In Context:
=>The recent ambush and killings have once again brought the continuing insurgencies in the Northeast to the fore.
Reasons for armed insurgency/conflicts:
=> Unique tribal & ethnic divisions: Ethno- communal conflicts, local vs migrants, dominant tribal groups (Nagas raising, NSCN (IM) & (K), ULFA etc).
=> Historical reasons for the conflict: Historical connections among tribes are large of Tibeto-Burman/Mongloid (Ethnically, linguistically & culturally very distinct.)
=> Physiographic constraints: Mountain terrains make it difficult for security forces to track borders.
=> Governance issues: Lack of Politico-administrative arrangement, corruption, nexus b/w political & insurgent groups & Lack of Law & order
=> Porous borders & arms availability: Result in arms & drugs trafficking (Golden Triangle), illegal immigration.
=> Development Issues: Like poverty, unemployment, lack of connectivity, feeling of neglect etc, limited FDI inflow etc.
Challenges in tackling insurgencies:
=> Lack of coordination among agencies, Dual role of Assam Riffles, Poor connectivity, & lack of development.
Importance of NE Region:

=> Economic Importance: Resource-rich region, tourism & export potential, called growth engine of the country.
=> Carbon Sink: Dense forest cover can play a huge role in such endeavour.

Government response to tackle insurgencies:
=> Development Level: NE Road Sector Development Scheme, National Bamboo Mission, Mahabahu-Brahmaputra inland waterway project, Dhubri Phulbari bridge.
=> Cultural Level: North Eastern Cultural and Information Centre, Tribal Festivals.
