Don't trust a word any maoist or islamist speaks. These defensive positions are nothing but ploys to gain time for recovery, reinforcement and consolidation.
Too often have I seen democratic governements being fooled by false marxist (and also islamist) pro ises of 'truce', ceasefires' and 'peace class'. Its all HUDNA - temporary truces for tactical reasons. The war meanwhile goes on.
The latest such incident to happen was in the Southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh - where maoist insurgents called 'Naxalites' agreed to a'truce', and after 5 months of suspended police operations against them, in which they recovered and replenished reserves, they simply walked out of the 'talks'!
Sounds a bit like Spain in the 1930's.
