In a world of shifting alliances and broken promises, where constitutions are often written in conference halls and debated in polished corridors of power, the Zogam Charter stands apart. It was not penned for political theater, nor birthed out of diplomatic compromise. It was written in conviction. It was sealed in sacrifice. Furthermore, it cost a life!

And that life—Pu Moses Kim Tuang—was innocent. He did not die for faction, for fame, or for party. He died for a vision: the sovereign dignity of the Zomi people, and the dream of a self-governed Zogam, rooted in identity, faith, unity, and freedom. His blood is the ink of our Charter.

What is the Zogam Charter?

Adopted on September 18, 2021, the Zogam Charter is a foundational document of governance, sovereignty, and moral responsibility for the Zomi people. It affirms our right to self-determination as an Indigenous nation; outlines a structure for interim governance through the Zomi Political Coordination Council (ZPCC); and provides a democratic, peaceful roadmap toward the eventual establishment of a Federated Zogam within the Federal Democratic Union of Myanmar. ZOGAM CHARTER.

What Does the Charter Do?

  • Declares Zogam as the ancestral homeland of the Zomi people—from the Chindwin River to Manipur Valley—defining its land, language, culture, and rights.
  • Empowers the ZPCC as the sole interim political authority for the Zomi, coordinating departments including defense, administration, judiciary, federal affairs, women, media, and more.
  • Protects universal rights such as freedom of religion, equality, justice, and indigenous resource ownership.
  • Calls for peace, not war. Law, not lawlessness. It ends division and calls for the unity of all Zomi under one charter, one destiny.

How Did It Come to Be

The Zogam Charter emerged in a moment of national breakdown. Following Myanmar’s military coup in February 2021, the Zomi people faced a political vacuum, repeated marginalization, and existential threats. In response, the Zomi Reunification Organization birthed the ZPCC, and with it, this Charter—our modern Magna Carta, our covenant of self-governance, our declaration of existence.

But unlike charters conceived in legal forums, ours was consecrated by death.

A Constitution Written in Blood

Many constitutions are born of crises. Few are born of martyrdom. The Zogam Charter cost the life of Pu Moses Kim Tuang, an innocent Zomi man whose brutal death was not an accident of conflict—it was the price exacted by those who feared truth. He was silenced, not because he was wrong, but because he represented what is right.

To disregard the Charter is to disregard his blood. To erase it is to play politics on the grave of the innocent. To exploit it for fame, for power, or partisan agendas is to spit upon a sacred offering made in the name of freedom, truth, and the Zomi future.

A Warning to the Dishonorable

Those who play games with sacred things—take heed.

This is not a document to be edited in backrooms. It is not a toy for power-hungry factions. It is not a step stool for opportunists. The Zogam Charter is a sacred creed, civic code, and living covenant. The blood of Moses Kim Tuang cries out still louder than speeches, stronger than propaganda.

History remembers. And it will not be kind to those who tried to silence it.

A Call to All Zomi

To every Zomi—young and old, local and diaspora:

🔹 Protect the Zogam Charter as your lifeblood.
🔹 Promote it with all your voice.
🔹 Preserve it with all your might.
🔹 Proclaim it as our light and law.

This is our Zomi creed. This is our constitutional altar. This is the blood-sealed promise of tomorrow.

Final Words

Do not stand on the wrong side of history.
Do not trade eternal purpose for temporary gain.
Do not gamble with sacred blood for political applause.

Instead, rise. Defend the dignity of what was written, not just in words, but in wounds.

Because when blood speaks, nations rise.
When the truth is written in life, it cannot be erased.
And when a Charter is born of sacrifice, it is no longer paper—it is destiny.

Zogam lives. The Zogam Charter lives. And so long as a single Zomi walks this earth, it will never die.

“ Truth. Justice. Freedom. These are not slogans. They are our sacred inheritance.”
