DIMAPUR — Three Western Sumi frontal organisations on Thursday issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the NSCN/GPRN Khango-Vusshe group over the assault and abduction of Kiyeto Zhimomi, Head GB of Vikuho village.
Following a joint emergency meeting, the Western Sumi Hoho (WSH), the Western Sumi Kukami Hoho (WSKH) and the Western Sumi Youth Front (WSYF) said they were serving a formal ultimatum to the group over the “unacceptable” incident.
In a joint statement, the organisations demanded an unconditional apology addressed to the Western Sumi Kukami in particular and the Sumi community in general, to be released through the media.
They also demanded the immediate surrender and arrest of all perpetrators involved in the incident to law enforcement agencies.

The statement further called for the retraction of the “entirely baseless” claim that the WSKH, WSYF and KGKK had mediated between the parties through dialogue, saying the statement was intended to misinform the public.
The organisations also demanded the shifting of the ceasefire monitoring cell from Thilixu village, citing violation of ceasefire ground rules.
Emphasising that the demands must be met within 48 hours from the time of the notice, the organisations warned that failure to comply within the stipulated period would compel the Western Sumi to declare total non-cooperation against the NSCN/GPRN Khango-Vusshe group across all Western Sumi-inhabited regions.
