The programme was attended by all the associations members of KABC and it was indeed a grand success. Praise the Lord!Greetings in the sweetest name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is a joy and honor for me to present the Annual report of KABC in the midst of God s faithful servants. As witnessed in some states in north-east India in the past years, Karbi Anglong also has a bitter experience of arson of both government offices and private properties, lost of innocent lives during the year due to demand of statehood and misunderstanding between the Karbi Rengma underground groups. As a result, indefinite bandh, curfew were imposed especially in July August 2013, normal life of the people and religious programs were affected, many people were rendered homeless and took refuge in relief camps. Tension prevailed for some months and people could not move freely. In spite of all these untoward incidents taken place in Karbi Anglong, we experienced God s providence, provisions and leading hands through His people. By the prayers of His faithful people, peace has been restored now. The KABC extends heartfelt thanks to CBCNEI family, particularly, the Assam Baptist Convention, NBCC and CBCNEI office for extending financial and material supports for the affected people of Karbi and Rengma. The KABC also gratefully acknowledges the kind concern shown to our affected people by APBAid, BWAid, CASA, NEICORD and so on. May the Lord continue to use them as His mighty instruments for His own glory. The KABC covets your continuous prayer supports so that peace may prevail in our land even in the days to come. With this hope and aspiration, I present here below some highlights of the activities of the KABC in 2013.The violence that was erupted between the Karbis and the Rengmas was very unfortunate. The lost incurred was enormous innocent people were killed; houses and granaries reduced to ashes, livestock and all their properties were shattered. In these the KABC during the 34th Annual General Meeting held at Deithor Baptist Church from 13th 16th March 2014, adopted the following resolutions for peace process in Karbi Anglong.1. We, the KABC family comprising of 13 members Associations of more than 60,000 population, which include Karbi, Rengma, Garo, Bodo, Adivasi and Zeme express deep sorrow over the incidents and we stand in solidarity with the affected people.Thousands of Karbi protesters demanding for separatestatehood leads to imposed curfew in Diphu and Dongkamukam area of KarbiAnglong. The angry protesters rampaged several government offices, governmenttransports and vehicles set on fire. Protesters removed railway tracks and hamperedthe train services in the state.The rebel outfits has created tension in the Rengmainhabitat area at Borlangso, near Chokihola after signing an agreement with theRengma people on 9th June 2013, and thus many families sold off theirlivestock and fled from their villages and moved to safer places. Followingmass appeals by various civil society organizations, the rebel Karbi People sLiberation Tigers (KPLT) has urged the displaced Rengmas people (mostlyfarmers) in Karbi Anglong to return home under full assurance of peacefulcoexistence. KPLT leaders in a press note has denied allegation leveledagainst them.Karbi Anglong Baptist Convention (KABC) express deep shock over the issue of the rebel outfits which aggravate the Rengma Naga inhabited area of Chokihola, which is falling under the jurisdiction of the Karbi Anglong Baptist Convention (KABC). According to the information received from the sources, the rebel Karbi People Liberation Tiger (KPLT) forced to sign an agreement with Rengma village GBs on 9th June 2013, to hand over the other rebel group called Rengma Naga Hills Protection Force (RNHPF), and also demanded the Rengma village GBs to make the RNHPF rebels surrender with their arms and ammunitions to KPLT.
