The Manipur State-based ZRO was formed in the Pha Pyin region under the control of the Kachin Independence Organization in 1993. It says it has a 1,000-man army, which is led by current chairman Pu Thang Lian Pau.
Thang Lian Pau is a former secretary of the Zomi National Congress and is also an MP-elect from the 1990 general election.
Zomi nationals live in Tamu, Kalay, the Kabaw valley and Chin State in Burma, India and Bangladesh.
“We bear arms for our security,” said Min Thang. “We fight through nonviolent means also, but we think nonviolence means is not workable so we hold arms for self-defense and for accomplishing our goal of Zomi re-unification.”
At the a meeting with ZRO officials on December 17, 2010, Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram said he appreciated ZRO efforts to maintain regional peace for democracy in Burma, according to a statement issued by the ZRO Information and Public Relations Department.
