NEW DELHI
(Reuters) – India signed a peace agreement on Monday with a leading
tribal separatist group in the country’s remote northeast that had waged
guerrilla war for six decades against central rule from New Delhi.
Officials from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s
government signed the accord with the National Socialist Council of
Nagaland (NSCN-IM), one of several separatist
groups active in the remote and underdeveloped northeastern region
bordering China, Myanmar, Bangladesh and Bhutan.
The NSCN-IM has been fighting
for an independent ethnic Naga homeland uniting parts of the mountainous
northeast with areas of neighbouring Myanmar, where it runs a
government-in-exile. At least one other Naga faction remains at war with
New Delhi.
New Delhi and the NSCN-IM have been in talks since 1997.
