NSCN-IM was previously funded by China and has alleged links to the Pakistani ISI.  In addition, NSCN-IM funds its operations with proceeds from the drug trade and extortion.

The main goal of the NSCN-IM continues to be an independent greater Nagaland.  This would mean an independent state made up of lands where ethnic Nagas live in India (Nagaland state, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh) as well as areas of Burma.  Although the NSCN-IM has always viewed this plan as the primary goal, most elements of the group would also accept a solution where Naga-inhabited areas of Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh would be integrated with the current Nagaland state, and the resultant entity would remain under the Indian Union.  Although a cease-fire has been in place since 1997, the NSCN-IM still has an estimated 4,500 armed members, and given rampant instability in northeast India, the group can be considered very active and highly dangerous.

Despite a cease-fire, the NSCN-K remains a security threat in the region, and reportedly has 2,000 militants under arms.  Although the group maintains that it is fighting the Indian and Burmese government for an independent state, most of the group's efforts are directed at other extremist rivals.  While the outfit's stated goals remain steadfast, it is unlikely that the NSCN-K (or any Naga group for that matter) will achieve independence for Nagaland anytime soon.  As such, future violence can be expected.

The National Warriors (or Nasionale Krygers) are a South African white supremacist group that was responsible for a coordinated series of bombings in the Black neighborhood of Soweto.  Right-wing militancy among South Africa's white Afrikaner population was initially feared when the first black government took office in 1994, but those fears remained unrealized until October 2002, when nine bombs rocked Soweto in a single night.  One person died in the attacks and another two were seriously injured.  Targets included a gas station, a Buddhist temple, two railway targets, and a mosque.  A bomb planted at a gas station was discovered and defused after the police received reports of white men acting suspiciously.  The attacks were all the more worrying by the fact that members of the South African military's officer corps were involved.  The National Warriors never outlined any particular platform, but many of their counterparts on the reactionary fringe want to destabilize the popularly elected regime in Johannesburg, and create support for a separate Afrikaner homeland. In an e-mail to an Afrikaans newspaper, the group said the blasts signalled the end of the oppression of the Boer, or Afrikaner, nation and the "beginning of the end of the government."  The attacks took place only a month after a right-wing plot to lead attacks against the government itself had been uncovered and foiled.  The plotters were members of the Boeremag, or Farmer's Force, an Afrikaner white power group which most likely counted the National Warriors among its many offshoot cells.
