not as fast and direct as we thought it would be.” Read full report here : https://www.morungexpress.com/fnr-com...
