CHURACHANDPUR, Oct 8:   The Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum (ITLF) has strongly condemned the attack on the residence of the secretary of the ITLF in Dorcas Veng, New Lamka by unidentified individuals at around 10:30 p.m on Monday. This incident occurred after ITLF leaders received several threats following the Zo United meeting on October 5, 2024.

The ITLF asserted that such actions are attempts to undermine their progress in the ongoing conflict. They emphasized that the attack targets not only individuals but also threatens the broader community’s quest for justice and peace. The forum highlighted that violence, whether politically motivated or arising from other factors, undermines democratic principles and contravenes the recently signed peaceful reconciliation agreement under Zo United.

They called for immediate and decisive action from authorities to investigate the incident, ensure the safety of the ITLF Secretary and others at risk, and hold those responsible accountable. The forum stressed that using violence to silence or intimidate leaders only exacerbates divisions and creates fear within communities.
