According to media reports of January 18, the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) might also join the peace process if the Union government succeeded in resolving the Naga issue, currently being negotiated with the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM). The outfit, in its mouthpiece Freedom, reportedly said, "ULFA does heartily wish for a peaceful solution of this decades’ old conflict. If there is a peaceful solution, we will definitely pursue the footsteps of the process." The outfit considered the present peace talks with the NSCN-IM as an acid test for the Union government to find a political solution to conflicts in the north-eastern region. So far, the outfit has been insisting on three preconditions for talks––that the negotiations should be held in a third country; should include Assamese 'sovereignty' on the agenda; and should be held in the presence of a United Nations representative.
