Guwahati: Zo Indigenous Identity Card<\/a> prepared by the Zo<\/a> Reunification Organisation (ZoRO) in Aizawl was inaugurated on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Mizoram state assembly speaker Lalbiakzama on Wednesday inaugurated the \u2018Zo Indigenous Identity Card\u2019.<\/p>\n

Though divided into 3 countries and states, the brotherhood and link of the Zo people continue which demands that all of them help each other, he said.<\/p>\n

He said that as compared to other indigenous peoples, Zo indigenous people are still small in number and should strive more for unity.<\/p>\n

In the identity card logos of UN and ZORO are printed at the top while under \u2018ZO INDIGENOUS\u2019 – \u2018Affiliated with United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) No-1236524 Dated 21 May 2004\u2019. The Identity card numbers are classified as \u2013 IPI (Indigenous Peoples of India), IPM (Myanmar) and IPB (Bangladesh).<\/p>\n


ZORO general secretary L. Ramdinliana Renthlei said preparation of the identity card will be officially informed to the governments of India, Myanmar and Bangladesh as well as the UN.Following the violence in Manipur over 10,000 Kuki-Zo people had taken shelter in neighbouring Mizoram of which at least 2000 had come back to Manipur.The ethnic violence between the non-tribals Meiteis and tribal Kuki-Zo broke out in the northeastern state on May 3 last year after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the hill districts to protest the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.<\/p>\n

Mizoram chief minister Lalduhoma in August this year expressed gratitude to the union home minister for sanctioning Rs 10 crore for displaced people. Lalduhoma reportedly proposed for unification of Kuki-Zo under a single leadership while addressing Kuki<\/a> diaspora gathering in the United States on September 4, 2024.<\/p>\n

The total number of refugees from Myanmar taking shelter in Mizoram has risen to over 35,120. The Myanmarese took shelter in Mizoram in different phases after the military takeover in the conflict-ridden country in February 2021. <\/p>\n

Around 2,000 Bangladeshi tribals, belonging to the Bawm community, took shelter in Mizoram from November 2022. The Bangladeshi refugees from Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of southeast Bangladesh fled from their villages and sought refuge in Mizoram after an offensive by the Bangladeshi Army against the insurgent group Kuki-Chin National Army (KNA).<\/p>\n

The Kuki-Zomi-Chin- Bawm tribes in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Manipur share ethnic ties, and cultural and linguistic similarities with the Mizo people.
