ULFA, NSCN (K) active in Myanmar
By A Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, Aug 20 ?Even as the security forces are
striving to contain militancy in Assam as well as in
the other North Eastern States, the ULFA and the NSCN
(K) have consolidated their bases in Myanmar. 
According to a confessional statement made by a
senior ULFA member of the Marigaon district over 100
ULFA members are undergoing training in different NSCN
(K) camps in Myanmar. The Kachin trained member who
was arrested by the Marigaon police recently, said
that these camps are located at dense forest at
Myanmar and it requires 15 days from Mon district in
Nagaland to reach the camps. 
?Our president Arabinda Rajkhowa frequently visits
these camps and holds discussion with the NSCN (K)
leadership regarding  joint strategies. Rajkhowa Sir
has close links with the senior leaders of the group,?
he said, adding that there are three insurgent groups
in Myanmar including PLA, NSCN (K) and the ULFA, but
the NSCN (K) plays a major role in the area. He
confessed that he had gone to Myanmar to resolve a
crisis of Marigaon district with the leadership and
spent six months there. 
The senior member also revealed that the organisation
is now concentrating on Myanmar as other neighbouring
areas are becoming more vulnerable in view of the
stepped up operation of the security forces. 
It may be mentioned here that the ULFA had
established strong base in Myanmar during 1987-88 and
later it shifted some of its camps to Bhutan in 1992. 
The ULFA member also confessed that there are sharp
differences among the ?Army? and the ?Political?
cadres causing serious problem for the organisation. 
?Army cadres often blame the political members saying
that due to their incompetence, the Army cadres have
failed to collect funds and losing ground among the
masses, he informed. The member informed that the
organisation is facing severe funds crunch as its all
sources are getting dried up.
