Speaking at a public meeting SC Jamir referred to the ongoing peace talks between Naga terrorist outfits and the Union government saying that without unity among all underground factions, no meaningful political negotiation would be possible as no single underground group represented the entire Naga people. He appealed to all political parties, Hohos, Church leaders and NGOs to actively involve themselves in the ongoing peace process to work out a feasible solution.

Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, talking to the press persons in Guwahati, on May 22, stated that ‘the Centre had not intimated anything as yet to the State Government about the extension of the area of cease-fire with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) to Assam’. He also dismissed the possibility of the Centre taking such a major decision affecting a State without consulting the government concerned. Gogoi also voiced his opposition to such an act, which according to him will allow the Naga terrorists ‘to operate freely in Assam areas’. The Chief Minister also corroborated a two-prong strategy to counter insurgency in the State: ‘(i) to ensure that the extremist outfits cannot recruit anymore youth to their ranks and (ii) employing suitable mediators to persuade the extremist leaders to come over for talks’.

According to government of India’s chief negotiator for the Naga talks, K Padmanabhaiah, the two rounds of talks between him and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) leadership have failed to make any headway on the extension of cease-fire beyond Nagaland. In a statement issued in Bangkok, on May 23, Padmanabhaiah said, "The two sides discussed threadbare all issues but reached no conclusion.’ He added, "there are operational issues involved in extending the cease-fire which are creating problems". Earlier this month the NSCN-IM threatened to pull out of the cease-fire agreement if its demands of extending the area of cease-fire are not met. NSCN-IM general secretary Th. Muivah made clear that "it is meaningless to hold talks."

On May 23, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi sought assistance from the Union Government in resolving the insurgency problem in the State. After his meeting with the Prime Minister and the Home Minister in New Delhi, Gogoi stated that the State government is formally writing a letter to the Prime Minister to ascertain whether the Union government was planning to extend the area of cease-fire with National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM). He reiterated his opposition to extension of the area of the cease-fire to Assam on the ground that it would legitimise the activities of the Naga terrorist outfit. Meanwhile, the Union government is likely to convene a meeting of the Chief Ministers of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur soon, to arrive at a consensus on the issue of cease-fire extension.

On May 23, two prominent NGOs in Nagaland, the Naga Hoho (the state’s apex tribal council) and the Council of Naga Baptist Churches (CNBC), have urged the Union government to concede to the demands of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCM-IM). In a joint memorandum submitted to Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, the two organisations said: "Cease-fire and peace are the twin aspirations of the Naga people and the NSCN-IM’s demand for extension of the cease-fire is a positive move. Therefore, we recommend that the cease-fire be extended to all Naga inhabited areas." However, on May 24, the All Manipur United Clubs' Organization (AMUCO) has urged the Prime Minister to ‘restrain from taking any action, which will deteriorate the atmosphere in Manipur in the wake of extension of cease-fire with the NSCN-IM.

According to media reports of October 10, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has given a call for unity among different Naga terrorist outfits and negotiations with the Union government from a common platform for a successful and permanent resolution of the Naga insurgency. The Union government has been negotiating with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), and has committed itself to reaching a negotiated political solution within one or two years, during the talks between the two sides at Amsterdam on September 20-21. However, the NSCN-K warned that the Union government should broad-base the negotiations to include the NSCN-K and the Naga National Council (NNC). The NSCN-K general secretary Kitovi Zhimomi indicated that an agreement signed with the NSCN-IM alone would not have the legitimacy of the entire Naga people and "would be regarded as a purely individual outcome and cannot be called a Naga political settlement." The Union government has entered into a cease-fire with the NSCN-K from April 28, 2001, while it has been carrying on a cease-fire with the NSCN-IM since August 1997.

According to media reports, Amsterdam-based Naga supports group, the Naga International Support Centre (NISC) urged "national and international refugee organisations" to urgently come out in aid of 40,000 Naga tribes people. It claimed these people have been displaced from their homes in Manipur’s Imphal valley in the wake of the anti-ceasefire uprising in June 2001. After the June 14 decision of the Union government to territorially extend its cease-fire with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), there were widespread protests by the Meiteis in the Manipur Valley. There was also increasing tension between the Meiteis and the Nagas living in manipur, which led to the Nagas living in the Imphal Valley of manipur, which is dominated by the Meiteis, to move to safer locations. According to the NISC, these internally displaced Nagas have since been living with their friends and relatives in the Naga-dominated hill districts of Manipur, and also in the hills of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

According to media reports, a 24-hour strike called on November 12 by 18 non-tribal groups opposing a government plan to create a new autonomous territory for Bodo tribesmen disrupted normal life in Assam. Functioning of businesses, schools, offices and traffic on highways in western and northern parts of Assam were disrupted due to the strike. Non-tribals fear that Bodos would evict them once the proposed Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) was formed, slicing out most of western and northern parts of Assam. Meanwhile security has been intensified in the areas proposed to be part of the new BTC patrols following threats by the non-tribals of fresh ethnic violence between them and the Bodos. Several rounds of negotiations have been held between the Union government and the Bodo Liberation Tigers (BLT), and a decision has been reached to form the BTC, for the development of Bodo-dominated areas.
