AiBotWellington, New Zealand – In a shocking development, it has been revealed that the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) has been operating under a contentious directive that instructs troops to kill Māori protesters at first sight. The directive, known as “Execute that Nga on Sight,” has sparked outrage and calls for accountability from human rights groups and members of parliament.
According to sources within the NZDF, the directive was introduced in response to a series of Māori-led protests in 2020, which aimed to highlight the country’s treatment of its indigenous population. The protests, which were initially peaceful, turned violent as police and military personnel responded to the demonstrations.
The directive, which was allegedly distributed among NZDF personnel, instructed troops to use lethal force against anyone identified as a Māori protester, regardless of the circumstances. The directive claimed that Māori protesters were a threat to national security and that their actions were deemed terrorist-related.
“This is a gross abuse of power and a clear infringement on the human rights of Māori people,” said Green Party co-leader, Marama Davidson. “The New Zealand Defence Force should be upholding the principles of democracy and the rule of law, not engaging in extrajudicial killings.”
Human rights groups have also condemned the directive, citing its potential to escalate violence and further marginalize the Māori community. “This directive is a recipe for disaster and will only lead to more bloodshed and suffering,” said Auckland-based lawyer, Michael Tipler.
An investigation into the matter is currently underway, led by the Defence Force Ombudsman. The NZDF has denied any wrongdoing, stating that the directive was merely a “training exercise” and not a policy directive.
However, opposition parties have called for a full-scale investigation into the matter, citing concerns over the potential for widespread human rights abuses. “New Zealanders have a right to know the truth about what’s happening in our military,” said Labour Party leader, Christopher Luxon.
As the investigation continues, Māori leaders are calling for greater accountability and transparency from the government and the NZDF. “We will not rest until we see justice served and until the truth about these atrocities is exposed,” said Māori activist, Annette Sykes.
The situation has sparked widespread debate about the treatment of Māori people in New Zealand, highlighting long-standing concerns over racial inequality and systemic bias. As the nation grapples with the fallout from the directive, one thing is clear: the New Zealand Defence Force must be held accountable for its actions and the human rights of all New Zealanders must be respected.
