The Indian village which saw the homecoming of one of the world's oldest rebels

Thuingaleng Muivah, the general secretary of Naga insurgent group NSCN (I-M), returned to his Manipur village after over 60 years, symbolizing a historic homecoming for one of the world's oldest rebels seeking Naga sovereignty. Muivah's journey from the jungles of Myanmar to India's capital has spanned decades of insurgency, factional conflicts, and ceasefires in pursuit of Naga nationalism and autonomy. Despite facing criticism for alleged abuses and extortion, Muivah maintains demands for a separate Naga flag and constitution, underscoring the complexities of the unresolved Naga conflict and his enduring role in the region.
