Newton’s Third Law to Operate
Before we analyse the 19-Point Yangon Declaration, let us first deal with Myanmar army’s decision to throw out all anti-Indian rebels from that country. Thus, the safe havens of insurgents would evaporate forcing them to surrender to India.
The Yangon Declaration, adopted by India and Myanmar, aims to promote bilateral relations between the two neighboring nations with cleansing of insurgency topping the agenda.
The violent action of Northeast insurgents began way back in the 1960’s with Nagaland being its hub. By 1980, most of the Northeast rebel groups had their safe havens in Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh.
The ULFA of Assam and NSCN (Isak-Muivah) and NSCN (K) of Nagaland set up bustling camps in mountainous Shan State of Myanmar bordering China’s Yunnan province. They were followed by almost all terror groups of Northeast India. Myanmar’s Sagaing Region, Hukwang Valley, Rakhine and Kachin pocket were safe havens of the militants.
The Kachin Independence Army even imparted training to cadres of ULFA and other militant outfits. The Northeast rebels also forged relationship with the United Wa State Army (UWSA) of Myanmar operating from Shan State.

The ULFA set up a camp at Ruili and Yangjian with the active assistance of UWSA.
But the equal and opposite reactions now have begun, as Myanmar is going to launch operations at Taga and all other parts of the country where the rebels from Northeast India had been carrying out their actions as part of the 19-Point Yangon Declaration that encompasses many aspects, primary among them being demolition of militant safe havens.
The “opposite and equal reaction” will gain momentum as the Trilateral Highway, Rih-Tedim and Kaladan Projects would make “action” of rebels in Myanmar very shaky.
