The Naga national flag will be hoisted half-mast on Thursday as a mark of respect to Kemp, the ministry of information of publicity of the NSCN(I-M) said in a release on Wednesday.
The NSCN(I-M) said the Naga people believe that God must have inspired her to work on the Naga national flag to give political meaning and identity to the Naga people as a nation.
“It was this beautiful flag with rainbow and Bethlehem star that inspired and lead the Naga people throughout. This flag is also identified as God’s covenant with the Naga people that He will be with the Nagas,” it said.
