In a significant development reflecting deep frustration over the prolonged delay in resolving the Naga political issue, a group of Naga youths has come together under a common platform called “Fed-Up Nagas,” urging the Government of India to implement the long-pending Naga political solution based on the 2015 Framework Agreement with NSCN (I-M) and the 2017 Agreed Position with WC/NNPGs.
The development was announced during a press conference held at The Layover Hotel, 3rd Mile, where members clarified that “Fed-Up Nagas” is not a formal organisation, political party, or tribal body, but a collective platform of individuals from different tribes, regions, and even Naga communities outside Nagaland. Speakers said the forum has no formal leadership structure such as president or general secretary and aims to represent the voice of Naga youths across boundaries.
Addressing the media, Kahuto I. Awomi said the movement arose from the lived realities of Naga youths facing prolonged political uncertainty and socio-economic hardship. He stressed that the platform is not raising new demands but simply seeking immediate implementation of the signed agreements. Calling the movement pro-peace and pro-future, Awomi urged New Delhi to act swiftly, stating that continued delay has intensified the struggles of young people.
Ninoto Khekiye Chishi said the movement does not target any individual or organisation but challenges a flawed system that has normalised temporary political arrangements for decades. He linked the prolonged delay in resolving the Naga issue to serious social and economic consequences, including corruption, monopolies, syndicates, weak law enforcement, and the rise of a gun culture. He warned that fear, silence, and injustice have become embedded in society, leaving deep psychological scars on the younger generation.
Chishi described the movement as a “call to courage,” urging people to choose dignity over dependency and responsibility over silence, and emphasised that future generations should not inherit the burden of unresolved political conflict.
Aga Rengma said the platform represents the silent majority of Naga youths whose voices have long gone unheard. He stated that the name “Fed-Up Nagas” reflects widespread frustration over corruption, nepotism, and unfulfilled promises. Reaffirming support for both the 2015 Framework Agreement and the 2017 Agreed Position, he accused the Centre of delaying their implementation despite years of negotiations and a clear mandate from the Naga people. He warned that continued delay risks weakening Naga unity and called on the Government of India to honour its commitments.
Concluding the press meet, Awomi appealed to elders, parents, and youths to support the peaceful and non-violent platform. He urged young people to move beyond social media activism and unite for their collective future, while seeking prayers, participation, and solidarity from the community.
Organisers said updates on the movement will be shared through the “Fed-Up Nagas” website and social media channels, inviting Naga youths everywhere to join the initiative peacefully for a common future.
