More than 500 United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland-Saraigowra (NDFB-S) militants in Myanmar are said to have been approaching the security forces in separate groups to surrender, reports Deccan Chronicle on May 3. Security sources stated that condition of a large number of ULFA-I and NDFB-S cadres are also stated to be very critical since Myanmar Army has launched operation and demolished Taga camp of the Indian insurgent groups in Myanmar. In March 2019, Myanmar Army had taken over the physical control of National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) headquarters and started driving out Indian terrorists from Taga area of Myanmar. Pointing out that a large number of ULFA-I and NDFB cadres are roaming from village to village in Myanmar for shelter, security sources said that rainy season has made their life more difficult. Referring the intelligence inputs, security source said that these cadres who were driven out of Taga camp, don’t have money to survive in Myanmar so some of them were reported to have been doing “manual work” to earn money. Informing that because of heavy rain, they can’t cross over the hilly terrain to enter India, security sources said that some of them have also approached their respective family members in Assam. Admitting that ULFA-I‘chief’ Paresh Baruah, who has been shuttling between Myanmar and Ruili town in southern China’s Yunnan province, security sources said that Ulfa-I chief has been trying to dissuade his senior comrades not to surrender but many of them are reported to have defied him and left Myanmar against his wish.

The sources stated that new modus operandi for groups like the Islamic State and Al Qaeda is to use the cyber space to motivate youths to work for them and the outfits do not have to send their own men to carry out attacks. Sources pointed out that the police and security forces can keep watch on social media to find out whether anyone is involved in spreading malicious propaganda. Even the Assam Police is doing it. But it is difficult to ascertain if any youth is secretly supporting the ideology of the terror groups. If the terror groups manage to poison the minds of youths by using the cyber space, there is no way the security agencies can be aware of it.

Myanmar army on May 16 launched a flush-out operation against National Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) near Hoyat village and Laonyu village in Myanmar along India-Myanmar border, reports Nagaland Post. According to intelligence sources, the area where the operation was carried out is dominated by the NSCN (K), also known as Konyak region inside Myanmar. Sources also added that ‘’Several rounds were fired during the operation. However, due to connectivity issue, no details could be ascertained’’. Myanmar army may have reportedly targeted the Konyak region command of the Aug Yung-led NSCN (K) based on reports of the group sheltering groups such as United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO). The Myanmar army had taken control over NSCN-K ‘headquarters’ on January 29. The army also took over three outposts and dismantled two training camps set by Manipur and Assam insurgent outfits.

Paresh Baruah of United Liberation Front of Asom- Independent (ULFA-I) has been contacting the old cadres of the outfit, who are either not involved with the peace talks or not satisfied with the progress of talks to win their sympathy, reports Assam Tribune on May 16. According to Police ULFA-I leader started frequently calling some old cadres about a couple of months back. Sources stated that ‘The interesting fact is that some old cadres, who were not in touch with the ULFA-I ‘commander-in-chief’ for 15 to 20 years, started receiving calls from him in recent times. It is a fact that he is not asking them to rejoin the outfit and in most cases, Baruah only asked them what they are doing now and enquired about their families and their condition. But the sudden move to call up old cadres after so many years is a matter of concern’. Sources said that after receiving such calls, some old members of the ULFA may get motivated to work for the outfit in different ways like providing shelter to cadres of the outfit. In fact, on the ULFA raising day on April 7, some old cadres were involved in hoisting flags of the outfit and one person who left the outfit more than two decades back, was arrested in Nagaon District of Assam.

Operating under sleeper cells in Guwahati and adjoining areas, he helped the outfit execute their plans, and was assisted by Jahnabi Saikia. They have confessed to the crime, and our investigation will continue. We have come to know their modus operandi behind the blast, but we are trying to find out the greater design behind it’. According to police, Jahnabi Saikia was not a full-fledged ULFA worker. The grenade attack, and the subsequent arrest of has brought Guwahati’s unmonitored ULFA sleeper cells into focus.

According to Government sources, Myanmar Government has informed India about its plan of deploying Army personnel in the areas along the international border for a long period of time, if required, to flush out the militants, reports Assam Tribune on May 19. A source stated that ‘The Government of India has been informed that Myanmar Army personnel have been directed to stay in that area for four to five months, if required, to ensure that members of the militant groups are driven out of the country’. According to sources, members of the militant groups of North East were staying in Myanmar with the help National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K). Myanmar Army reportedly agreed to allow NSCN-K members to stay in Myanmar in a separate place with the condition that the outfit would not allow any member of other militant groups to stay there, sources added. The Government of Myanmar has also been putting pressure on the NSCN-K to sign the national ceasefire agreement signed by a number of other Myanmar-based militant groups. Sources revealed that though members of other militant outfits are staying in jungles and Naga inhabited villages in Myanmar, Myanmar is attempting to trace them out, adds Assam Tribune. Myanmar has assured India that all out efforts would be made to flush out all the members of the militant groups. Sources also pointed out that it would not be possible for the militants to stay in dense forests because of logistical problems and they would have to stay closer to human habitation. In such circumstances, it would be easier for the Myanmar Army to launch the operation. Moreover, though China has signed an agreement with India to ensure cooperation in dealing with terrorism, Beijing has not yet accepted the fact that Paresh Baruah mostly stays in China, reports Assam Tribune on May 19. Sources stated that “The Indian agencies have submitted details of the addresses where Paresh Baruah (of ULFA-I) has been staying in China, but so far, the government of that country has been denying the fact.”

Although National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), is suspected to be involved in the incident, it has denied its involvement. Though officials said other factions could be behind the killing, suspicion is more on NSCN-IM because of its alleged push for including the Tirap Changlang Longding (TCL) region within ‘greater nagalim’. NSCN -IM has been enjoying the upper hand in TCL region because of pressure on the Khaplang group from both the Indian and Myanmar armed forces. Four communities — Nocte, Tangsa, Tutsa, and Wanch which were clubbed as “other Naga tribes” in the Scheduled Tribe list are said to be the primary reason behind the NSCN-IM’s attempt to control this area, adds The Hindu on May 22. The Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Tirong Aboh is a member of Nocte community. TCL areas has seen turf wars between NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K) and NSCN-IM besides opium cultivation, reports The Hindu. According to a 2013 survey by the Narcotics Control Bureau, opium cultivation is widespread in Anjaw, Lohit and in Upper Siang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh as well.

Arunachal Pradesh Police have not ruled out the possibility of an opium cartel being involved in the May 21 killing of 11 people in Tirap District of Arunachal Pradesh, reports The Hindu. According to Inspector General (IG) Sunil Garg, ‘The ambush on the four vehicles the victims were travelling in bears the sign of an underground group, most likely the NSCN which has many factions. There are chances of connection of these groups with the opium growers’. An Army officer stated that 14-15 assailants were involved in the ambush. Meanwhile, Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju stated that “politicians and important people” were primarily responsible for the situation “as at times they take the help of insurgents”, reports The Hindu on May 23.
