Difficulties became apparent on July 31, 2005, with the NSCN-IM’s demandthat the ceasefire extension be limited to six months, rather than the usualone-year period. Then, on November 5, IM leader R.H. Raising declared:"There is no point in operating a cease-fire and holding talks without anysolution in sight." This statement came less than a month after the October11, 2005, negotiations in Bangkok, where Muivah had stated, "We are veryhappy to have the talks with the Indian representatives because both sides arenow more serious about all the issues." On November 7, other sympatheticorganizations, including the Naga Hoho, the Naga Mothers Association and theNaga Students’ Federation put their weight behind the NSCN-IM’s positionthat the talks served no purpose unless they were seen to be leading up to apeaceful solution, creating some consternation in the concerned circles.Finally, on December 19, Muivah issued a veiled threat of the resumption of abush war in case a tangible solution was not found by January 31, 2006, the daythe current ceasefire comes to an end.
