Conveying best wishes on the occasion of the raising day and the new year, KRA publicity secretary Th Misao called upon all Kuki armed groups to bury all forms of confrontations and conflicts among the Kuki UG groups.
Not only with Kuki UG groups, the KRA wished to work together in peace with all the insurgent groups of the North East region, he said.
Greeting the people of Manipur on the arrival of new year, Misao called upon all for mutual love and peaceful co-existence.
With the objective to regain the erstwhile Kukigam (Kuki-land) that allegedly existed before the British invasion, the KRA was set up on December 29, 1999 under the leadership of late K Hangsing, Misao said.
Saying that Kukis ruled over their ancestral land freely before the arrival British colonists, Th Misao noted that the uprising of Kukis against annexation of their land by British in 1917-19 is known as Kuki Rebellion in history.
He further claimed that Kukigam covers Chittagong hill tracts of Bangladesh, Saigang division of Myanmar and several parts of India.
