India’s government has signed a peace deal with a leading Naga separatist group, bringing to an end one of the country’s oldest insurgencies.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the accord between his government and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland as “historic”.
The rebels in Nagaland state have been demanding an independent homeland for two million Naga tribespeople.
The group, in India’s north-east, have been fighting for more than 60 years.
