“We have been asking the rebels to cease violence because only then can our movement be effective. Though the decision came late, we welcome the move which will provide some relief to the people.”
“At a time when the government was getting ready for a confrontation, the rebels' announcement has helped eased the tension and ensure that there will be no violence.”
“There was a lot of confusion about our earlier agreement, but with the new agreement and commitments expressed we have erased the confusion and made it clear both sides remain committed to work for our common goal.”
