NSCN/GPRN-R (Akato) accepts Khehovi Chophi’s resignation

Akato Chophy submits resignation to NSCN/GPRN-R, which is accepted.

The NSCN/GPRN-R (Akato) has accepted the resignation of its chairman, Khehovi Chophi. Chophi submitted his resignation on April 28, 2023, citing personal reasons.

The NSCN/GPRN-R is a Naga separatist group that has been fighting for an independent Nagaland since 1988. Chophi has been the group's chairman since 2012.

In his resignation letter, Chophi said that he had decided to step down after "much thought and deliberation." He said that he had "served the Naga people to the best of my ability" and that he was "proud of the progress that we have made."

The NSCN/GPRN-R has not yet announced a successor to Chophi.

Chophi's resignation comes at a time of uncertainty for the Naga peace process.

The Naga peace process has been ongoing for over two decades, but there has been little progress in recent years. The Indian government and the NSCN/GPRN-R have been unable to agree on a settlement that is acceptable to both sides.

Chophi's resignation could further complicate the peace process. He was seen as a moderate leader who was committed to finding a peaceful solution to the Naga conflict.

It is unclear what impact Chophi's resignation will have on the Naga peace process. The Indian government has said that it is committed to continuing the peace process, but it is unclear whether it is willing to make the concessions that are necessary to reach a settlement.

The NSCN/GPRN-R is a powerful Naga separatist group.

The NSCN/GPRN-R is one of the most powerful Naga separatist groups. It has a strong presence in Nagaland and its neighboring states.

The NSCN/GPRN-R has been accused of human rights abuses, including extortion, kidnapping, and murder. However, the group has also been involved in peace talks with the Indian government.

The NSCN/GPRN-R is a complex organization with a long history. Its future is uncertain, but it is clear that the group will continue to play a major role in the Naga peace process.
