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.

United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I)‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah stated that no largescale desertions took place after the operation by the Myanmar Army and said that a few surrenders would not affect the outfit, reports Assam Tribune on May 9. Paresh Baruah however admitted that ULFA-I and other rebel groups were forced to move out of the Taga area of Myanmar following operations by Myanmar Army. But he said also added that they could stay in other parts of Myanmar. He stated that ‘It is a fact that a handful of our members surrendered, and it will not affect the outfit. In the past also, some members of the ULFA surrendered but that did not finish us off. If the Government has any proof of a large number of members contacting any security agency expressing desire to surrender, such conversations should be made public’.

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.

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.”
